Dan: I see... I've never read Haidt so I googled him... what I've seen hasn't impressed me but perhaps I need to read the book you suggest, although I must say, the title doesn't engender much confidence that I'll find anything of value there. >Ian: > His language in a popular targetted book is indeed simplistic, but I see more > depth. > > In your main point - I guess I have to ask you, how does a person who > believes (feels) they know distinguish between doing and trying to do ? Dan: I recently watched a wonderful interview with Carl Jung where he talked about the difference between believing something and knowing something... if you're interested, it is found at: http://www.openculture.com/2011/06/carl_gustave_jung_talks_about_death_he_died_50_years_ago_today.html Anyway, I suspect he's saying the same thing as Marsha. Don't try to do something and do not believe in anything. Do it. Know it. So I see your question as starting at a point of weakness... relying on the faith in belief rather than upon the hard rock of knowing. If a person believes they know something, they don't. And if they know something, there is no reason to believe.
