Ihave to contend with her parents. What I did do is give my grandson Rules for Argument. I’m advising develop an argument for alternative points of view as an intellectual exercise. My granddaughter will take a debate class this year. That should help.

Struggling with discipline. I want to read Babylon’s Banksters and Mind and Medium, however I am reading the books in order. Sigh. I’m just finishing The SS Brotherhood of the Bell. 😊
-
Here’s a compromise: read several books at the same time including B.B. !

The name of the game is analogy and not chronology 🙂

Wish I could ‘double like’ your comment 🙂

Yes, reading several books simultaneously is an excellent strategy for acquiring the skill of “connecting the dots” by osmosis. 🙂
-
Ditto. I’m reading Wall St &FDR, War and Society in Renaissance History and The South China Sea at the moment.

My granddaughter asked me if I had any ‘informational’ books she could read for school. I figured out, she meant non-fiction. Needless to say, I registered my objections to the term. It’s not easy helping our children/grandchildren navigate these times.
-
Start with Babylon’s Banksters. 🙂
-
If the teachers are worried she can always say that it is a “baby banking” manual which sounds more innocuous.

Debate class? There are a few books around on how to argue a case and to detect and counter false arguments (such as when people, instead of replying on what you say, reply with personal labelling (e.g. “if you say that it means that you are a…”)

Thanks for the tips folks.

Another resource or two to recommend … S. Morris Engel’s – With Good Reason. The earlier editions can be found very reasonably on Addall.com. The other would be An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments by Ali Alsomossawi. The latter here a kind of “graphic comic” introduction to the fallacies for those who have no background.
This might serve…[Read more]-
Yes, logical fallacies was the expression I wanted!
-
After one studies the Engel book it is truly startling to see how many of these fallacies are out there in “our everydayness” (Walker Percy’s term for the background of assumptions within which we operate and that we unknowingly absorb osmotically not from the original clear Aether but instead from its unclear replacement) in what we read and…[Read more]

I’ve had Beauregard a year now. He was a 5 month old rescue when I got him. If I’m reading he settles down nicely for half an hr. He gives me a short mmn ending on a higher note. That means ‘are you done?’ I can say, give me 5 min and he’ll ‘sigh’ his ok. Then in about 10, he’ll say mmmm in an up and down sing song tone. That means, ‘are you…[Read more]

Interesting. Books? Links? I’d like to know more. Thanks

This is an ongoing development that changes day by day, there is occasionally something on zerohedge. There is a lot on Italian social media such as twìtter (I personally post things with hashtags such as #Libia #Macron). The latest issue of the British magazine “The Spectator” has a cover showing Macron and Salvini. Look up the mineral resources…[Read more]

I find it interesting that this news made its way to center stage on RT. Note, ‘straight line winds’ are thought to have caused the crash. https://www.rt.com/usa/436671-police-helicopter-crash-arkansas/

Whats’s really going on here? Is this natural? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6089189/Pod-heroic-dolphins-filmed-defending-humpback-calf-Sunny-five-male-whales.html

Does it sound suspicious to you? Maybe there was some experiment going on and reported as something natural? Certainly the film crew was at the right place at the right time.

I quit using this site because it forces an ok re cookies. Maybe this makes no sense. Should I look at it as, ‘at least they ask, everybody else just does it?’

What exactly is Apple’s relationship to China now?
Per Alex Jones: Apple gave the keys to the codes to China.

Wow! Good catch. Joseph has said, with release of new sci, extreme transparency would be needed. As I’ve pondered that I’ve thought; so is the price of the new sci extreme transparency that applies to all? We get surveilled, we get to surveil? Not sure if this applies, I thought blockchain was to ensure privacy but this seems to suggest, it…[Read more]

I suppose it’s possible that neither sales pitch is completely accurate.

I heard from a source that’s usually right, Apple accepted Chinese deal; no taxes in exchange for 51% ownership by Chinese state. I haven’t been able to track to confirm. Has anybody heard this? Is anybody tracking which US companies take the Deal?
-
This type of deal could not be kept secret, but here is a brief comment on the Chinese side to the corporation:

Hopefully you feel great! A great high often follows on the heels of accomplishment. I’m working my way through your books in the order they were written but, I cheat and read each new one as it comes out. I am learning a lot about education (not to mention other things) as I track your work; this despite years of college teaching. Oh well,…[Read more]
