![]() ![]() They observed my accent and they asked me where I am from. The other day, while visiting Vancouver, BC, I was stopped by a family to take a photo. I am writing this blog post just to rant and vent off and share with you one incident that happened with me. No wonder why the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who live in New York, love Pizza □ Continue reading “A day trip to Manhattan, New York City” The further I got away from Manhattan the more tolerable and pleasant the city felt to me. What struck me most was that on each block you would find a pizza place. Later that day, I did my best to go away from Times Square and deep into the other parts of Manhattan. ![]() People were pushing each other and were very unfriendly. Manhattan is not like what you see on TV. The trash bins were full, homeless people were everywhere and the city was very very dirty. People everywhere and there were barely room for pedestrians. Unfortunately, it was raining the most part of the day. I figured, why not, let me ride the tour bus and familiarize myself with the city. After I arrived, I left the station and found myself in the center of Manhattan. It was a pleasant 4 hours ride in the train. This blog is open to everybody.Back in August, while visiting Boston, I took the Saturday morning Amtrak train to the Pennsylvania Station, New York City. In short, this is a gathering of 'artists' where everybody is free to post anything that could catch his/her attention. Just like the early childhood memories of a friendship with an imaginary friend, or the one between Morrison and the Shaman, God and His befallen angels, of our ancestors and fire, we are attempting to resemble the beautiful and the ugly, the creative and destructive, blessings and curses, and offer a platform of interaction and reflection for the very own shake of existence. όποιος έχει κάτι να πεί, θα μας βρεί στο mail επικοινωνίας: In the midst of everyday loss and panic, the repeated routine and boring habits, lost artists search for the simplest means of communicating ideas and exchanging thoughts. They embody the Socratic principle: The unexamined life is not worth living, because they realize that many unexamined lives together result in an uncritical, unjust, dangerous world. They recognize the complexities in developing as thinkers, and commit themselves to life-long practice toward self-improvement. They strive never to think simplistically about complicated issues and always to consider the rights and needs of relevant others. At the same time, they recognize the complexities often inherent in doing so. They strive to improve the world in whatever ways they can and contribute to a more rational, civilized society. They realize that no matter how skilled they are as thinkers, they can always improve their reasoning abilities and they will at times fall prey to mistakes in reasoning, human irrationality, prejudices, biases, distortions, uncritically accepted social rules and taboos, self-interest, and vested interest. They work diligently to develop the intellectual virtues of intellectual integrity, intellectual humility, intellectual civility, intellectual empathy, intellectual sense of justice and confidence in reason. They use the intellectual tools that critical thinking offers – concepts and principles that enable them to analyze, assess, and improve thinking. They strive to diminish the power of their egocentric and sociocentric tendencies. They are keenly aware of the inherently flawed nature of human thinking when left unchecked. People who think critically consistently attempt to live rationally, reasonably, empathically. Critical thinking is self-guided, self-disciplined thinking which attempts to reason at the highest level of quality in a fair-minded way. ![]()
