Thursday was interesting. The article we had to read spurred some conversation but nothing particularly good. To me it seem that I was the only one who really cared about what the author was saying and I disagreed with him. I am out numbered. Plain and simple. The biggest problem here is that, in order to search for truth, debate is needed. This goes back to the Yale Freshmen article, communication. I'll stick to my guns but it is a lot of work when a) the majority of the class won't listen or doesn't try to understand, and b) there is no opposing view point. The last point made in class was that "humility is essential in the search for truth." Part of this is thinking about other points of view. Where is the other point of view? Where is the guy who says that we can be certain? The fact that an opposing view point is not being presented goes directly against what we talked about in class.
