Daily Thoughts 08/31/2012
I have been reading more of Evolutionaries. One of the ideas in evolutionaries that is being written about is that children develop over time; Jean Piaget is discussed in an evolutionary context. People don't start out with higher reasoning, or religious inclinations when they are small children. They are not little adults. I especially like the book Descartes Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain by Antonio Damasio. One of the central tenets of Descartes Error is that reason stems from emotion developmentally and neurologically.
I am reading a bit more of Madrigal's Magic Keys to Spanish, I am on Chapter 13. The book has 45 chapters and is 496 pages long, so I have quite a bit to go. I think I will also get a Spanish-English dictionary because I am running into words that I don't quite understand. I think I have some of the basics.
I have been reading more of How To Keep People From Pushing Your Buttons. There are sections focused on work and family. Some parts are hard to read.
