Everything always comes back to the stoics. Why not learn from them instead?

Today in The Conversation U.S.
Always labeling things as good or bad?
That habit might be shrinking your world.

Unsolved mysteries are the worst, I have some shows in mind
But it doesn't apply to The Good Place, which is perhaps the best show I've seen in the last decade

From incandescent's dim glow
To halogen's efficient brightness
And now LED's blinding rays
We still cannot see clearly
All that we want in the darkness

All #Religions Can’t Be Right, But They Could All Be Wrong!

What if your religion isn’t the one true path, but just the one you happened to be born into? When every religion claims to be the truth, but they contradict each other, what does that say about the whole system? This is where #doubt begins and honest #thinking starts.

FYI... some #colonial #thinking

Gruinard Island (/ˈɡrɪnjərd/ GRIN-yərd; Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Ghruinneard) is a small, oval-shaped Scottish island.

Gruinard Bay, about halfway between Gairloch and Ullapool. At its closest point to the mainland, it is about one kilometre (one-half nautical mile) offshore. In 1942 the island became a sacrifice zone, and was dangerous for all mammals after military experiments with the anthrax bacterium, until it was *decontaminated in 1990.

*decontaminated??

Public Service Announcement

If someone wants you to NOT THINK, they are NOT YOUR FRIEND.

"Don't worry about it"
"It's inevitable"
"We don't have time for these meetings"
"You must decide now"
"This is above your pay-grade"
"Use an AI"
"It's not your problem"
"It is written"
"Meditation helps"
"I've always voted for that party"
"There is nothing you can do about it"
"Might as well live with it"
"There no budget for that"

“Only 20% of the chatbot group could remember a quote from their own essay. Shown their own essay afterwards, 16% of the chatbot group denied it was theirs.

That shouldn’t be surprising — if you’re not doing the work, you won’t remember the work.“

I Don’t Teach Beliefs. I Teach Mechanisms.
Beliefs divide. Systems build.

You don’t need more opinion. You need architecture. I don’t tell you what to think. I help you see how thought moves.

“It is not easy to describe things here. It is a life of unreality. … Reflection withers. … There seems to be no place at all for real thought. … Every day I say to myself: Patience, just be patient. Don’t be discouraged, no matter what. If we do what we can, the rewarding moments are bound to return.”

#KarlJaspers, writing from Germany, in a letter to #HannahArendt, 12 March 1946.
