Psychological Warfare 505
“New eyes to see the dawn.”

–

caveat:  When ‘perfect love’ is viewed as ‘perfectly indifferent’ creation has free will. That is why we see the suffering in the world today. It’s up to us to fix what needs to be fixed and stop pretending ‘God’ is sending ‘Jesus’ armed with an assault rifle.

Truth changes traditional orthodoxy by ending the belief that ‘God’ is personally involved with the intimate details of folk who have had the misfortune of being clubbed by Eden’s rib bone fib. (aka John 3:16)

Judge Stephen J. Murphy III is wrong in his belief that justice for all does not require the endowment of literacy in America’s children. The error undermines our pursuit of equality, liberty and justice by devaluing the importance of truth.*

I look forward to reading Carol Dweck’s Mindset and believe that children require freedom from the perverse nature of cognitive dissonance and its ability to poison our judicial branch with acquiescence to the heresy that undermines grace in America.

*“In his decision, Judge Stephen J. Murphy III said that ‘access to literacy’, or a ‘minimally adequate education’, was not a fundamental right, and plaintiffs had failed to show that the state had practiced overt racial discrimination. (NYT)

LOOSE NUTS: FASCINATING NEWS  (https://www.dailypnut.com)

– A student won’t graduate from Stanford’s Graduate School of Business without at one point being told they must read Carol Dweck’s Mindset and her “research on fixed versus growth mindsets about intelligence. (It would be like trying to graduate West Point without learning about the Battle of Cannae, Austerlitz, or Kasserine Pass.) When children and adults believe that intelligence is fixed – you either have it or you don’t – they can be less resilient to challenges in school.” Recently her research has been getting even more press as she and another researcher found that “Instead of ‘finding your passion,’ try developing it, Stanford scholars say: The belief that interests arrive fully formed and must simply be “found” can lead people to limit their pursuit of new fields and give up when they encounter challenges, according to a new Stanford study.” (Stanford)

While this research may be new it’s really nothing new to Asian tiger moms who have pushed their kids to excel in math, music, science, engineering, etc… And this is the same advice that Ben Horowitz, a venture capitalist gave in a commencement speech in 2015: “Don’t follow your passion … And the first tricky thing about passions is they’re hard to prioritize. Which passion is it? Are you more passionate about math or engineering? Are you more passionate about history or literature? Are you more passionate about video games or K-pop? These are tough decisions. How do you even know? On the other hand, what are you good at? Are you better at math or writing? That’s a much easier thing to figure out.” (A16Z)
