I mean which collective were you referring to. I assume that you were referring to a group rather than being mean about an individual.
human development
basic development of the human brain & how it works
humans as a species group & how they learn, develop & how that is done through, by & toward inside away from culture's(behaviors)
If one knows exactly what they're asking about then there is nothing to learn by asking.
yes & no
if you do not entertain the possibility f being wrong, then how to do you develop & up date your knowledge ?
you need to be able to test your own theory's yourself & safely with others so you can continue to advance
I'm not at risk ever except physically. There is no way that anyone can be meaner to me than I have already been to myself anyway. Thanks for the warning though.
your welcome
more people on line now permanently = more people with serious problems looking to take them out on others or engage in toxic behaviors.
i get the feeling from reading what you have written that your quite a strong person
as you mention you have been schooled in the school of hard knocks
sink or swim kinda stuff
take it from someone who has done a lot of sinking & a life time of struggling to get to the surface.
never say never & always have a plan
& always look to keep updating your mental tool kit to stay ahead of the next kick in the pants when your trying to pull up your socks
What does independent mean in this context?
independent means several things
keeping in mind your in theory attempting to be the observer
& learn
know your bias
a group may not appear to be a group or you may not see a group because of your bias or environmental factors
ensuring that you remain yourself is a bit of a fools comment because if we never change then we never learn
independent in this sense is fluid
primarily independent from bias in what ever for that takes,
Also what is with the smiley face? Are you patronising me? Please forgive me if I am wrong in this assumption...
no not patronizing you
the smiley face is a sign of good will intent to seek positivity in discussion of sensitive areas
like a personal mantra
focus on attempting to be & spread happiness when & if you can.
i also use it as a full stop or signature
it has no personal meaning to anyone else except my own choice to add something happy
like art
like you might add a color to something
