25 things....

Feb 21, 2009 21:57

I got tagged a few times, but I don't like forcing memes on people. Sorry for not lj-cutting this, but it's going to facebook ... anyway, maybe you will learn something about me from this ( Read more... )

I can think of one thing you don't know about me. It's fairly recent, though. Significant. Warranting a randomly misplaced comment (and probably more).

And I can trust you to interpret the what, and probably the why. You clever you.

I can think of two possibilities, but I think I am going with the one that would require less heroic efforts on your part. Congrats?

The question mark is appropriate.

Re:24 : I take it that you would define "wisdom" as the accumulation of information/learning?

finneco February 22 2009, 13:17:11 UTC

Wisdom includes the insights derived from the accumulation of information and learning, but I wouldn't restrict it to such. Here I mean to use it as understanding derived from experience.

I asked this only because it's on my mind; the definition of "wisdom" is one of the main topics in a course I'm taking.

Re: your number 24, I find I'm similar, although I phrase it differently. I often feel that I'd rather be right than liked. When I say that I don't mean that I'd rather *think* I'm right, or that I'll insist that the thing I believe is right, but rather that it's very important to me that I only believe things if they're actually true, and I'll insist on figuring out if that's the case by following others' claims to their logical conclusions to test them, or bringing all evidence available to bear, even if other people don't like that.

I'll also often refuse to participate in purely speculatory discussion, much to some people's annoyance (this drives Dave crazy). It's just that I'd much rather remember that I don't know the answer and wait until I have evidence than try to make up an answer to a purely empirical question.

#4: I can move my scalp back and forth; can you?

finneco February 23 2009, 05:49:19 UTC

yes, though my ears or eye brows move with the motion, depending on which muscle group I am working with.
