So many things that baffled me in the past suddenly seem so clear, almost to the point of being comical.......... |
I'm only partway through the book but I did thumb through some of the backpages which sort of influenced me buying it. There were some parts I wasn't so sure of but..maybe upon re-reading (I was skimming) it will become more clear for me.
I will say I am truly surprised at how much of what I already intuit in everyday life is expressed in Hawkin's book. I did thumb through the political party calibrations & was not surprised at how some of the extremists calibrated. I also thumbed through his calibrations of the distributions at different geographic locales & was not surprised to see my prior residence (I lived in Southern California an hour out of Hollywood) calibrate so poorly. I had many reasons to move one of which was the area was no longer resonating well with me.
I have also found tremendously interesting was Hawkin's calibrations of various parts of the Bible.
Ethereal: Thanks much for the links! I will be checking out the forum. I have quite a few questions such as:
Does the wording of Hawkin's statements determine the calibration? I ask this because well, when I was looking at his calibration of "people who do not vote" (sorry not word for word but paraphrased) they calibrated below 200. That is interesting to me because many people do not vote such as..well, the host of this forum Steve! He has stated his reasons for not voting & they do not suggest fear or anger.
Perhaps my question is not so much regarding wording but regarding what each category represents. Does the category of "people who do not vote" include Steve or... does it reference perhaps the group of people who are just apathetic or feel powerless in light of a larger problem? This is a question that has come up for me in reading Truth vs. Falsehood.
Okay well that's all for now! Thanks again for the links!
