Night two of being unable to sleep easily. I did have some caffeine in the late afternoon / early evening but it’s probably just moving stress.

Chamomile tea (No caffeine) will relax you at night and help you sleep. I give it to Mrs. Mafia whenever she has decided to not take her anxiety medicine anymore. Always works. Last edited by spcmafia; 03-16-2021 at 09:54 AM. |

My conspiracy theory is that the A.I. gods are trying to seperate us all so that we can only communicate online. This way they can manipulate all communication.

Please be careful with the breadth of the brush you use to paint "educated" people. And try to be a little more specific about the definition of "educated." I admit I probably fit most of those definitions and freely admit that a fair number of my colleagues were and remain pretty insufferable. No doubt, many of them would say the same thing about me. That said, some of us are not that bad.
My big problem with some to many in the "un-educated" community is simple, uncritical ( let's call it "fuzzy") thinking. This leads to a greater vulnerability to being taken in by hucksters and bullshit artists than their more educated fellows and then stampeded into bad decisions. Again, that, too is a broad brush, but critical thinking is 1) uniquely important in overcoming the organized disinformation campaigns that are endemic to complex societies and 2) difficult to master and practice. The odds are pretty heavily stacked against of any of us being able to retreat into the 19th century or the 12th or the 6th. We probably need to make the best of the world we live in and in my considered opinion, the more educated we are the more likely our species is to be around in the 23rd century.

The keys to critical thinking are, 1. insisting on clear definitions, 2. asking questions, 3. demanding answers, 4. listening to those answers and examining them for internal and external consistency, 5. examining your own thoughts and beliefs for flaws, internal and external consistency, 6. mental flexibility, 7. HEALTHY skepticism, 8. avoiding dogmatism, and a number of other things. Anyone can learn and practice these things. And as with all skills some are more gifted at it than are others. But, the key to my argument is that, done right (a big deal) formal education forces people to engage with, practice, and hopefully, hone those skills. It is my position that, although "education" is a requirement for critical thinking , formal education is not. It does, however, facilitate its development.

Talk about your lucky day. Safety chains from their camp trailer was the only thing that kept them from falling 100 feet.
