लोक नवीन गोष्टी अ‍ॅडॉप्ट करतात .. फार काळजी क्रू नै> तुमची जीवशास्त्राची जाण फारच नगण्य किंवा नाहीच असे खेदाने म्हणावे लागेल. जुळवून घेणे (अ‍ॅडापटेशन) फक्त पोषक परिस्थ्तितीमध्येच होते. लोकसंख्येचा ताण, कुपोषण, विषद्रव्यांचा मारा, जगण्याचा ताण यामुळे जुळवून घेण्यावर मोठा परिणाम होतो. अगोदर मधुमेहाची जागतिक राजधानी असलेला देश मग कर्करोगाची जागतिक राजधानी म्हणुन प्रसिध्दी पावतो. उद्या देश १ल्या क्रमांकाची अर्थव्यवस्था बनला तरी पेटंट इकॉनॉमी न बनता टेंपल इकॉनॉमितच गुरफटुन राहणार आहे, ही काळ्या दगडावरची रेघ आहे. पेटंट इकॉनॉमी निर्माण व्हायला देशात गुणशाही हवी. त्यासाठी कल्पकतेला उत्तेजन हवे. इथे समाजाची जुनाट कल्पना सोडायची तयारी नाही आणि अ‍ॅडापटेशनचे कौतूक कुणाला सांगताय?

नॉनस्टॉप अडाणीपणा काही लोकांचा नॉन्स्टॉप अडाणीपणा करमणूक करतो- मी सहज म्हणून ग्रोकला विचारलं की - are there any communities in the world that are on the verge of vanishing? त्याने मला जगातले १० समाज नष्ट होण्याच्या मार्गावर आहेत असे सांगितले. Yes, there are several communities around the world that are on the verge of vanishing due to various factors such as depopulation, economic decline, environmental changes, modernization, and cultural assimilation. Below, I highlight some examples based on available information, including small towns, indigenous groups, and cultural communities, with a focus on their challenges and the reasons behind their potential disappearance. ### 1. **Small Towns in Canada** Many small towns in Canada are facing depopulation and economic decline, particularly those reliant on single industries like fishing, mining, or agriculture. These communities are fading as younger generations move to urban centers for better opportunities, leaving behind aging populations and abandoned infrastructure. Examples include: - **Little Bay Islands, Newfoundland**: Once a thriving fishing community, the collapse of the fishing industry led to its near abandonment. Families resettled, and the town is now largely a ghost town, with nature reclaiming its spaces.[](https://trendonomist.com/22-beautiful-small-towns-in-canada-that-are-on-the-verge-of-vanishing/) - **Kitsault, British Columbia**: A modern ghost town built in the 1970s for molybdenum mining, Kitsault was abandoned almost overnight when the market collapsed. Its preserved buildings stand as a relic of economic ambition and loss.[](https://trendonomist.com/22-beautiful-small-towns-in-canada-that-are-on-the-verge-of-vanishing/) - **Nordegg, Alberta**: A former coal-mining town, Nordegg’s population dwindled after mining operations ceased. Its abandoned mines and homes reflect the risks of single-industry reliance.[](https://trendonomist.com/22-beautiful-small-towns-in-canada-that-are-on-the-verge-of-vanishing/) - **Sandon, British Columbia**: Once sustained by mining and agriculture, Sandon’s resources dried up, leaving behind overgrown paths and a sense of nostalgia for its vibrant past.[](https://trendonomist.com/22-beautiful-small-towns-in-canada-that-are-on-the-verge-of-vanishing/) These towns face challenges like dwindling economies, lack of job opportunities, and an aging population, which contribute to their decline. Their cultural and historical significance remains, but without intervention, many may vanish entirely. ### 2. **Genkai Shūraku (Vanishing Villages) in Japan** In Japan, the phenomenon of **genkai shūraku** refers to rural villages on the brink of extinction due to severe depopulation and aging populations. These communities, often located in remote areas, struggle to maintain their traditional lifestyles and cultural heritage as younger generations migrate to urban centers. Key points include: - **Demographic Shifts**: Japan’s population declined to less than 125 million by 2020, with a loss of over 1.3 million people in five years. Rural areas are particularly affected, with many villages having over 50% of residents aged 65 or older.