Flawless Thinking

I cannot find flaws in my thinking.
Maybe there are none.
Maybe your thinking is flawless at this stage yet subject to further development. Thinking is how we consciously process data and the outcome depends, in part, on the data base. The more we know, the more refined our judgments may become. I expect you will, in time, come upon data which your thinking cannot satisfactorily processs. This can be upsetting and may result in an evolution of how you think.
We grow and change and hopefully get wise.
Enjoy the omniscience of this moment.
There will be plenty opportunity to feel stupid.

The Un Learned

i don't feel that i've learned anything significant at all.
It was about ten years after graduation that I began to see the substance of my education and how my perspective on the world was different from that of the "huddled masses." Never made a lot of money, like the recruiters suggested I might, but did capture a feel for the world which those around me do not seem to have. Out in the real world, away from the hallowed, ivy covered halls of learning, you may find yourself in the minority,
  • a voice crying in the wilderness;
  • a light shining in darkness;
  • an onion in a petunia patch.
  • You will come to know what you have done, how your mind has been altered for the good.
    Let's hope you can cash in on that investment.
