Lost knowledge!

Post by HexHammer »

I see many cozy chatters do very weird things over the years, some of the basic folly is debating with kuku people who will not comprehend very simple things, and therefore the time is wasted on them, and they'r best put on ignore.

Knowledge are best gained by selfstudy, as no one usually can memorize long texts 100%, there is always a decay of information, or we comprehend a text wrongly, etc.
But at the same time it's good to have a discussion to get inspired to study new areas of life which has been hidden from our sight.

It's often a sign of lack of rationallity to ask the same questions over and over, what is free will, what is conciousness, what is truth, etc, etc.
These cozy chatters will never do a simple study or think logically to research and find the answers from professors and scientists, from relevant experiments, instead they ask glaringly ignorent people in hope of finding some truth by cozy chat ....................PURE IDIOCY!!!!!

I read an article here on PN, it was some antropologists babbeling about something irrelevant, it was glaringly obvious that he didn't understand very basic psychology, and therefore jumped to medival conclusions.
All human behaviour are determined by psychology, and therefore if antropology should have a bit more relevance they shold include psychology in their education!

Often school education seems very outdated, and we are taught irrelevant things that only 1% or less will ever use, we should learn about more everyday things, like how to read and comprehend a simple contract.

Learn how to deal with constructive critisism, some just can't handle ANY critisism at all!

Learn not to jump to conclusions and make sound rational conclusions, learn how to value things.

Philosophy is often about discussing the simple things because those things are what people take the most for granted.

Despite your aggressiveness I tend to agree. Though these are certainly not simple things or simple questions, so if you try to link it to your above text you are wrong. I personally prefer calling them ancient, in the negative meaning of the word... out of date, useless dead-ends of the past... etc. They are simply uninteresting questions, except the last question which is an essential question in philosophy of science, as it explores details of our assumptions and corrects for errors in the beliefs of our own scientific efforts, in fact, in a way all of science is a way of answering that question, and always when a new science appears (like chaos theory and how it rebrands the meaning of adding together series of numbers or expressions) we get to add another expanded meaning of what truth is.

Those are however child questions to the parent question of what truth is, and so what truth is, is not the question we can finally ask ourselves, it just the beginning of any series of questions in a parent-child hierarchy slowly but surely developing.

This is completely wrong. While there may be things we never or seldom utilize, virtually everything that you learn in child and youth school will sometime be of great aid to you. And if you want to know whether science in school is of aid to a person going to become a hairdresser most of her life, then remember that if she didn't learn science, she'd never have the chance to get a different job. Many of the things you learn in child and youth school are preparing you for a diverse world and giving you the flexibility to adapt towards it, and providing a narrower gap between people of different kinds.