[](https://ikigai-manga-dive.pl/en/genkai-shuraku-the-challenge-of-vanishing-villages-in-japan-and-the-touristic-solution-to-the-issue)[](https://ukiyo-japan.pl/en/genkai-shuraku-the-challenge-of-vanishing-villages-in-japan-and-the-touristic-solution-to-the-issue) - **Cultural Loss**: These villages hold centuries-old traditions, but the lack of successors threatens their survival. For example, traditional crafts, festivals, and agricultural practices are fading as elderly residents pass away. - **Tourism as a Solution**: Some villages are turning to sustainable rural tourism to revitalize their communities. By promoting unique cultural and natural attractions, they attract visitors and generate income. However, challenges like commercialization and tensions with tourists over cultural respect remain.[](https://ikigai-manga-dive.pl/en/genkai-shuraku-the-challenge-of-vanishing-villages-in-japan-and-the-touristic-solution-to-the-issue)[](https://ukiyo-japan.pl/en/genkai-shuraku-the-challenge-of-vanishing-villages-in-japan-and-the-touristic-solution-to-the-issue) - **Example: Iketani Village, Niigata Prefecture**: This village, once at risk of disappearing after a 2004 earthquake, increased its population from a low point by welcoming urban volunteers for farming and reconstruction work. Its success highlights the potential of community-driven revitalization.[](https://www.gov-online.go.jp/eng/publicity/book/hlj/html/201905/201905_04_en.html) ### 3. **Indigenous Communities in the Philippines** The Philippines is home to 14–17 million Indigenous Peoples across 110 ethnic groups, many of whom face threats to their cultural practices due to modernization, environmental degradation, and economic pressures. Specific examples include: - **Ifugao Weavers in Kiangan**: Traditional weaving, a cornerstone of Ifugao culture, is declining due to low economic returns. Weavers spend significant time on intricate patterns but receive meager compensation, discouraging younger generations from continuing the practice.[](https://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/lifestyle/vanishing-traditions-exploring-indigenous-rituals-customs-in-the-philippines) - **Alangan Mangyans**: Traditionally living in large communal houses called *balaylakoy*, many have shifted to modern housing due to external influences, reducing the prevalence of these cultural centers.[](https://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/lifestyle/vanishing-traditions-exploring-indigenous-rituals-customs-in-the-philippines) - **Badjao Burial Customs**: The Badjao, a sea-faring people, practice unique burial traditions tied to their coastal lands. Modernization, economic hardship, and disregard for tradition threaten these customs, which hold wisdom about sustainable living and community cohesion.[](https://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/lifestyle/vanishing-traditions-exploring-indigenous-rituals-customs-in-the-philippines) Preserving these traditions is critical not only for cultural heritage but also for their contributions to global knowledge about sustainable practices and medicinal plants. ### 4. **Palestinian Bedouin Communities** Some Palestinian Bedouin communities in the Middle East are at risk of disappearing due to displacement and external pressures. Posts on X highlight a specific community that "no longer exists," pointing to issues like ethnic cleansing and forced relocation. While these claims are serious, they require further verification due to their sensitive and controversial nature. The loss of such communities involves not only physical displacement but also the erasure of nomadic traditions and cultural identity.[](https://x.com/Torikit/status/1929879492463362340)[](https://x.com/BLM4Corbyn/status/1929897572098826421)[](https://x.com/Razrsharp19/status/1930641444961677619) ### 5. **Hidden Christians in Japan** A rare form of Christianity practiced by the "Hidden Christians" (*Kakure Kirishitan*) in Japan is on the verge of extinction. This unique religious community, which developed in secrecy during Japan’s ban on Christianity in the 17th–19th centuries, is dying out as its practitioners age and younger generations do not continue the traditions. The loss of this group would erase a distinct cultural and religious heritage shaped by centuries of isolation.