That's Gold

Our class had a case study during orientation. Students were arguing both sides. I listened for a while. I raised my hand and said I crunched the numbers. Which ended the argument. Two things are notable. Opinions are often not rational or rather are more about feelings than facts. Second thing is hard copy and computer output has more weight than an individual"s opinion.

In it, the writer posits that most students accept answers without challenging the meaning

When I was in the fifth grade a teacher said to the class. You believe everything we tell you. That statement was like a smack in the face. I asked another student did you hear what she said. He nonchalantly said yes. I repeated they question and got the same response. To this day I wonder what happened to make the teacher say that to 10 year olds.

Thanks Twin, checking-in out the link. I am familiar with the story it was in his book. I listen for a minute then realised it was AI generated

whether a chat bot makes things up is of less consequence, today, that when a human lies to you are makes things up.

It matters because most people aren't expecting AI to make stuff up.

Social intercourse is pleasurable and I like boring women. I think most men like boring women and some women like to be bored.

That is a good question @Delano . My initial reaction is all of my experiences (growing up in Harlem during the 60s and 70s) and genetics (being a black man in America) have shaped my values.

Amy specific experiences that changed your world view

Who or what shaped your values growing up. How much did media films music and books influence you? Also what if anything either influences you or has made you change your world view?

seems far more likely that the universe is what it is.

Yes but the question is , What is it.

You can only see the world through your own mind. And that experience can not be known by anyone else.

How come there is no plane wreckage from 9/11. Pentagon or the towers

Gregory Chaitin is a mathematician and he says the base level of reality may not be particles but information. DNA is information encoded chemically. While based on my experiences with Astrology and time. I also feel the base level is information. I have found that time both Astrological and clock time has information that I can access.

It is an interesting hypothesis that we may be in a simulation. It is one of the most interesting questions in philosophy. Unfortunately it may impossible or nearly so to find and answer.

I think it's more plausible that our perceptions colour our reality. But also that our thoughts create our reality. Which may imply that everyone is right in their beliefs. However this is only true on a subjective level. Which is the level most people experience the world

@Troy no I didn't know about Jasper. I heard Farrakhan speaking Boston and met Minister Don Muhammad.

For the past 40 years I have been living in both the "real world" and the magical one. I may be at the crossroads of existing more in one rather than the other. I let you know if anything notable happens in July and October.

I would say a civilisation is defined by language and culture. While an employee is defined by geography.

Here's the Merriam Webster definition of civilization

: the beliefs, customs, arts, etc. characteristic of a particular time or place :

Empire

major political unit having a territory of great extent or a number of territories or peoples under a single sovereign authority

especially : one having an emperor as chief of state

(2)

: the territory of such a political unit

Here's the delineation.

 

 

 

The 2015 United States of America Presidential Elections

 

The people Want a leader who will hide their true motives and 

 

be the firm but unpredictable mother. However they will change 

 

their mind 26 days after the Inauguration of the Presidnet. 

 

Let's call them Lily.

 

The second type of cadindidate, is a radical or free thinking 

 

individual. Who is comfortable walking and working with the 

 

movers and the shakers. And They like him they just don't 

 

undersatnd him or her. This person starts out building 

 

consensus and then switches gears after 14 days. Let's call 

 

them Mark.

 

The third candidate is the what the country actually needs. 

 

They are a true leader that realizes that people generally are 

 

not ready for change. So you have to force it upon them. What 

 

is interesting about this leader is  they have elemnts of both 

 

the first and second candidate. Check the news 3 years and 10 

 

months 16 days ago Nov 1 2011. The should show up oct 29, 2015. 

 

Lets call them Harry 

 

Unfortunately the most popular person at the moment is the 

 

person most likely to start a world war.

 

There is a fourth candidate, very unlikely to win though. They 

 

may come fromm the conservative party. However they are a 

 

moderate. They almost defy classification. They don't have 

 

alllegiance to bad policy or ideas. They just are interested in 

 

workst

I wasn't familiar with Baldwin's writing at the time. However there are artist that I thought it was important to see. He was one of them.

@Troy I remember running into you and Jasper at the Nina Hendrix concert I Brooklyn. And a play that your friend was an actor. IT to Bookseller plus you have a wide range.

I did a delineation using names for the candidates, you said Trump was Lilly. So I didn't say it directly but you pointed out that the pseudonym I used was Trump
