from a letter Lincoln wrote to James W. Somers on October 17, 1861: “It is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood; and the accidental truth of the assertion does not justify or excuse him.”

How you are embodied shapes your mind and your worldview.
“Human nature originates in the essential characteristic of animals, movement, which they use to avoid and escape problems rather than solve them. … We, as plants, remain in place, sensitive to everything around us, constantly learning and adapting to change and consequence. Problems cannot be escaped, only solved ..”

Travel is a good way to test ideas. And reading is a good way to travel while staying in one place.
#Travel #Reading #TestingIdeas
“We need travel, we Glassmakers. To stay in one place is like be-us plant, and we be-us animals. Travel forces test of ideas to see if be-they true everywhere, testing roles and duties and learning which be-them correct. Places must change, we must find ideas which remain the same.”
