Stephen Hawking's misleading science

"Stephen Hawking's Universe" on Discovery Channel is worse than science fiction, because it suggests itself as more scientific, and its sophisticated graphics creates in the minds of most viewers "realities" about as certain as what is written in the book of Genesis.

Misgressions in Moscow: high school cheating, continues

another time hearing from a parent how the entire 9th grade class cheated on their final exams. now using their smart phones, either on them or in the restroom.
the teachers need good grades.
this is excellent training on how getting around the system, by avoiding or ignoring the rules, is the way to get ahead. another example of the misgressions in post-Soviet Moscow, still in 2013.

well-traveled in the worlds of ideas?

as there is geography, so there could be an ideography, a kind of world of ideas, mapped as it were, in which one travels, explores, become an experiential traveler, even a guide. not the physical world, but that of ideas conceived as a single, unified world.

Schleiermacher's "theology" is one single example of how "theology", even at its most sincere and/or earnest, is in reality biography -- revealing itself in relation to "God" and within his time and tradition.

history of the psychology of theologian's presumptions

a history of the psychology of theologians (and related philosophers) should be written, focusing on the varied ways, in their minds, times and climes, they presumed to be able to think, write and speak of "God".

theology as sleepwriting, somnscribing

"theology" seems to have been done in a kind of dozing which was simply divine!

theology sub specie humanitatis

forty years study in the history of ideas...and years of travel and observation in various civilizational-culture traditions...

most men and women are, mainly unawares, just "hanging out", whether in theology, philosophy, science, bowling alleys or bars.

the problem with anthroposophists and Jungians

the decisive problem with most anthroposophists is that they only understand the world via anthroposophy, rather than anthroposophy via the world.
but the Jungians tend to be worse, they imagine they are the world.
