Exactly.
now that i have been a born again christian for 10 years, i see things that just boggles my mind.
like this: we all spent untold hours in the field service telling people (mostly christians) about the paradise earth.
that was the reason we were at their door.

The Rebel:
People with good powers of perception don't focus one one aspect of their observations. They don't take things at face value and base their conclusions on a vast array of information and try to form conclusions based purely on what they consider to be facts. A well trained soldier for example is taught to quickly observe his surroundings, evalute them and how his current situation relates to them, try to decide firstly what he does know for certain and then calculate all the plausible possibilities. Once he feels he has made an accurate evaluation as possible, he will plan his next move. It is not possible to be a great tactician without being skilled at perception. Fortunately people are able to be trained to be better at perception but it demands a lot of self-discipline.
Luminosity has a great app for training your brain, and getting yourself into good habits like forcing yourself to learn and ask questions, playing games of observation while just walking down the street or sitting in a restaurant, drawing conclusions then comparing them with the conclusions of others and learning how they arrived at theirs all teach you how to be perceptive.
So next time when the TV is on consider immersing yourself in a game of perception because it is a skill and a life tool you have to keep practicing. I know I need a lot of practice.

Perry:
And making decisions based strictly on feelings is unwise. As humans, limited in perception, we can EXPECT to be deceived, especially in our feelings.
over time a number of different 'classes' of members have arisen on this forum.

He won't. He prefers to only pay attention to claims which support his view. Like comparing 1970's science with superior updated science. Modern evidence and the causes for climate change are not a guessing game like his religion is. By far the volume of science supporting global warming and it's primary cause outweighs anything to the contrary. Do I think global warming will be the doom of the planet? I don't have the answer but I'm sure science will.
homo naledi has been added to our family tree but exactly where, is still to be discovered.
read more here.... over 1500 fossils making up 15 separate individuals have been discovered in a cave near johannesburg.
here are a few highlights of it's anatomy.... the skull was globular, like a member of our genus but the brain was small and primitive.
a former lebanese (christian) terrorist once told me a story (meant to be funny) about west asian politics.. a turtle was swimming past the shoreline of the red sea.
on the shore a scorpion calls out,"hey!
give me a lift over to the other side.
Xanthippe:
I think we have both agreed this is a complex situation and simplistic solutions will not fit the bill.
Absolutely. My hope is wide spread access to technology will eventually allow for better communication and understanding of facts which will slowly but surely corrode away idelogies, expose corruption and hold politicians hostage with knowledge.
