The Absurd Sea of Ideology

While contemplating on the nature of belief, the ideological web which governs it becomes extremely complex at an alarmingly accelerating rate. Prima facie, belief, in essence, appears to be simple and straightforward for our minds; however, once its dimensions begin unraveling themselves, meditating on the whole notion begins to feel like a trip down the absurd alleyway. It gets even worse once t Read more of this blog post »

This is an essential book on Data Governance that I have thoroughly enjoyed reading over a long span in preparation of my Data Governance Specialist Exam after completing the Certified Data Management Professional Certification from DAMA.

Hassan’s Quotes

“He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore.”
― Sigmund Freud, Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis

“The true Christian was intended by Christ to prove all things by the Word of God: all churches, all ministers, all teaching, all preaching, all doctrines, all sermons, all writings, all opinions, all practices. These are his marching orders. Prove all by the Word of God; measure all by the measure of the Bible; compare all with the standard of the Bible; weigh all in the balances of the Bible; examine all by the light of the Bible; test all in the crucible of the Bible. That which cannot abide the fire of the Bible, reject, refuse, repudiate, and cast away. This is the flag which he nailed to the mast. May it never be lowered!”
― John Wycliffe
