Watch Out For People Who Think It's

I Believe That Our Society's "mistake-phobia" Is Crippling, A Problem That Begins In Most Elementary Schools, Where We Learn To Learn What We Are Taught Rather Than To Form Our Own Goals And To Figure Out How To Achieve Them. We Are Fed With Facts And Tested And Those Who Make The Fewest Mistakes Are Considered To Be The Smart Ones, So We Learn That It Is Embarrassing To Not Know And To Make Mistakes. Our Education System Spends Virtually No Time On How To Learn From Mistakes, Yet This Is Critical To Real Learning.

Some People Seek To Understand, And Some People Seek To Portray What They Want To Portray.

Nature Is A Machine. The Family Is A Machine. The Life Cycle Is Like A Machine.

I Believe That Understanding What Is Good Is Obtained By Looking At The Way The World Works And Figuring Out How To Operate In Harmony With It To Help It Evolve.

I Have Found That By Looking At What Is Rewarded And Punished, And Why, Universally - I.e., In Nature As Well As In Humanity - I Have Been Able To Learn More About What Is "good" And "bad" Than By Listening To Most People's Views About Good And Bad.
