WIST Quotations

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

Our credulity is greatest concerning the things we know least about. And since we know least about ourselves, we are ready to believe all that is said about us. Hence the mysterious power of both flattery and calumny.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
The Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 128 (1955)

The generic name of these trays is wája, many things could be said about them.They're a cultural element derived from a deep capacity for contemplation of non-human #Others. This is the pattern for kwekwe, the native name of Dendrobates leucomelas (I put below a photo I took), also called in Spanish arrowhead little #frog (“punta de flecha”), since it's used as an ingredient in the poison for hunting. Some alternative names may also be kawau, sinyawe and tubudu, which are other frogs.
