The ancient 𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙪𝙢, which was once the basis of education, encompasses: 𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙧, 𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙘, 𝙧𝙝𝙚𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙘.

logic = the art of correct thinking
grammar = the art of correct understanding what is said
rhetoric = the art of correct communication
If you master this one book, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙪𝙢, you will be about ½ of the way to being an educated human being. And without this half, you won’t be able to master the other half.

Anyone who speaks or writes or reads English needs an excellent English grammar. This one remains the best general grammar known to me and I recommend everyone have one:
b-ok.cc/book/2753706/5…
Of course, if you really want an overkill grammar, you can get this too:
b-ok.cc/book/3643222/b…

Downloading a free PDF is probably better than paying $325 for it, as I did in 2006. It was a self-birthday present, because that’s the kind of thing I get me.
But it really is overkill. There are very few grammatical issues that George Curme can’t clear up for you.

It is also a very good read, for a grammar. I mean, it’s not a fast-paced novel, but it is hands down more pleasant to read than 99% of textbooks.

Speaking as a philosopher myself, I propose instead of “beyond the pale,” the standard of Socrates: some beliefs, he said, were “tied down by bands of iron and adamant”—that is, he could not imagine a case where they would be refuted—but he would listen.

@BenjaminABoyce
@BenjaminABoyce I can see value in all these things.

∙ "Adults having sex with children.”

Seeing the arguments could clarify errors in argument we otherwise accept, if it should turn out they seem to work. This is not uncommon in philosophy.
@BenjaminABoyce For example, there have been numerous arguments for the moral permissibility of abortion that end up working for infanticide as well.

This seems to be good ground to REJECT those arguments.

What Was the Enlightenment? via @YouTube
Found something I disagree with Bishop Barron about. He classifies Hegel as an Enlightenment thinker. I would not. 😆
“In the ancient world, the breakthrough of philosophy was in fact a movement of the Holy Spirit.”

And now we’re back in sync.

This is the second time today I’ve had to address this particular sophist. I’ll boil it down:

1 “We,” that is, humans, do not have access to the ultimate

2 I, a human, in direct contradiction to 1, have sufficient access to the ultimate to know with absolute certainty that 1
When skeptics make this line of argument, @HPluckrose, they seem not to be aware that they are making epistemological claims as vast as those of any theologian or metaphysician.

They seem to think they are being “humble” when they declare universal ignorance, but this is false.
@HPluckrose The skeptic who declares that “we can’t know” is being no less dogmatic or sweeping in her claims than the metaphysician who declares we can know. Both are metaphysicians, making universal claims about the nature of Being.

Both are epistemologically in the same boat.

Educate, Agitate, Organise -கற்பி, கிளர்ந்தெழு, அமைப்பாய் திரள் என்பது அம்பேத்கர் கூற்று.

கல்வி சிந்திக்க வைக்கும், சிந்தனை பகுத்தறியத் தூண்டும். இதன் விளைவாக 1/N
நல்லதை ஏற்றுக்கொள்ளவும், தீயதை நிராகரிக்கவும் மக்கள் முற்படுவார்கள்.
சமூக அநீதிகளை கண்டு கிளர்ந்தெழுவார்கள், அக்கிளர்ச்சி ஒருவரை தத்துவ தேடலுக்கு இட்டு செல்லும், அத்தத்துவம் அமைப்பாய் திரள வர்க்கப்பார்வையை தரும்.
அதன் அடிப்படையில் நடக்கும் போராட்டங்களே சமூக விடுதலைக்கான, சமத்துவ வாழ்விற்கான தீர்வை தரும்.

2014-2019 வரை இந்தியாவில் கல்வி என்பது சந்தை பொருளாக உள்ளது. சந்தையில் கல்வி ஒரு விற்பனை பொருள் அதாவது சரக்கு. அதை பெற வருவோர் நுகர்வோர்.

#Ancient Indian narratives of King Shibi, Dove & Falcon have deeper meaning than mere historical events of the so-called past. Meaning is vast, manifold & beyond the ordinary 5/senses. It's cosmically woven in the fabric of time, macro & micro, & let me clarify it to some extent.
Strength (Boaz/Black), Waxing moon, Feminine (not gender specifics), Wisdom, Kavi (Hymns/Arts), Structured/Emotions & ancient-Indian/centered-religion & the likes is generally attributed to the right-brain, & left nostril/Ida, which is ruled over by the Moon. Pingala (Sun, +) is
Beauty (Jachin/White, Logic, Science-Math), right-nostril & left-brain, & ruled over by the Sun, which is one of the functional malefic-planets, along w/Mars, Saturn & Rahu-Ketu (only retrograde). Don't think of "Malefic" as yours mere conveniences of "good" & "bad" standards!!

Peace, blessing & mercy of Allah be upon you & your beloveds.

1️⃣ Let’s discuss the absolute necessity of the existence of The Creator.

✅ The argument of the existence of The Creator is so simple that even your kids would get it easily by simple #Logic.

#ThinkArabian
2️⃣ Consider this thread as well as other threads of mine as practical exercise. Belief in Allah strengthens mental health capabilities. The kind of exercise we think through in these threads increases IQ.

#ThinkArabian
3️⃣ I’ve mentioned before that intelligence and stupidity are not genetic. They are the result of the accumulation of logical or illogical ideas and decisions.

Thread on being told we must policing our language skillz or it will cost us our voice.

A huge discussion broke out on the Idle No More OFFICIAL Facebook page today. An 'Ally' decided it was finally time to let us all know that after reading our comments on that page, ...2/
...it was time we heard that unless we start learning how to employ proper English most of our allies will simply, summarily dismiss our efforts. He really felt he was doing us a favor.

When he received the pushback he so earned, the number of other 'allies' on that page .../3
... who apparently feel the same way, chirped up in support & also advised us this was not racist in any way - just a fact of life. It was clear they honestly believed that, & they clung to conclusion despite some pretty clear education from those of us who are aware of ...4/

#OSHO

#Intelligence is a response to a new situation, not out of your past memories but from your present awareness, this very moment.

Intelligence is a spontaneous #responsibility. It has been misunderstood. It has become almost equivalent to #duty. The #reality is different.
There has been a perennial conflict between #intelligence and #intellect.

The man of intellect thinks that he is #intelligent because he knows so much. He has accumulated a great heritage of #knowledge, he is burdened with all kinds of #information.
The man of #intelligence is innocent; he functions moment to moment, his functioning has a freshness and a beauty. But to find intelligence one has to go beyond the mind. #Meditation is the way.
