Cancer Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Ideally, learning means you escape the dying part. Otherwise documentation of success becomes problematic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pariah Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I spelled out the word 'Foxbat' for Little Boy Pariah today. He sounded it out correctly. He just turned three years old. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 They grow up so fast. Next Little Boy Pariah will try to take over the world with a crazy scheme involving comics, foxes, bats & mad chemistry. Crazy but brilliant of course.

Pariah Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Usually, but not always. To wit: "Just because you're out of your mind, that doesn't make you a genius." (Similar to, "Just because nobody understands you, that doesn't make you an artist.") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazza Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Usually, but not always. To wit: "Just because you're out of your mind, that doesn't make you a genius." Yes it does. As daimon ie spirit/soul = genius. And mind is a part of the soul (to the Greeks). To increase your capacity in spirit is to increase your capability; at a high enough level, we call it genius.

Old Man Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Scizophrenia is all too common. All the voices in my head have it. We're sure that inflates the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Scizophrenia is all too common. On the up side, though, it makes operating from a consensus natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 I had to explain to Little Boy Pariah this morning that the word 'iron' isn't pronounced the way it's spelled. I can't help but feel that a part of his childhood innocence is gone now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 q: why is in the word "iron" the "r" is silent, yet add a "y" to it, the "r" is pronounceable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 q: why is in the word "iron" the "r" is silent, yet add a "y" to it, the "r" is pronounceable? That is a bit of an irony, isn't it? And that's the reason for it. The word is self-referential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Perhaps. It is more an observation on my part of how English doesn't make sense. Especially to those learning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
