It’s time to explore key ideas and takeaways.
First, a reminder about the philosophy of journalism.
Truth is rarely delivered whole; it is assembled carefully from partial, imperfect observations.
With that, two “tales.”
Next up. Two “quotes.”
Our first story.
Subject: Worldview.
- Michael Alan Prestwood.
- 2024.
We all see the world through a personal lens shaped by experience. Once you recognize your worldview, you can finally examine it, refine it, and choose how you think.
From another angle.
Every person walks through life with a personal lens shaped by experience, belief, and knowledge. Recognizing you have a worldview — and that everyone else does too — is the first step toward understanding, empathy, and clearer thinking. Once you see your own lens, you can finally adjust it.

Now for our second story.
Subject: Impermanence.
- Heraclitus.
- 500 BCE.
Change is the only form of permanence that exists—first glimpsed by ancient thinkers, and now woven into the fabric of modern science.
Seen another way.
Heraclitus’ claim that “everything is in flux” captures a deep truth shared by both metaphysics and classical physics. The world appears stable only because change often happens gradually. Beneath every solid object, fixed identity, and steady law lies continuous motion, transformation, and becoming. What endures is not stillness, but patterned change.

Finally, 4 frequently asked “questions.”
Tidbit number three, the first of two quotes.
Subject: Ancient History.
A bit. The Roman Empire grew by assimilation.
In short.
Rome expanded by incorporating conquered peoples, adopting their gods, customs, technologies, and elites into a unified system. Unlike the Borg’s erasure of individuality, Rome often preserved local identity under Roman law, blending diversity with centralized control to sustain a vast empire.

Tidbit number four, another quote.
Subject: Elusive Illusions.
The Ebbinghaus Illusion reminds us that our senses don’t report reality directly; they interpret it.
Simply put.
Illusions don’t just trick the eyes. They expose the mind’s shortcuts and how easily context shapes belief, not just perception. The deeper lesson is that clarity includes how we see. In a world of elusive illusions, hinting allusions illuminate.

“Done.”
Tidbits are the smallest working units of this project—focused facts, stories, or explanations tied directly to evidence and sources.
Over time, this structure allows related ideas to reconnect naturally across disciplines and across years.
Refresh for another set.
