@JRoland_ Do you think they will dilute at earnings? Could bad earnings kill the momentum?

@JRoland_ You really think the heggies can't control this through synthetics, XRT, all that stuff?

This video created by psychological professor Richard Wiseman demonstrates the power of perspective in creating illusions. It's titled Assumptions.

@oldbooksguy Dude Aquinas and Augustine were geniuses. True Aquinas had to battle some to make Aristotle acceptable but he was not egotistical nor did have to "fight orthodoxy". If this is the conclusion it's rather juvenile.

One reason many people are not yet excited by the rapidity growing world of educational alternatives is because most students attend public schools. Yes, for now, but it is only 3 of 4. In many cities and states, less than half. In 10 more years, fewer than will 50% nationally.

“It is the Christian tradition that is the most fundamental element in Western culture. It lies at the base not only of Western religion, but also of Western morals and Western social idealism.”

[delio @davedelio1]

Education begins in phronesis. Phronesis is a Greek word that emerges from "that which surrounds the heart". It is knowing from the core of our body and being. Its principles properly belong to contingent knowledge - knowledge that may or may not be (Aristotle, N. Ethics 6).

[delio @davedelio1]

Education is not the imposition of form from without. That rendering is a defiance of the origins of the word (ex ducere) - to lead forth - to bring forth from within the person. Education is the coaxing forth through language and question and image and modeling.

[Archie Goodwin @ArchieG1946]

“The pressure on language to deteriorate does not come merely from below, from the ‘democratic’ levelers. It comes also from above, from the fancy jargonmongers, idle game players, fashionable coteries for second-rate intellectuals.”

—John Simon

[St. Thomas Aquinas @Aquinas_Quotes]

We receive Christ by love and contemplation after servile fear has been taken out of our hearts: “I stand at the door and knock. If any one opens it for me, I will enter” (Rv 3:20).

[St. Thomas Aquinas @Aquinas_Quotes]

Disordered self-love is the cause of every sin (ST 1-2.77.4).

[Mark W. @DurhamWASP]

“For children are innocent and love justice, while most of us are wicked and naturally prefer mercy.”

G.K. Chesterton

[delio @davedelio1]

@oldbooksguy I mean a cursory glance at history reveals little adventure for the great portion of humankind. An everyday search for sustenance being tied to a farm or craft and hovel or after 1830 a factory or bureaucracy. About whom are you referring?

[St. Thomas Aquinas @Aquinas_Quotes]

Excess sadness is a disease of the mind, but mild sadness is the mark of a well-conditioned mind, according to the present state of life (ST 1-2 59.3ad3).

January 6: "He who wishes for anything but Christ, does not know what he wishes; he who asks for anything but Christ, does not know what he is asking; he who works, and not for Christ, does not know what he is doing."