[](https://x.com/sommelier50/status/1930640550908022972) ### 6. **Yezidis and Assyrians in the Middle East** Small ethnoreligious groups like the Yezidis and Assyrians, primarily in Iraq and Syria, face existential threats due to urbanization, emigration, and historical persecution. Many members of these communities live in diaspora, and their cultural practices, languages, and traditions are at risk of fading within the next 100–200 years. The Yezidis, for example, have faced significant displacement due to conflict, further endangering their cultural survival.[](https://x.com/levantophile/status/1932209136902533529) ### 7. **Hopeville, Arizona (Black Community)** Hopeville, a historically Black neighborhood in Buckeye, Arizona, is at risk of vanishing due to growth-driven local policies and demographic changes. Established in the 1980s as a relocation site for Black residents displaced from Allenville after floods, Hopeville faces pressures from urban development and an influx of non-Black residents, which has weakened its cultural cohesion. Residents fear that local officials’ focus on growth could erase this community’s identity, a concern rooted in historical patterns of racial distrust and displacement.[](https://www.miamiherald.com/detour/article276630131.html) ### 8. **Japantowns in the United States** The three remaining Japantowns in the U.S. (in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Jose) are at risk of disappearing due to economic pressures, gentrification, and displacement. Rising rents and commercial development threaten mom-and-pop shops, which are vital to these communities’ cultural identity. For example, since the 2008 recession, 43 businesses in Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo have closed or relocated. Community advocates are pushing for local control over land to preserve these historic neighborhoods, but the challenges of corporate ownership and urban renewal persist.[](https://www.yahoo.com/news/pandemic-threatens-destroy-americas-three-164345518.html) ### 9. **Indigenous Tribes in India’s Andaman Islands** Only four indigenous tribes remain in India’s Andaman Islands, and they face extinction due to external intrusions, habitat loss, and cultural assimilation. These tribes, such as the Sentinelese and Jarawa, have lived in isolation for centuries but are increasingly threatened by tourism, illegal contact, and environmental changes. Their small populations and lack of immunity to outside diseases make them particularly vulnerable.[](https://x.com/Chellaney/status/1907799806807867834) ### 10. **Hippie Culture in Goa, India** The hippie culture that defined Goa’s tourism in the 1960s and 1970s is nearly extinct due to commercialization. Once a haven for countercultural travelers, Goa’s image as a free-spirited paradise has been replaced by mass tourism, which prioritizes profit over cultural authenticity. This shift has eroded the unique lifestyle and communal values that attracted hippies, leaving only traces of their legacy.[](https://www.incrediblegoa.org/feature/hippie-culture-almost-on-the-verge-of-vanishing-from-goa-due-to-high-level-of-commercialisation-in-the-tourism-sector/) ### Common Themes and Challenges These communities share several challenges that contribute to their risk of vanishing: - **Depopulation**: Migration to urban areas for economic opportunities leaves rural and small communities with aging populations unable to sustain themselves. - **Economic Decline**: Reliance on single industries (e.g., mining, fishing) makes communities vulnerable to market collapses or resource depletion. - **Cultural Assimilation**: Modernization and globalization often erode traditional practices, as younger generations adopt dominant cultural norms. - **Environmental Pressures**: Climate change, floods, and land degradation threaten the physical spaces where communities thrive. - **Displacement**: Urban development, conflict, or government policies can force communities to relocate, disrupting their cultural and social fabric. - **Lack of Resources**: Limited access to funding, education, or infrastructure hinders efforts to preserve cultural heritage or revitalize communities. ### Efforts to Preserve These Communities Some communities are taking steps to survive: - **Tourism and Cultural Promotion**: Japan’s genkai shūraku and Canada’s ghost towns are leveraging tourism to generate income and raise awareness, though sustainable practices are crucial to avoid commercialization.