The issues right now following my discussion with a fellow minister is that we've got the blind leading the blind. People are not seeing. People are associating emotions with relationships and not with all things and the nervous system as a whole.
They are also not seeing that what is foundational is only on a psychology 105 level and an eighth grader ought to be able to understand. That bottom level is what I am trying to provide and strengthen rather than trying to strengthen the top of the pyramid of learning.
The bottom line problem still remains a problem of seeing or rather a problem of not seeing. Good teachers help people see. Bad teachers conceal what should be visible. If you read my other posts you will see the basic 5 emotions, the basic 5 logics, and the 5 altogether combinations from the first two.
Keep searching and studying till you have those 15 down. When you do you will be smarter than a PhD. By the way, I still regard the goal of PhD education highly. They should have the opportunity to lead. But if they are blind about the basics, how can they lead?
My only criticism of the PhD level isthat many of them are not getting a foundationally strong first-rate basic education before they reach that level. Be smart and seeing and then you will take care.
Sincerely,
Jon

Communication Basics: Making it Silly Proof
There was a saying when I was in school that a teacher or a coach needed to make things "moron-proof". This type of language doesn't pass the grade any longer. But I do think that it is important to make things "silly proof". We should simplify things (not too far to the point of being naive) in most cases down to a level where silly mistakes can be avoided.
You can have a PhD from Harvard or Yale or even Stanford and still fail the silly proof test If I were to ask you right now the big five kinds of categories and the big five emotions, you would likely fail the test. [Take a moment and write them down]. If you look elsewhere into this blog you will find all ten. What was your score out of 10? Unless you cheated, I know you did not score well. That goes for those with PhDs.
This is purely silly. Shouldn't every speaker of English know the basic 5 of each and possess the ability to add the next five as well. But we don't.
We continue to practice education that is not silly proof. We tolerate silly answers to silly questions. My question is not silly. I am asking you, "What are your basics in intelligence?" What is silly is that you can go through 5 levels of education (each about 4 years long) and so put in nearly 20 years of school education and still make silly intellectual errors.
Let's start producing silly-proof intellects in the United States at least and watch the silly mistakes melt before the mind's ability to do its job.
Sincerely,
Jon
P.S. The Dummy and Idiot series of books proves my point, if nothing else does. They are insulting titles that people still need at the PhD level. That's silly.
