Here's something I thought I would add. Just free thoughts that go through a persons head each day almost without thinking. The other day I read about how in the arctic circle in Siberia the temperature was the highest ever recorded, over a hundred and one F. And that thought added stress to my day just like it should to any thinking person. The stress that hits the body through the mind because you feel as though there's nothing you can do about it.
What makes a liberal, makes me wonder how does a thinking mind actually operate. We can say for sure that at this time during the summer solstice that part of the Earth is hit with constant light from the sun. And sure, there are a multitude of freak meteorological factors that contributed to this highest temperature ever known to occur. But in thinking about this dilemma, ideology should never come into thinking about the cause and then again thinking about what might be done to address it - if anything could be done.
Is it science based, is it about wanting to learn whether or not this is truly a problem, and then whether or not something can be done? I think it has a lot to do with the thinking mind. The mind that is puzzled about something and then one starts somewhere and then before you know it, the true thinking begins. It's no longer just thought, but actual thinking about a problem
and with that learning, and changing how you view the world.
It's the same thing with economics. The more you think about something, the more you look to find answers. The more you ask questions, the more you reach out to talk to others, the more you practice about learning the tools of statistics, the tools could be new to you as well. This is called thinking, this is how education is supposed to work.
Why does one study history if it's all a lie, at least most of what is taught? Just how did our society get to where it is today, and why. You want to know the truth and so you have to look where you can find it. One thing leads to another. You hear a name, you try to find out about the person behind that name, as well as the period of time that person lived in. And its never ending, and it can change you or anyone else for that matter. It is education, and it's never ending, and it has to at one point in time be self propelled.
One has to go off on their own, not based on platitudes, but on ones own intellectual pursuit.
I do not think that being a liberal is being in a club, it's not a click nor silo.