[](https://ikigai-manga-dive.pl/en/genkai-shuraku-the-challenge-of-vanishing-villages-in-japan-and-the-touristic-solution-to-the-issue)[](https://ukiyo-japan.pl/en/genkai-shuraku-the-challenge-of-vanishing-villages-in-japan-and-the-touristic-solution-to-the-issue) - **Community-Led Initiatives**: Iketani Village’s success with urban volunteers shows the power of grassroots efforts.[](https://www.gov-online.go.jp/eng/publicity/book/hlj/html/201905/201905_04_en.html) - **Advocacy and Legal Protections**: In the U.S., Japantown advocates are fighting for community ownership of land to protect cultural businesses.[](https://www.yahoo.com/news/pandemic-threatens-destroy-americas-three-164345518.html) - **Documentation and Education**: Projects like the Vanishing Cultures Project work with indigenous groups to document traditions and fund preservation initiatives.[](https://www.vcproject.org/about/what_we_do/) ### Critical Perspective While the sources provide valuable insights, they often reflect mainstream narratives that may overlook local voices or exaggerate decline for dramatic effect. For example, claims of “ethnic cleansing” in Palestinian Bedouin communities are serious but need corroboration beyond social media posts. Similarly, tourism as a solution, while promising, risks commodifying cultures if not managed carefully, as seen in Japan and Goa. The focus on “vanishing” can also overshadow communities’ resilience and agency, as seen in Hopeville’s continued cultural pride despite external pressures.[](https://ikigai-manga-dive.pl/en/genkai-shuraku-the-challenge-of-vanishing-villages-in-japan-and-the-touristic-solution-to-the-issue)[](https://www.incrediblegoa.org/feature/hippie-culture-almost-on-the-verge-of-vanishing-from-goa-due-to-high-level-of-commercialisation-in-the-tourism-sector/)[](https://www.miamiherald.com/detour/article276630131.html) ### Conclusion Communities on the verge of vanishing span diverse regions and cultures, from Canadian ghost towns to Japanese villages, indigenous groups in the Philippines, and ethnoreligious minorities in the Middle East. Their struggles highlight broader global trends of urbanization, economic shifts, and cultural homogenization. While some are finding innovative ways to survive, such as through tourism or advocacy, their futures remain uncertain without sustained support. Preserving these communities is not just about saving their physical presence but also about safeguarding the knowledge, traditions, and diversity they contribute to the world. स्वगत - ए०आय्०चे महत्त्व ज्यांना कळले नाही त्यांना ए०आय० वापराय्ची सवय कशी लागणार?

भाषा ही गणितापेक्षा खूप जास्त महत्वाची आहे असं विजय भटकर हे २५ वर्षांपूर्वी म्हणाले होते, तेंव्हा मला खूपच आश्चर्य वाटलेले होते. पण आता ए आय मध्ये काम करत असताना, लॉजिक महत्वाचे व भाषा फक्त 'आलेले उत्तर' सांगण्यासाठी असा जो समज होता, तो ढासळला आहे. लॉजिक हे भाषेच्या आत मध्ये आहे अशी मान्यता आता रूढ होत आहे. त्यामुळे खासकरून ए आय च्या काळात भाषेला अनन्यसाधारण महत्व प्राप्त होणार आहे यात मला तरी शंका नाही.

मान मिळवण्यासाठी आपली लायकी सिद्ध करावी. diamonds command great price in market. They dont need to demand. कमांडचा अर्थच हा आहे कि आपल्या लायकीमुळे आपल्याला समाजाने किंमत द्यावी. आपल्या पदवी किंवा बिरुदामुळे नव्हे. आपल्या नावापुढे बिरुद लावून लोकांनी मान द्यायला पाहिजे असा आग्रह धरणे हे एक मूर्खपणाचे लक्षण आहे. जर लोकांनी आपल्याला हुशार म्हणावे यासाठी कोणी अशी "डॉक्टरकी" करत असेल तर तो एक भंपकपणा ठरेल. मुळात "लोकांनी" आपल्याला चांगले म्हणावे हि अपेक्षाच का असावी?
