I am good with what you are doing. I can see the different discussions happening in the thread and I think we need to just go with the flow. In the pa...
Okay the New Age consciousness has begun. Like I am in total shock about our government discussing paying for child care, and frequently I am hearing ...
Well thank you. I think that means there is hope for the future. No matter what happens, even if we are reduced to a few tribes barely able to survive...
You might think about the answer for yourself. One of the most damaging things we do is have huge farms that require huge amounts of fertilizer. The j...
Okay, I have to read that! He published a few books and I am not sure which one is the most important to my effort. I am too tired to figure it out no...
That is not exactly true. Primitive lifestyles were not always eco-friendly. The most common problem was deforestation. Easter Island is a good exampl...
But without science, no one would know we have global warming. People would still think everything is about the will of a god, and if that god is plea...
That is truly beautiful but also terrifying! I think my head just can not comprehend it. I am not comfortable with being lost in space and time. It is...
I found an Alisdair Mcintyre speech on-line https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20191001-dunbars-number-why-we-can-only-maintain-150-relationships#:~:t...
Absolutely and I am puzzled by your ability to understand what I am saying because my fellow citizens do not. If I were rich and younger, I would have...
What an absolutely delightful argument! Hold on to your chair because I am going to get very cynical. :wink: Since when did the fate of the poor becom...
I am so glad you see the expansion of military order throughout the whole of society. You may have been taught to think about the means of achieving g...
I think you speak with much more hindsight than you realize. Only recently have many of us accepted global warming is happening. It is all well and go...
Wow. A gentleman in the apartment complex where I live is devoted to math. I asked him what is happening in the math field and he explained there are ...
While I agree with some of what you said, I also disagree with things you said. I sure do not see Cities in India, China, Afghanistan as the same. I a...
Please, explain. Are you saying the Chinese have a better way of life? Perhaps India is the best model? Arabs are equal to Asians? Do you want to live...
Yes, yes, and that is why I argue education so seriously! Saltwater is water, but you do not to drink it. When we are considering education, we need t...
My last post was not done when it posted because of a technical problem, but there is no harm in jumping to your last post. What you said is true, and...
I love that statement! :heart: Yes, our heroes were quaint but culturally very important to the US, and destroying them, as we have done, has destroye...
What other system empowers individuals and lifts the individual human potential, and therefore, the collective potential of civilization? No, I will g...
I watched a video about education last night that explains what is wrong the government attempting to control education. Good mothers and teachers of ...
Yes, he was and he knew what he was talking about. I was going through the books that contained the government documents for every year, because I wan...
When the masses are clueless, as they are, democracy is only an illusion. In another thread, Weber was mentioned so I pulled out a book of Weber Selec...
I hate it when I make mistakes like that. Obviously, I meant "Persia" when I wrote "Prussia" and was speaking of the Persian invasion of the Greeks. :...
:grin: "Democracy is a way of life and social organization which above all others is sensitive to the dignity and worth of the individual human person...
You have a very important perspective on the development of government, but there is one more thing we need to know. Government research :lol: I minor...
Oh for sure, for sure! I desperately need the input of others! What we are thinking needs to be challenged from an outside source or we are not really...
I am sorry I am only a domestic woman. Pay careful attention here and look for the gray that is both black or white. And know your questions are great...
Yes, it is an important correction that must be made. We live on a finite planet and if we do not respect the limits of the finite reality, we will se...
Yes Yes, the enlightenment is about ending ignorance and realizing the human potential. It might be easier to understand if we replace the word "God" ...
Specialization is poison to democracy! Can we turn to classical literature once again? Pericles' raised the spirits of his fellow citizens at a funera...
How can that be? Ideally, democracy is rule by reason. How does a creature with an evolved brain develop its potential for reasoning well? How does it...
The links I gave you were not my sources of information. My sources of information are old books about education and include old grade school textbook...
I do not assume any classroom/school can have the debate about what has gone wrong with education, because no one knows enough to have that debate. Wh...
Thomas Jefferson was very clear that only if our republic was defended in the classroom, would it be defended. He devoted his life to everyone having ...
I am not accustomed to this forum being one of personal attacks instead of on-topic. Why do you assume I am unaware of rural areas? :rofl: My x kept t...
Okay, you know of Foucault so you know the following as well. And in his 1899 book "TALKS TO TEACHERS ON PSYCHOLOGY; AND TO STUDENTS ON SOME OF LIFE'S...
I do not agree with that statement. The more we know, the more we can learn and the amount we have learned in the last century is far greater than we ...
What a wake-up call! That is a very good objection to electric cars. We had an electric car blow-up stuff where the accident happened and I think we a...
Yes, moral is knowing the laws of nature and good manners, and that concept goes with democracy and liberty. "Isn't knowing these laws the cause of th...
Whoo, that was a pretty negative point of view and I immediately thought to President John Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline and Camelot. We loved them....
No God can save the planet, only humans can stop the destruction. It is about morals and morals mean knowing the laws of nature and good manners. Thos...
What I read said within 30 years 50% of the carbon dioxide would be removed from the atmosphere. I think that would stabilize things. However, we need...
:gasp: And maybe we should burn "those people" who reject God, out of town so God will stop being angry with us? Or maybe we should be walking from to...
When the priority of US education was education for good citizenship, we used the Conceptual method. That is teaching increasingly complex concepts. U...
