What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?
Quakers aren't the same as Shakers or Amish and the religious movement and the oats aren't connected. Being religious and believing in God are not the same and don't have to go together. Not all religions are the same, even 'deep down'.

(Bringing back a 2018 Twitter hit): Keeping honey bees to save the bees is like keeping chickens to save the birds. They're a managed species and not at risk of extinction. The bees at risk of extinction are wild species.

Ants often act like inefficient goofballs. They got lost, accidentally drop their good and walk in circles trying to find it but eventually give up and go home, half of the ants in a nest just sit there 24/7 and do absolutely nothing.

Hi, newby here.
Taoist Quaker = silent loner. Doesn’t it? Mainly, but I do need a platform to hear from good people and occasionally contribute my thoughts.
Philosophy, politics and psychology interest me with a bit of American Football, baseball and podcasts on the side for entertainment.
