Finished finals yesterday… & the trend continues. In STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) 20+ years ago “critical thinking” was the educational “issue du jour”. Then it slipped off the radar, replaced w/ classroom student initiated group-think (having students teach one another in small break-out groups). I find it a waste of precious classroom time, nothing more than a failed social experiment. I get called out by my peers for not implementing it often enough. Calif (once the leader in STEM ed) has suffered heavy damage, slipping from one of the highest to mediocre national ranking, particularly in math. If you think about it this group-think trend has invaded all areas of our culture. We are fast losing our super-power of individual reasoning, led by well-planned propaganda & the drive to be socially accepted.
I say: RESIST. Cling to your own conclusions. “This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man”.
The next time you eat a banana, don’t throw out the peel. The vitamins within the peel has many benefits for our teeth, lips, and bags under our eyes. Bananas themselves contain nutrients such as potassium, magnesium, and manganese, all of which contribute directly to a white smile and your overall health.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with mathematician, author, and theologian Dr. John Lennox. They discuss the axioms and dangerous aims of transhumanism, the interplay between ethical faith, reason, and the empirical world that makes up the scientific endeavor, and the line between luciferian intellectual presumption and wise courageous exploration.
Dr. John Carson Lennox is a Northern Irish mathematician, bioethicist, and Christian apologist. He has written several books, and was a professor at Oxford and Green Templeton College (Now retired) where he specialized in group theory. Lennox appeared in numerous debates with questions ranging from “Is God Good” to “Is There a God,” and faced off with academic titans such as Richard Dawkins, Michael Shermer, and Christopher Hitchens, among others. Lennox speaks four languages – English, German, French, and Russian, has written 70 peer-reviewed articles on mathematics, co-authored two Oxford Mathematical Monographs, and was noted for his role in translating Russian mathematics while working as a professor.
