Is HexHammer as good as he thinks he is?

[Philosophy Explorer]

Want to comment on education:

"There has been a marine in USA teaching a complete loser class to play violin, and they became top students, a principal took over a complete loser school, and made it a top rated school, what all these and your example has in common, is motivating people, encourage them to do better, to strive and set goals in life."

Successful students are self-motivated. When they're not getting good grades, then it doesn't matter about using a reward/punishment system for motivation because it is only the good grades that matter in motivating as it is a measure. If you are argue that it is the way we test and measure, that has nothing to do with motivation as it is only how well the student does on the tests that is motivating.

It is a matter of communications that would motivate a student in learning in order to get good grades which would further motivate. The knowledge I possess is already known, to a small extent, in the field of entertainment. This knowledge I developed in yet another field which has brought me wild success years ago.

More recently I tutored someone in basic math (decimals, fractions and percentages). I only had two sessions with her to get her ready for her entrance exam to become a nurse. She scored an 84 out of 100 and I asked her if she felt I made a difference in her successful passing of the exam and she replied yes.

I'm not going to claim, on the basis of one person, that I have a successful system for education even though it's a nice feeling to know I made a difference with someone
(a number of years ago I successfully tutored a 91-year old lady at a college in a math workshop in algebra who credited me for her success - I didn't have a communication system back then as I do today). What I do claim is my system shows a huge potential in a number of different fields worth many billions of dollars and consistently has made a huge difference wherever it has been applied and can potentially fix the education system once and for all time to come - what is needed is to train the teachers and trainers in how to communicate because even if you have good teachers at a school, they can move on and then what do you do with the new teachers who may not have the teaching skills to motivate their students? Setting goals is meaningless unless you have a way to teach skills to the teachers and their students and communications is the key.

There's no question that the brain is involved, but the mechanism behind it is still a mystery to me and I think this can open up new fields of knowledge.

You don't appear to make sense, when you contradict your self, when caught in a logical error, then tries to dodge the subject.

I don't think you actually understand what a contradiction or a logical error is but prove me wrong and show me where I have contradicted myself, where I have been caught in a logical error and where I have, one, not admitted and corrected such errors and, two, where I have ever dodged the subject. I'll lay good odds that you can't and you know why? Because a serious academic training in Philosophy is exactly about such things.

You think being a parrot is superior to one who can think critically, you can't think critically, you can only parrot things and doesn't understand very simple means of proof when it comes to proving the usefulness of philosophy. ...

Once again you show that you are a cozy-chatter and spout nonsense and babble about a subject you have not bothered to study, as an academic training in Philosophy is exactly about thinking critically and if you just parrot you'll be getting a bad mark in your degree.

Those links you provided some days ago, with school children being superior by learning and using philosophy in school still doesn't prove much. ...

Well, apart from an across the board improvement in their grades.

There has been a marine in USA teaching a complete loser class to play violin, and they became top students, ...

Post the link please as I think you've been watching a movie here.

a principal took over a complete loser school, and made it a top rated school, what all these and your example has in common, is motivating people, encourage them to do better, to strive and set goals in life.

Of course!? But this is where you show your limited ability to think as nothing you say disproves that using philosophy as such a motivational tool is a failure.

Therefore I will always imo be superior to you, because I can put things into context, but you will always be inferior because you can't.

Context is important which is why you are inferior as I've actually been a teacher and implemented my thoughts with failing kids whereas you'll always just be a cozy chatter about such things.

...
You know, philosophy = love of wisdom = love of good and sound judgement, which what you say is not, ever.

But the goal of Philosophy is the logical clarification of thoughts, something you never do.

I can't believe you're actually taking on "The Hammer," as blatantly as you have done. Not because it's formidable, it's not! It's more like one of those little plastic playschool, or maybe a rubber hammer, that a parent entrusts to a toddler. Rather I'm amazed that you've, through addressing him as you've done, paid his words any credence at all, unless of course it's just your way of being in the holiday spirit, your present for him, if you will. If you're just feeling charitable, I'll leave you to it!


Happy Holidays, to those that wish to celebrate, whatever it is they wish to celebrate, in the truest sense, of course!
Thanks arising for being there when I needed someone to engage me! When I was all alone. Actually most of the time I still am, though relatively, I'm not. Happy Christmas!

I didn't, iMod split the discussion off another thread.

What holidays?

Love Christmas, December isn't Christmas.

In the US it is (12/25).

Is it also the 25/12 over there? Funny as its 3/12 over here.

If I understand your question, Dec. 24th is Christmas Eve while December 25th is Christmas Day over here. So I guess it's fair to say that December is Christmas.

I can't have a serious discussion with you, when you dismiss clear evidence, overwhelming proof, you constantly ask for proof, even tho you already have it.

Come back and let's have a serious discussion when you are ready.

I can't have a serious discussion with you, ...

You pretty much can't have a serious discussion period. As you are incapable of thinking about things that challenge your nonsense and babble cozy-chat.

when you dismiss clear evidence, overwhelming proof, you constantly ask for proof, even tho you already have it.

Show me where this clear evidence is, where is this overwhelming proof? All I have so far is your word whereas I provided you with an actual serious case study. Let's say you can, then how does it negate that teaching philosophy, i.e. critical thinking, improves students behaviour and results in other subjects?

Come back and let's have a serious discussion when you are ready.

Always here for a serious discussion but you appear to run away from such things.

Thanks for link and good long answer, but I'm not sure about those links that they actually "proves" anything, but a good discussion is can boost learning. ...

And which subject do you think has the best discussions and as a plus and method of thinking about what makes a discussion?

A control group should have been made that they was to freely discuss the subject instead of doing philosophy, and see if philosophy was the superior booster. ...

There you go again! Cozy-chatting about something you don't know. So do you have any idea what you mean by 'instead of doing philosophy'? That is, do you have any idea of what and how they actually teach philosophy in these lessons because if not then you are just spouting nonsense and babble.

Your post is proof of you not comprehending the nature of proof, you think it only lies in the process of spewing beautiful words and fancy rhetoric.

You dismiss intelligent reasoning for stupidity.

Nope, you make assertions that you do not back up with evidence, do this and I'll take you seriously rather than just yet another cozy-chatter spewing nonsense and babble.

You dismiss intelligent reasoning for stupidity.

Never done this, hence when you speak intelligently I treat it as such and many a time agree with you. That this is rare with you is a given.
