René Descartes
FRENCH MATHEMATICIAN AND PHILOSOPHER
BORN
March 31, 1596
La Haye, France
DIED
February 11, 1650 (aged 53)
Stockholm, Sweden
(Anniversary tomorrow)




1. Aristotle, Plato and Descartes are on a plane. The flight attendant comes by to take their drink orders. She asks Aristotle if he'd like a beverage. Aristotle says, "I'll have a ginger ale."
"And how about you, Mr. Plato?"
Plato says "Diet Coke, please."
She says, "and Mr. Descartes, anything to drink for you?"
Descartes says, "I think not," and disappears.



2. Rene Descartes postulated that, rather than a rapid seven day timeline, the sequence that resulted in the formation of the earth was far more eventful. 1637. Rene Descartes: Discours de la Methode. Descartes constructed a history of the Earth which was quite influential; it was the starting point for many later cosmogonies. Some of the main points of his system were that the Earth formed as a fiery ball, that when it cooled a crust formed over the abyssal waters, and that this crust collapsed, releasing massive volumes of water. Changing Views of the History of the Earth

a. Interestingly, Descartes continues to see the hand of God in the creation. In chapter six of Le Monde, he states that at the first instant of creation, God provides the parts with different properties, and after that He does not intervene supernaturally to regulate same. http://assets.cambridge.org/97805218/08972/sample/9780521808972ws.pdf

The reason for the first line?

Probably because it was the kind of nonsense we were taught in public schools when I was younger. Thankfully, the USSC saw the light and didn't make everyone bow to one sect's fairy tales anymore.

I strongly disagree with the religion being taught in the schools....Militant Secularism

….the belief that it is possible to fix the world by applying government pressure? That is not a belief that can be wholly validated by research or experience. In fact, research and experience both indicate that central planning usually makes life even more nasty, brutish, and short.

So what is this unfounded, undocumented, unprovable faith in government power to correct human psyches and behavior if not a religious (metaphysical) belief? It is also an unprovable and metaphysical belief about what a human is — a thing that can be “corrected” by politics and whose “error” is not intrinsic to itself. Again, these are all metaphysical, religious beliefs with no empirical basis or possibility of being fully empirically proven.

The secular, pagan, atheist types are the ones who claim religious assumptions are evil. They do so because they erroneously believe they are free from such assumptions. But in truth, no one is.”” Barr: The People Trying To 'Impose Their Values' Are 'Militant Secularists'





"The Left says of the Right, “You fools, it is demonstrable that dinosaurs lived one hundred million years ago, I can prove it to you, how can you say the earth was created in 4000BCE?” But this supposed intransigence on the part of the Religious Right is far less detrimental to the health of the body politic than the Left’s love affair with Marxism, Socialism, Racialism, the Command Economy, all of which have been proven via one hundred years of evidence shows only shortages, despotism and murder."

What do you want to talk about how dumb Seattle Schools are??

I think the social justice should be included in Stem courses, so how would any know that minorities have been discriminated against in the workplace and in schools. It will help minorities in my opinion and should move minorities along with whites to excel in stem courses.

Blacks and Hispanics are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and math jobs, relative to their presence in the overall U.S. workforce, particularly among workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher.

Racial diversity and discrimination in the U.S. STEM workforce

You conservatives really have a issue with social justice, I wonder why?

 

[Gdjjr]

To have faith in an entity, or a fairy tale, (see my first line above), proves only that people are inherently weak and want someone or something to deliver to them what they believe they can't achieve on their own. Happiness.
Political entities promise material reward. Religious entities promise after life reward. Both require faith in something that will not provide happiness. Happy is a decision. It is its own reward.
That speaks to improper education by, and to, those who have misplaced trust (faith).

You're gaslighting us by saying that scientific facts are some kind of religion. Religions are very resistant to change, while science demands change when new facts are uncovered.

In my experience, extremism for any cause, ideological, religious, etc. is an evil. Societies are complex, so to think there is only one solution to every problem is naive. The world needs both artists and scientists, atheists and popes, government and individuals, etc. Even communism, socialism, and capitalism have their roles to play in a balanced society.

'Science' caves in to political correctness nonsense all the time, so your premise is rubbish; 'science' is also for sale to anybody willing to pay a scientist to say whatever they want.

PC isn't really representative of conservatives, anyway, so responding to her posts as if they're serious is pointless; they belong in the Conspiratard Forum, actually, but she gets more attention here so she and her fellow cranks spam this Forum instead. Cuz, like, if you don't repeatedly explode her weirdo propaganda for the 1,230,988,964th time, it means no one ever did and she claims you can't. lol she has learned a lot form Democrats, obviously.

"I think the social justice should be included"
"Justice" require no modifier.


"I think the social justice should be included in Stem courses,"
'Thinking' is clearly not one of your gifts....as physics, math, etc. have noting to do with melanin.


"...so how would any know that minorities have been discriminated against in the workplace and in schools."
They haven't.
Whites have.


"It will help minorities..."
Achievement is what helps.


"It will help minorities in my opinion and should move minorities along with whites to excel in stem courses."
Nonsense.
Or....can you explain the following and how the 'social justice' scam will alter this:

With respect to the education gap, how is it that 'racism' is responsible for these areas in which black students fall short when compared to white and Asian students:

The number of days absent from school

The number of hours spent watching TV

The number of pages read for homework

Quantity and quality of reading material in the home

The presence of two parents in the home.




"Blacks and Hispanics are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and math jobs, relative to their presence in the overall U.S. workforce, particularly among workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher."
So?
Whites are underrepresented in the NBA.....need social justice there????


Here's a plan....how about we treat each individual as an individual?
