[[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 21:43, 20 January 2015 (EST)
First, let me say what a pleasure it is to visit once agin with my favorite two people, this time in August's house. The view from your front window is specactular, and your music collection is most impressive. (I'd like to meet in Cons's house next time, but he keeps it locked. He has a front entryway, but he keeps burning it down.)
Now Cons, I'd like to talk to you about offensive national stereotypes. This is serious, and I'd like you to pay attention. Really. I apologize if this comes across as mindless "political correctness", but I'm serious.
I spent a fair amount of time this morning reading a number of web pages and other sources about what "wohl" and "Ja wohl" really mean. It's a very complicated and nuanced word. Google translate says "well", in the health sense, along with "probably", "perhaps", "possibly", etc. The Harper-Collins ''German Concise Dictionary'' (it's anything but concise!) lists it as a "Schlüsselwort" (key word, important word) and gives many meanings, including "comfortable" and "at ease", along with a great number of idioms, such as "er weiß das sehr wohl" -- "he knows that perfectly well". (But they've gotten rid of the "ß", haven't they?) The combination "Ja wohl" means "yes emphatically" or "yes certainly". As a response to a request it begins to take on the meaning that you seem to ascribe to it, from watching ''Hogan's Heros'' and various other silly World War II things: "Yes, sir!" or "I'll do it right away!"
There are web pages that go into detail about its "Yes, sir!" meaning in the military, and the fact that many Americans associate that with the Nazi era.
I've read the "Schnitzelrepublic" web page. It was well-written, light-hearted, and affectionate. But I don't think you have used the term in a light-hearted way with AugustO. Please remember that people can easily be offended by thoughtless national stereotypes, especially when those stereotypes are informed by a ''Hogan's Heros'' mentality. And please remember that the Nazi era was not a pleasant time, for Germany or anyone else, and try to make more erudite (love that word!) and well-thought-out comments.
That said, I'm sure AugustO is very efficient. :-)
Now you two can go back to fighting over what "soon" means, especially in the context of saying just when a booklet will be coming out. Three years is a long time to wait, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Idea: Cons, why don't you promise not to block either of us until the booklet comes out?
One more thing: August: can you send me a usable email address? I will not divulge it to anyone else without your permission. My email is at the top of my user page.

The pages are

:The talk page had contained this question from EddyJ:
:*"How did the D Days of the first quarter of the calendar year of 2009 work out? Almost five years later, is evolution still around?"
This brings up the question: Just how ''did'' those D-Days turn out? Is evolution still around 6 years later?
And, speaking of predictions, a question was raised a few months back (too lazy too look it up; I'm sure you know what I'm talking about) along the lines of "Evolutionists: Beware the Ides of March". Well, that date is coming up real soon now. Can the author tell me just what I'm supposed to be afraid of?
This is not the first year that dire predictions have been made for the Ides of March. In none of the past cases am I aware that the predicted doom came to pass. Can someone tell me what I missed? [[User:SamHB|SamHB]] 13:33, 22 February 2015 (EST)

Some branches of psychology are pseudosciences and laymen are able to do just as well as trained professionals. At the same time, cognitive psychology is very useful and helps with such things as designing airplane cockpit instrument panels and increase people's intellectual abilities. [http://www.amazon.com/Your-Memory-How-Works-Improve/dp/1569246297 This book] shows people how to boost their memory by about 40-60% or more using various memory techniques and I believe it was written by a cognitive psychologist. The figures of 40-60% or more is based on experimental evidence. I plan on learning these techniques this year.

After all is said and done, in order to better study/apply information, you need to be able to comprehend it and recall it. So memorization/comprehension are fundamental skills worth enhancing as they increase your efficiency/speed of learning. And part of that process can certainly include practicing new memory skills.
The Book of Daniel noted that knowledge will increase in the end times and we live at a time of a knowledge explosion in many respects so these skills are very useful now. I am a big believer in lifelong learning and chided my friend who recently said she was too old to learn. I told her that the mind is like a muscle and if you don't exercise it you will stagnate.
Lastly, I believe there are benefits of taking time to memorizing Scripture and some of them are given below.

