I try to choose my battles strategically so as to remain focused and conserve time and energy. I have discovered that with some people, it is not necessary nor desirable to contest every word written.

> - ScottScott - After my time with mental health, I kinda lost it. But one cannot go from reading 10+ journal articles daily to doing nothing. I started studying textual criticism of the bible (yes, including trying to learn some ancient Greek... that is another story). I now own close to 100 scholarly texts on the subject (found a used bookstore that specializes) & have studied them all.
Anyway, going through some posts that I missed while away from this site, I found some glaring errors by a poster.
Unfortunately, for all of us, it is best if I stick to psychopharmacology.
Re: Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Didn't he lose his just before the French Revolution? He was a Calvinist Freemason who believed the myth of the "Noble Savage". Read his "Discourse on Inequality" a while back, but it didn't leave much of an impression, but I see what you mean.
