Multi-Tasking with GG

... & Sir Lancelot.  Reading
INTELLECTUALS AND SOCIETY

by Thomas Sowell
Basic Books 2009
Dexter W. Hess shared his thoughts with the Monday Evening Club on March 26, 2012.
     From an early age smart people are constantly reminded of their intelligence and grow up tending to have an inflated sense of their own wisdom and importance to society. Intellectuals, like most of us, have a mixture of knowledge that is earned through rigorous exploration (learning) and complete in some areas with a mass of unverified notions in other areas. Notions are simply ideas that haven't been tested or verified, or that we carry as generalized conceptions.
     Intellectuals often have visions of how the world should be. They often share or propose their visions to the rest of us who buy into them. Listed below are some present day social changes that have resulted from such visions....  
     Although we pride ourselves on our republican form of government – directed and controlled by three branches, the President, the Congress and the Supreme Court, each counter-balancing the power of the others and ultimately answering to a democratic vote of “We, the people” – in actual fact, we are governed by a multitude of overlapping and frequently contradictory bureaucracies not subject to any control by the citizenry.

'Tis the Ides of Another Month!

Do they really go faster as we get older?  The days, weeks, months, even years seem to fly by for us old folks.  No, this is not because the pace of life has increased in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries. Tempus fugit because each moment occupies a smaller portion of the whole of the life we have lived -- creating an illusion.

Our Journey ToGetHer

... so that she could "Return Home" began in Rome where HIStory took on a new dimension with remembrances of family that US dex has shared with Ruth and John here with R'SON.  In CoffeePlace@RaibowWay.org we discussed how to set up The Correspondent pages.

Puzzling, he said, "I haven't put a face on A... yet."  IT took but a moment for him to remember.
