Indeed.* I don't believe that good reasoning skills is enough
   (there's more than just tools and raw materials - we're part of
   various cultures) yet becoming enculturated without good
   reasoning skills is not enough.* Perfect vision - possible?*
   Darned if I know. But we have skills and tools and environments
   and culture, language, mythologies, stories.* We have histories,
   knowledge mazes we can go into and investigate, trying to find
   various bits of cheese. My conclusion?* Keep the gates of
   information open as much as possible.* Families, communities,
   societies work to transmit culture through entertainment,
   education, advertising... and, thankfully, we appear to each be
   endowed, if not with a purely reasoning mind, at least with a
   something that appears to choose what deserves focus at one
   point in time to the next. If I see a dominating view becoming
   popular, circles forming, I'm one of those annoying guys that
   stirs it up - a compulsion I suppose...* I believe that
   everybody's blind to something (especially myself) and if I can
   help someone have an opportunity to either defend their vision
   or point out my blindness so i can see it or perhaps get a
   glimpse of their own blindness (or, if I'm lucky, to see my
   vision if I have one)... then I feel like I've done something to
   keep things moving. I don't like stagnation.* Comfort, sure but
   not stagnation.
