Too many adverts. Great way to lose customers.

A fresh angle on the finite pursuit of infinite knowledge

Encyclopaedias aim to cover all knowledge or else some specialised field comprehensively. These seem curious goals when one considers it and in a time of Wikipedia and seemingly limitless expansions of online cloud based storage and increasingly universal access to it it’s worth contemplating how realistic is the very concept? Farlax has, I thought, cheated because it includes a number of entries with the warning that the article was copied from the Great Soviet Encyclopedia (1979). Actually this ‘cheat’ makes it valuable and gives me something additional to (for example) Britannica, Wikipedia and a web search engine failed to provide. Consider the various sources definition of oxymoron at the time of writing and you might see my point. Who is to say that the Great Soviet Encyclopedia’s view of a word that’s been in use and whose use has morphed over time as tends to happen is any less relevant or insightful than say the OED’s today? In my own case I found it gave me very significant insight but then again non-duality is very much a live thing for me just now so perhaps that’s why it seemed worth me writing this review right away to commend the app to others and to thank the app’s authors for making it available to me here and now (and all the countless others who also have made this possible; thank you all 😌🙏🏼). The following article is from The Great Soviet Encyclopedia (1979). It might be outdated or ideologically biased.

Useful

A useful resource to have at your fingertip. If you haven’t time to examine a lengthy Wikipedia article, the succinctness of this might satisfy the immediate need.

Excellent app
