RE: Know Thyself

in #poetry6 years ago (edited)

So good of you to share yourself with us and the process of your discovery on how your grey matter works. We are all wired differently for sure, it would be nice if we got an as built plan of the wiring to refer to instead of having to do a lot of wire tracing to figure out just how it all works.
I totally agree that the learning process never stops and the key to that is to ask questions. Our education system has a major defect in that it doesn't encourage questioning things, instead it pushes memorization of "facts". So many of those facts don't always turn out to be correct and get passed along way to long, before some one actually questions the fact and then sets about to see if it is correct or not.
The thing I have discovered about myself has been to trust my senses and question things more often than I have in the past. It has opened a whole new world for me, the things that I have learned in the last 15 years of my life have completely changed the way I look at things.
Thanks for sharing your story with us and I look forward to the series.

Haha, yeah personal schematics would be wonderful to have access to wouldn't they? Eventually the diligent among us do the wire tracing and figure it out themselves but a shortcut would be nice.

The more I learn about how the world works, the more I question everything. Since joining this platform I've really had my eyes opened. I would say I have more of a Libertarian slant politically than I ever have. This last Presidential election especially left me disgusted to the corruption on both sides of the aisle.

Can't wait for you to read (or listen to) that book Fingerprints....I'm 26 chapters in now and it's given me some missing pieces to the puzzle of humanity's history that make a ton of sense. I won't say any more but after you read it for yourself we'll have to compare notes.

Thanks for your comment!

We will do that on the book, I have about another week left in the book I am currently reading, but I think I will get Fingerprints in the audio book.
I find myself as truly an independent politically, but if I had to align myself with a party it would have to be the Libertarian party.
But as we both know, party politics is just meant to be a distraction, we don't elect a president, the electoral college does and you can bet your last dime that the people who run the country (bankers) get who they want elected when they want them elected.
It is just a lot less people that they have to buy off in order to get their way, and that was done by design by the Crown in England. They played a bigger part in our "freedom" them most people will ever realize and it wasn't a good part.

I've never agreed with the electoral college system. I'd like to hear more about England's role in influencing it!

I will find a time to work it in, I am sure others might be interested also if they had an idea that might be the case.

Can't wait to read it! Have a good Wednesday my friend.

You too. I got the book and started listening yesterday.

Thanks. Great! It starts off slow, I'll warn you, and is repetitive in spots throughout. I think the author does this by design though...so it all sinks in.
