How do we get more reason into everyday speech and discussion about belief? If we could get the science way of thinking into the whole world population that would be job done . Reason is the ‘Fuel’ or ‘Bread’ of science - it could not function without it. It uses reason to get to a testable, reproducible conclusion.

How about substituting the cry “Free speech!” For “Free Reasoned speech!”

And how is our education system structured to that way of thinking....rather how could it be?

More science lessons - at least that should work but does not always depending on whether the teacher lets you think for yourself.

@Mcflewster and maybe more instructions on how to achieve the ability to think

@HankSherman I can understand this request after a lifetime teaching youngsters." Please Sir what do I do next?" I can hear it ringing in my ears now. In fact I have now decided that no one NEEDs telling what to do [Except in an emergency and when very young] . The human mind has the capability from Birth of finding solutions to its immediate problems and with a bit of research into better recorded solutions between problems it can adapt remarkably and has done for millennia. So just think and explore . Let your mind be free from worry or guilt and it will find the best way of thinking for YOU. Well done for finding this site.

One has to take very small steps. Rome was not built in a day.

and it did not survive its makers original plans.

Over the years I have met some truly stupid people. It is my sincere belief that these people do not have sense, common or any other variety. And religion serves a useful purpose in offering them a guide through life.
