I love anything that talks about thinking. Maybe it‘s because I think too much, and it gives me something philosophical to think about. Maybe it‘s because I feel like most people don‘t do enough thinking and society has made them that way. Not sure, but I love this particular observation of thinking.
This really does explain Elodin in so many ways.

julesG The quote made me think of the learning process. This is how I prefer to learn. Getting/coming up with a question and puzzling out the answer myself rather than being fed the answer/facts. 6y

GingerAntics @julesG I think you learn more that way, because along they way you learn WHY that‘s the answer and why it can‘t be something else. Everything is spoon fed now. 🙄 Then again, they‘re creating a workforce that doesn‘t question anything, so I suppose it‘s doing exactly what it‘s designed to do. Drives me nuts. 6y
julesG 😵😵😵 It's terrible, but it's the same here. Humans are explorers and scientists by nature, but -reading the Book Thief right now, I'm aware that- citizens who know how to use their brains are a problem for the government. Governments prefer docile or afraid citizens who take the government's word without asking questions. 6y
GingerAntics @julesG exactly!!! After something like the events of The Book Thief happens, they encourage thinking and questioning for a time, but ultimately they always go back. It‘s how the powerful stay powerful and the rich stay rich. 6y
GingerAntics A person who asks questions is scary to the government. A woman who asks questions is down right terrifying. 😏 I do love my life. 6y
julesG Goodness! A woman with a brain might bring the ivory tower down. 😏 6y
GingerAntics @julesG I know!!! We think the craziest things...like all people deserve and need love and respect...like everyone is important...like kindness is cool. 😳 What will become of the world with this madness rampant?! 6y
GingerAntics @julesG I was watching this show that had a group of anti-poaching personnel from Africa called the Black Mambas. These scientists went to the local villages and wanted to train the women, but the men wanted jobs for the men. They pushed for the women because they needed people who could be caring, kind, and nurturing. These women have stopped 99% of the poaching in their area. THAT is the power of women with brains. It SHOULD scare men. 😏 6y
julesG It scared men. That's when patriarchy started. Matriarchal societies could be very beneficial for all. 6y
GingerAntics The world survived on them for centuries...then the patriarchy came in about 3,000-4,000 years ago and all hell broke loose. We have recorded history from before the patriarchy, but since it doesn‘t involve wars, it‘s assumed that it‘s fairytales or made up. 🙄 Life would be much different, far more equitable under matriarchy as apposed to the patriarchy we have. “God” didn‘t do it. Men did it. 6y
