Re: Charlie, why won't you answer this question?
Sounding like you, especially the lucid and well-grounded MtW that you are lately, is a compliment to me

Aww.. shucks folks I'm speechless. *kicks dirt*

Most people never realize the full extent to which our perception and thinking is shaped by inherent assumptions and explicit instructions received in our upbringing
​
Excellent point. I read about memes and the effects they can have on the young mind. Fertile soil for weeds. I think also it can be hard to recognize the "outside" objective refutations of one's own position. The more one educates one's self, and accepts an educational refutation of one's own position, the more it can get easier to recognize memes, IMHO.
​
Formerly, I regarded my arguments in an absolute context, and I would not allow anyone to refute me, otherwise that would, to my mind, put my faith in jeapordy.
​
Don't know if I spelt jeapordy correctly, which might spoil my text. *Frustration*.
