   This is great stuff Dr. Spirit. I feel like I should be paying tuition when I read your writings(and those of several other Dr.’s on this blog). What the Admin says is certainly true- “You learn more here by design than other places by accident”. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next installment.

   Indeed, “You cannot have too much of a correct theory”… This is a great start to a lesson we all could learn from. I too eagerly await forthcoming parts. Also, and might I be so bold as to add, beliefs are continually tested in the crucible of life, the marketplace of ideas. Facts will, as they become discovered, either chip away at a belief and eventually render it false or they will add to its merit. Facts, combined with experience (time tested), lead to the ability to apply logical arguments. A is A, a rock is itself, things cannot be both a rock and a tree – the notion that there is an objective reality. The application of logical argumentation starts with a premise – the logical argument to support that premise then follows. If the logical argument is flawed, so too is the premise – at least based upon that line of reasoning (logic) presented. It may not mean the premise is necessarily flawed, but it is with regard to the line of thought being analyzed.. Then we have laws. This is tricky because we have constitutory law, moral law, and scientific law. But I will leave those for another day!
