The RNC Says Its Christmas Message About a ‘New King’ Referred to Jesus, Not Donald Trump


Alan: All the chatter about "real Americans" and "patriotism" is a cover to get back to mindless "following" of an autocratic alpha dog, making it unnecessary to do any of Democracy's real work - most of it by way of learning, and within the domain of learning how to use intellectual rigor to distinguish between truth and falsehood rather than worshipping one's idiocy.

There are two ways of lying, as there are two ways of deceiving customers. If the scale registers 15 ounces, you can say: "It's a pound." Your lie will remain relative to an invariable measure of the true. If customers check it, they can see that they are being robbed, and you know by how much you are robbing them: a truth remains as a judge between you. But if the demon induces you to tamper with the scale itself, it is the criterion of the true which is denatured, there is no longer any possible control. And little by little you will forget that you are cheating.

"Frog Hospital" and "Pax" On The Relationship Between Wisdom-Kindness And Making Mistakes

Image result for mistakes
Dear Fred,

I just stumbled on your correspondence from November, 2011, and I am struck by your insight concerning God's kindness, wisdom and the relationship between these qualities and "letting us make mistakes."

What's God got to do with it?

I don't agree with this opinion.  I don't know if we trust God, but I think He trusts us. Maybe God has the kindness and wisdom to let us make our own mistakes.

***

I will note that the pursuit of science is mostly the process of determining by putting "things" to the test what does not "work."

We get at the truth by probing what's false.

Even St. Paul -- who, like all of us, could be a jerk -- said "test everything: hold fast what is good."

I hope your Christmas was happy and that The Spirit lasts through twelfth night.

Pax

Alan

Donald Trump And Brown University Professor's Rule #7 For Succeeding In Graduate School

7. Always say “thank you.” And always be “nice.” Until, of course, it is time not to be nice. Insisting on politeness—at least at first—isn’t about suppressing dissent. It is about recognizing that no one wins in the long term when everyone starts every conversation by shouting. Anger only nets short-term gain and inhibits long-term goals.
