Carl: When one's foundational beliefs (premises) are false/invalid, one's reasoning process may be logically consistent, but one will still come to a wrong conclusion. To accurately, efficiently and effectively resolve a problem, one must first find/know the truth. Self delusion is both common and comforting until one is confronted with cataclysmic events and sociopathic individuals.

I can understand the feeling that one has to justify the fact that they we already at war but the article misses the fact that simple logic would have prevented the war to begin with. Even if Saddam had WMDs does anyone believe that he would try to wage war directly with the US? I don’t think anyone thought he was that stupid. He is also on record for using his power to stop any and religious competition to his secular power. He was already on Osama’s hit list for how he treated the clerics. I also don’t think he would have given then WMDs either.

Bush and his cronies were just looking for an excuse the invade Iraq since the Nixon days. I can’t believe that out legislators were so stupid. Reason would have prevented to war in the first place.

Thanks for sharing this, Noel. There were longish articles in the Chronicle of Higher Education a couple of weeks ago on anger and rage in the U.S. and most of those articles support what the researchers say in the Science Daily article. Tough to do objective research when there is so much emotion involved.

Sounds like Fox news.

Dear colleagues,

I am happy to invite you to join my group:” Medical and Sports Massage” including FREE Medical and Sports massage lessons. Not alot of practitioners in the US are familiar with Russian Medical and Sports massage as it was proposed by a Russian physician professor of medicine Anatoly Sherback . I'm happy to offer you information about this methodology as well as some additional information about me. I hope that our friendship will be pleasant and mutual beneficial. I believe in sharing knowledge. In such a case you will be able to learn from me as well as I can learn from you . If after reading information about medical and sports massage, or viewing lessons you will have any question I'm encouraging you to make comments or initiate discussion topic . In such a case my replies will be available for many to read, as well as your replies. Looking forward for great relationship.

Best wishes.
Boris

Actually I think that much of the intuitive difference is our cultural training. When I was born I was ambidextrous but not now. I feel that most of my learning in this business has been to relearn to use the right side of my brain. I have natural empathic abilities that I suppressed for a totally left-brained career. But even though I have this uncanny ability to feel things there are interpersonal clues that I miss all the time. I feel that it is largely due to my upbringing. Likewise I think women have been right brain focused by our society but fortunately I see that changing but men are still being stereotyped and are behind in attaining sexual equality.
I think the “prove it” attitude that is the bases of EBT is probably just as common among the sexes.
