Humanist Thought of the Week

How to tell the difference between someone rationalizing their opinion and someone trying to solve a problem.  Hint - are they open to corrective information? Or not? 

Don’t use your intelligence to rationalize your opinion. Instead, use it to figure out a good solution.

I have the same dignity and worth as everyone else... and so do you!

My Humanism – for me – eliminates power differentials.

Using Humanism I don’t need to be afraid – all humans are – human – we are all equal. When you internalize that – the idea that some people are higher up or intimidating - just doesn’t happen – they are human. Just like me.

Nature and nurture. Biology helps me lead a happy life, but so does philosophy. Specifically Humanism. It’s why I teach it.
