Homemakers were very social people because taking care of relationships was a very important part of being a homemaker. Volunteering comes with intrin...
When the facts do not agree, they might not be facts but opinions. Or when something happens people may see it from different points of view. That is ...
Until I start arguing against what you said, I was not aware of how political I have been. I wanted to say I was a domestic woman and taking care of m...
My X kept the family in very remote places where no one knew of the world outside their own backyard. I thought I would lose my mind or die of intelle...
That is hilarious. But personally, I can survive when I lose internet service as long as I can play games on the computer. However, if more than a wee...
No that doesn't seem to explain what I see. My city has a board to discuss climate change and we have an organization that plants trees and our street...
I love Dewey's suggestion. I remember the science building of Hollywood High, in LA California, and the message over the front door. It said Science i...
I watched an explanation of why alternative energy is not going to save us. I was horrified to learn that some places in the US are burning trees to p...
I am on kind of a campaign to spread Daniel Kahneman's explanation of thinking, but you appear to be Asian? Through this forum, I came across informat...
The point of reading with attentive focus is constructing the argument, which is totally different from telling someone his/her faults. Sharp intuitio...
Why seven, justice, God? Seven is Heptad. "The number seven occupies a critical place within the Dekad, where it acts as both a link and chasm. As a l...
:grin: I am not sure I follow your reasoning but it is intriguing. It is kind of like are unicorns real? Who does not know what a unicorn is? We would...
Well, that quote is not from me. This is what you said: That appears to be your judgment, and it is not arguing a point made in the former argument. H...
I am not sure of your meaning, but we are programmed to see symmetry and patterns as beautiful. I think many think of math with dread, but math lovers...
Would you please explain that to my granddaughter who appears to be making her life hell by her very sour outlook? It seems common for the young to be...
I like that. I am having a social problem. It is a lifelong social problem. I am no good at making small talk. I have no interest in engaging in small...
Wow, maybe our wisdom is dependent on our teachers? I don't think in the west we pay much attention to wisdom? In the US we have much reliance on reli...
What we see depends on our ability to see. In your gut, what is guiding what you can see and what you can not see? Why did you take out your sword to ...
It is not just our beliefs that matter, but also how we conduct ourselves and manage our arguments. I always enjoy your threads and I don't think you ...
Okay, what is a good way to classify our truths (a word) so we can label those truths in conversation as different kinds of truth? For example, the sc...
I understand being materialistic as believing all things are matter. As opposed to believing in the gods or animism. It would be the western focus on ...
I am not sure what you mean by that. My mother thought children were naturally wise and she influenced me to value wisdom. I think that my choice to h...
I want to jump in because I think,I love Cham-choms, is correct. I had a friend with a low IQ who had the smarts of an animal (I envied him for this) ...
The first part of the transformation of data to information and knowledge makes sense to me, but the last phase does not make sense to me. It sure doe...
No progress can be made without thinking and experience is essential to get from knowledge to wisdom. A high IQ and book learning doesn't equal wisdom...
An interesting and important question, I have a very old logic book that explains we can never know enough to believe we know what we know without a d...
Oh my goodness YES! And people can get so UPSET because someone said the wrong thing! In my later years when I have the luxury of giving a thought my ...
Years ago when I excitedly plugged into the internet, I decided computers are far from smart! We need human beings we can call because they can resolv...
I do not think that is so. Each of us has a different experience of reality. So when I told my son to be careful because what he was about to pick up ...
That was some pretty fancy step dancing. I love "True the particular, and truth the generalization." That is much better than "the truth". I think cul...
I am quite sure I did not say "all that matters to goodness is loyalty". Because I did not list all the things that are important to goodness, it is u...
I believe starting a thought with "I believe" is inviting an argument and very good manners. It is friendlier than communicating as though we do not d...
Not stealing because it could lead to going to jail, is not a very high standard of morality. There are many legal ways to take advantage of people. A...

There is not a big difference between human and animal moral behavior. Our wiring for that is the same as for all social animals. The only thing that ...
I am quoting from Michael S. Schneider's book "A Beginner's Guide to the Universe". This is an advanced understanding of the trinity. It is about the ...
What a wonderful to start the day, a good cup of coffee and a good argument. :grin: What you said may be true but it stretches my imagination to think...
Yeah, but you can improve your chances if you study the riders and the horses before the bet, right? Then the competition can be who is the best at re...
I find your explanation fascinating. Thank you. I never heard of institutional facts versus brute facts before. That language becomes an institutional...
Thank you for stating the importance of liberty and entrepreneurship to scientific advancement and wealth. :lol: Your statement about civilization and...
