The list below is written by David Gould. I'd like to know your thoughts about it. Is it true? Do you agree with the different points or disagree? Would you like to change the order in the list? Do you think this affects what people in law enforcement think, or are they trained to look beyond it? How about other lines of work where people judge the situation based on what they are told? Other thoughts? Opinions?

1) You tend to believe most strongly that which you hear first.

2) If you change, it will most likely be to that which you hear repeated many times.

3) You next tend to believe that which you want to believe or that which fits your already conceived ideas or notions.

4) Lastly, humans are least likely to believe that which is logical and makes sense, especially if it contradicts what they hear most!

PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER TO ANSWER IF YOU WERE NOT BORN BLIND, OR WERE BORN BLIND AND THEN GAINED SIGHT. (And please state if you were at the beginning of your answer...because I will categorically ignore you if you don't qualify.)

I understand that some people who are born blind can, through modern technology, gain the ability to see.

If they can gain the ability to see later in life, it would suggest that their brain was capable of receiving SOME kind of visual stimulus beforehand (indicating that the problem was in their eyes, not their brains' synapses).

So can any people who ARE BLIND NOW or WERE BLIND AND HAVE RECOVERED tell me if they experienced colors before they gained their sight in dreams or in LSD trips (and simply didn't recognize it)?

Please explain your overview on Aristotle's view on virtue as he characterized it as " a disposition, or habit, involving deliberate purpose or choice, consisting in a mean that is relative to ourselves, the mean being determined by reason, or as prudent man would determine it."

Thank you for sharing your brilliant ideas.

This thought makes my mind explode...:) Just can't imagine how is it that it goes and goes and goes and never ends? Who said that it never ends? I guess, the one who also doesn't know it for sure:) There just must be something beyond it! It is easier to think like this... What is your opinion? What's there?

In Plato's view of good and evil, he believed that man may live a JUST life- the highest good for man, even if he is held down by the body and that body remains in a world of changing shadows of real things. To Him anything that is spontaneously changing is evil.
He then held that this can be achieved (just/good life) if the rational part of man (reason) will take control over these two more parts consisting a man.
What are these two more parts, besides reason that consist man according to Plato? And what are their functions?

Thank you for your time in sharing your intelligible ideas.

Do you think that the search for more information moves us closer to ourselves (such as extended knowledge of biology or psychology providing a better understanding of the human, and physics providing a better understanding of our context),
or do we get too involved in the seeking itself and lose focus, moving further and further away from ourselves along the path?

The paradox of the Filipino finds a beautiful parable in the ways of the bamboo. A pliant, graceful and weak looking tree, the bamboo, in its seeming weakness and pliancy, shows its very strength against all the typhoons that threaten to batter and uproot it. In bending to and giving way to the winds, it asserts its stand and resistance, in submitting and surrendering to the typhoons, it survives and overcomes.

His face is turned toward the past... But a storm is blowing from paradise... This storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress.

have liked to have met and maybe have fallen in love with, but were a generation or more removed from. Maude Gonne fascinates me, as she did W.B. Yeats. I have always found strong rebellious women interesting.

Each one has to think definitely about himself/herself and ever ready to gain the world knowledge by reading books and the experiences one face in their own life will definitely guide every moment. The woman or man must feel that they are equal like two faces are to a coin for its worth and movement in everyone's life with understanding will make fit to achieve something in individual life without any doubt.
