salyavin, here's the url which I previously forgot to post: http://www.dailygood.org/story/478/35-scientific-concepts-that-will-help-you-understand-the-world-aimee-groth/
to both salyvain and Emily: I think my favorites, but there are so many wonderful concepts that *constraint satisfaction* is happening (-: I love: Positive sum games which is basically win win; and Pessimism meta induction which says that all of our current scientific theories will be proved wrong some day. This is based on what's happened to past theories. Emily, if participating on FFL isn't seeking out someone who doesn't see the world the way that I do, then I don't know what is. Now referring to your other post about the doc on nuclear, is there an election going on? Why should I vote at this point in time? In fact aren't I now doing what you suggest I do in this post, that is, entertain other points of view?! ________________________________ From: emilymae.reyn <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 5, 2013 9:48 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: esp for salyavin, 35 Scientific Concepts That Will Help You Understand Life Dear Share, which on this list would you like to present to the forum for discussion? What do you think of the idea of you choosing the concept from your list and outlining your views on it and why you have them? "Make an effort to seek out somebody who doesn't see the world the way you do, and strike up a meaningful conversation with them.
