Becoming a Philosopher Tips

  • Wondering is philosophy, philosophy is wondering. Never stop asking why, even when you are given an answer.
  • Look for meaning behind everything around you. Whenever you encounter something that your intuition tells you doesn't make sense or seems "fishy," look into why. Philosophy is more than reading philosophical works. True philosophy comes from daily thought and analysis of everything around us.
  • Don't hesitate to argue positions that are the opposite of what you believe. Being able to see as many sides of an issue as possible is an excellent way to hone your own arguments and thinking. A supreme philosopher can (and probably will) challenge even the most basic beliefs held by his or her society for without fear of criticism. This is exactly what Darwin, Galileo, and Einstein did, and why they are remembered.
  • As Thomas Jefferson said: "He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.” Don't be scared of having your ideas used by others. Having people hear your ideas will spark criticism and contribution, only strengthening your own thoughts and counter-argumentation.
  • Assumptions are the bane of philosophy and of fresh, intelligent thought. Never stop asking "why?"
  • Never stop asking questions because questions provide the key to unlocking our unlimited potential.

Spirits of Estonia

  http://www.inyourpocket.com/estonia/tallinn/Spirits-of-Estonia_56060f 1 For some of our readers, vodka might just be some colorless liquid that tastes like rubbing alcohol but goes great mixed in a cocktail. In Estonia however, hard liquor is pretty serious stuff.  Spirits can be made from many raw materials including grapes, potato, and grain. These days in Estonia the vast majority of vodka is made using high quality rye grain. First the raw material is fermented using yeast, which creates a weak alcohol or mash. Next this product is distilled creating a much stronger alcohol. Finally the impurities are filtered off, and water is added to bring the percentage from about 96 to about 40.And that is how you make vodka! Of course there is much to be said about quality and it certainly varies from brand to brand. The world’s best vodkas are made from the finest grains, the purest waters, multiple distillation & special filtration techniques.    A little history   Alcohol wa
