the teacher and the pupil
They both are still learning. Well they should be anyways. They will decide themselves when they limit themselves. Nevertheless, if they do limit themselves they wouldn't be wise or knowledgeable. We could use you as another example. You are teaching but you are still learning, correct? The only difference between the two is the functions of the brain we use. Yes, there is a different description for each and how we define the two terms, but if you have to be knowledgeable to be wise and wise is considered knowledgeable, what is the difference, other than how we define them?
Burned?
I would say so. If you love somebody, or care about somebody very much, it would hurt to. Not a physical hurt of course, but just knowing that they are in pain. I can honestly say I have felt pain of some sort for someone that was hurting.
I somewhat agree
I agree with you somewhat Doc. I wouldn’t want a surgeon reading surgery for dummies when he is extracting my gull bladder. I think it goes along with the individual’s profession as well. A lawyer for example is not going to know every single city, county, state law that was written. That is why they prepare for cases with intent studies. I guess I can agree with you as well when you said memorization is good for the mind and that there is no mutal understanding in this forum :-).

The reason I ask this, is because the government pays farmers not to farm. We spend over 1 billion dollars to pay people not to farm. I do understand the economics of this. But why couldn't we pay them TOO farm, and donate the crops to charities that need food. It never hits the market to cause inflation because it bypasses the market by donating it. People are fed and "happy". But this goes back to my recent posting. Feed people and stimualte the population, which would result in the need for more housing and more food, or is this simply a way of population control?
...
you forgot to say something cool like "medulla oblongata". Try and say it 3 x's fast :-).
sorry
I didn't mean it the way it sounds. That came across kinda offensive. Sorry Thai Sean.
forbidden Knowledge
I highly suggest the book "Forbidden Knowledge: From Prometheus to Pornography " by Roger Shattuck. i think you will like it.
no sub-conscious?
Something tells me, Thai Sean, that you are either choosing to misinterpret the post or are taking it some place that wasn’t intended. I am taking your post as the position that you believe the sub-conscious mind, and its function, doesn’t exist? I am also taking from your post that you don’t believe that you learn something everyday by experiences, reading, speaking, etc.? Apparently, you didn’t grasp what I was saying, much like I did with your German(?) at the end of your post. No Offense. To sum up my original answer, you are constantly thinking sub-consciously, whether you believe it or not. Genetics play a huge role in much of learned behavior and sub-conscious thought. I wish I could keep writing about this till I knew you understood the view I am coming from Thai Sean. But to be very blatant, if you think that a sub-conscious doesn’t exist, then that is an issue in itself. You do not re-write your DNA. The DNA re-writes us. Cancer is an example. We all have the cancer gene. If, heaven forbid, we experience cancer, our DNA just re-wrote who we are. Through this experience, we sub-consciously learned new personality traits. With this, our thinking has changed because of our experience and knowledge learned from battling cancer. This, Thai Sean, is just one of many examples of how we are an accumulation of genetics and experience.
Comment
So was the light bald and stem cell research. Please don't misinterpret that I am comparing myself to anyone of them. But sometimes things can be better explained by stepping outside the box and looking from the outside in, instead from the inside out. I guess in other words, I prefer finding out how the machine runs all together, before I learn what makes the machine run.
