On Liberty

"The most addictive thing on earth is not cocaine, meth, crack, narcotics, tobacco or nicotine, or any other chemical substance; it is raw political power and the ability to control the lives of our fellowman.  Those who crave it will do anything to get and keep it - they will rob, steal, kill, and destroy other people's lives.  There needs to be a citizen intervention, and a 12-step program for recovering politicians ..."

Lesson 14 - The Learning Process Print E-mail

Our actions tend to be based on those conclusions we have reached, which are confirmed (we believe) to be true to our thinking.

The facts an infant has to deal with are limitless. In fact, no one ever, in an entire life, will perceive all the facts in the universe.

Fortunately, it is not necessary that we know everything. However, it is necessary that the opinions we form be accurate ones, so that our actions will be realistic, rather than un-realistic, and out of harmony with the facts.

It can be clearly seen that the facts we observe are objective (real). We can also see that the final action taken will also be objective (real). The process by which the means of the individual mind are employed, from the act of perception, to the decision to act, is subjective. It depends entirely upon the individual involved.

If an individual fails to observe a rather important objective fact (in the physical world of reality), it could obviously be a serious and even fatal omission (such as failing to perceive the hungry tiger before jumping into an "empty" pit!).
