  1. It wont go to court, because he can't afford to pay the lawyers. This will be a non event by Nov 21.
  2. Do you think Music, Dance, Painting, Sculpture, Poetry, Logic, Mathematics and other artforms may be helpful or even necessary. Or what does a culture need for sustenance
  3. Be the change you want to see.
  4. Nothing, i was already familiar with Dogon cosmology
  5. You don't know any better. It's a loss for noone.
  6. I have changed how I communicate . I have little desire to convince anyone or encourage different thinking. Last year I would argue points. Then at some point I said I am done arguing, I don't see the point. And then I dropped out of most conversations.
  7. Be the change
  8. Each is better or more successful at their chosen "objective" You can think about intelligence as skill sets. https://web.cortland.edu/andersmd/learning/MI theory.htm Multiple Intelligences According to MI Theory, identifying each student’s intelligences has strong ramifications in the classroom. If a child's intelligence can be identified, then teachers can accommodate different children more successfully according to their orientation to learning. Teachers in traditional classrooms primarily teach to the verbal/linguistic and mathematical/logical intelligences. The nine intelligences are: § VISUAL/SPATIAL - children who learn best visually and organizing things spatially. They like to see what you are talking about in order to understand. They enjoy charts, graphs, maps, tables, illustrations, art, puzzles, costumes - anything eye catching. § VERBAL/LINGUISTIC - children who demonstrate strength in the language arts: speaking, writing, reading, listening. These students have always been successful in traditional classrooms because their intelligence lends itself to traditional teaching. § MATHEMATICAL/LOGICAL - children who display an aptitude for numbers, reasoning and problem solving. This is the other half of the children who typically do well in traditional classrooms where teaching is logically sequenced and students are asked to conform. § BODILY/KINESTHETIC - children who experience learning best through activity: games, movement, hands-on tasks, building. These children were often labeled "overly active" in traditional classrooms where they were told to sit and be still! § MUSICAL/RHYTHMIC - children who learn well through songs, patterns, rhythms, instruments and musical expression. It is easy to overlook children with this intelligence in traditional education. § INTRAPERSONAL - children who are especially in touch with their own feelings, values and ideas. They may tend to be more reserved, but they are actually quite intuitive about what they learn and how it relates to themselves. § INTERPERSONAL - children who are noticeably people oriented and outgoing, and do their learning cooperatively in groups or with a partner. These children may have typically been identified as "talkative" or " too concerned about being social" in a traditional setting. § NATURALIST - children who love the outdoors, animals, field trips. More than this, though, these students love to pick up on subtle differences in meanings. The traditional classroom has not been accommodating to these children. § EXISTENTIALIST - children who learn in the context of where humankind stands in the "big picture" of existence. They ask "Why are we here?" and "What is our role in the world?" This intelligence is seen in the discipline of philosophy. Since Howard Gardner’s original listing of the intelligences in Frames of Mind (1983) there has been a great deal of discussion as to other possible candidates for inclusion (or candidates for exclusion). Subsequent research and reflection by Howard Gardner and his colleagues has looked to three particular possibilities: a naturalist intelligence, a spiritual intelligence and an existential intelligence. He has concluded that the first of these ‘merits addition to the list of the original seven intelligences’ (Gardner 1999: 52).
  9. It is an interesting discusion on time and how it isn't like the other dimension. Plus the mention reality and consciousness, which are all topics that are fascinating to me.
  10. It is difficult reading, well it was for me. https://textureoftime.wordpress.com/2020/02/14/a-fractal-topology-of-time/
  11. I totally agree.
  12. Yes but Pioneer is a practical thinker, and can not imagine what he hasn't seen evidence of in his life. Cynique said that years ago. Once I realsied she was right my frustration with Pioneer disspiated. And I have even defended and sided with him on certain positions.
  13. Don't forget the 3,000,000,000,000 Trump added to the National Debt. Which would make him number 1 in the amount of debt added.
  14. Others can be Broken
  15. Congratulations, you know you are a pawn. Does that make you better or worse off than those who don't know they are pawns. Knowledge isn't always power.
  16. @Mel Hopkins Some people are the Wright Brothers the rest of us are laughing at visionaries until we get on the plane. THe KKK Scientists Entertainers Educators are pawns to the elite. The only people "free" to an extent are Inventors, homeless people , sociopaths and visionaries.
  17. As an aside my own studies have shown me that things not only happen in time they are shaped by the time in which they happen. And I am just now starting to see and map the contours of time.
  18. @Mel HopkinsThere is a way out. Once you free your mind or listen to the voice. it is what inventors and visionaries have always done. I have only realised that I have been trying to do so all of my life. What I posted was inspired.
  19. You are mistaken White Supremacists, White Racists, and the Elite are not all the same. It's like a chess game your position decides your movement and what you can see. Pawns have the most limited movement, and can only move in one direction. The Rooks are the land holders(those with assets, The Knight is the military(athletes), The Bishop is the Clergy (education), The King and Queen are the ruling elite. The function of Royalty is to set the standard. So the King and Queen define the ultimate Man and Women in the country. Each of piece has a pawn that is in front. Notice they are White Pawns and Black pawns. Just like in the fairy tales after much trials a pawn can elevate Each Pawn occupies a unique position and the position shows their master King Pawn 2 and Queen Pawn 2. So based on that analogy you can work out what type of Pawn you are in life.