*[http://www.weirdunsocializedhomeschoolers.com/scripture-memory/ Scripture memory box]
I agree with this person who said:
"The perceived value of memorizing scripture, or of memorizing anything for that matter, has fallen on hard times in recent years. Trends in education, and the pervasive belief that memorization is simply a rote practice that has no real impact on true learning, have relegated memorization to an outdated, dusty tool. However, in dismissing the value of memorization, we have lost the practice of internalizing things that are worth keeping and pondering.
Memorization, whether of poetry, a favorite quote or of Scripture, allows you to reflect on the meaning of words repeatedly and in depth. The ultimate goal of memorization is not to regurgitate a thought for the sake of that accomplishment alone, but to allow the words to affect your thinking and your perspective. People who memorize poetry tend to do so because the words carry message that resonates with them."[http://www.examiner.com/article/the-benefits-of-memorizing-scripture]
"Scripture Memorization Works:
Every time we think a thought, including when we memorize and meditate on scripture, our brains are changed. Dr. Amen, a clinical neuroscientist and psychiatrist and author of Making a Good Brain Great, says, “Every time you have a thought your brain releases chemicals. ... Your thoughts
... positive or negative ... make you feel good or they make you feel bad.” What you read and what you say to yourself, changes ever so slightly the neuropathways of your brain and that, in turn, influences your attitudes, behaviors, and emotions. Scripture memorization allows you to choose words and images that shape your mind and heart. It works in us even when we are not conscious of its doing so."

SamHB, clean up you user page which is at [[User:SamHB|SamHB]]. Try to make it more like [[User:Conservative|User: Conservatism]] in its crisp design, simplistic beauty and austere nature. :) Start by removing all the unsightly "crossed out" font on your user page.

:Well played, Cons! OK, I will see what I can do about cleaning that up. The multivariable calculus stuff is way obsolete. But maybe it should stay, as a permanent record of my life here. And maybe the crossed out "I can help you; on second thought I can't" garbage should go. But my user page will never have the "crisp design, simplistic beauty and austere nature" (you ''do'' have a way with words!) of yours, for a few reasons:
:*My life at CP, like my life in the real world, is complex and messy. As an example, I've been blocked about 13 times, depending on exactly how you count. (All of them wrongly, but I'm not going to argue that.) It's only in the last couple of years that I seem to have earned enough respect from the admins (yes, even you!) that I don't feel like a criminal all the time. It really does affect one's outlook, and hence one's user page.
:*I don't have the luxury of locking both my user page and talk page, and living behind a cloak of simplicity. You put all your entropy in the various subpages of your user page, like all the music stuff. Doing that just isn't for me.
:*And, of course, you put all your entropy in the "atheism and canoe paddles" articles. (Quick challenge: Come up with a witty reply. Extra points if you can do it without referring to being up the creek without one.)
:*I put my efforts into clean, elegant, and correct pages in mainspace, especially in the math and science area. That's what all the home-schoolers are going to come for, right?
Be that as it may, I will think about making my user page cleaner. But not cleaner than the reality of my life.

== re: German comments ==
Recently, I listened to some music by Beethoven. After listening to the music, I thought of the various important contributions of Germans. For example, Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation.
I know I did some good-natured ribbing about the Germans, but looking back I regret doing so.
Europe is facing a lot of problems right now. Hopefully, German Christians will help soften some the blow of some of the past mistakes Europeans committed which are starting to cause some significant problems (see: [http://evangelicalfocus.com/blogs/838/Europes_crisis_Gods_opportunity Europe’s crisis. God’s opportunity]). For example, recently I read that many Moslem immigrants to Europe are converting to Christianity (or pretending to) and some churches are taking a pro-active stance on this issue and actively engaging in evangelism efforts.

::I think you are right about some of my comments, but I know at least my Hogan's Hero's comments were good-natured. I also know that I always had a measure of respect for Germanic culture. One of my teachers said that Germans have done some of the greatest things that humanity has ever accomplished and some of the worst things. I think that is a fair statement. When you have a culture which has a good degree of self-discipline you can put that discipline to good uses or bad uses. I do think Europe's economy would be in much worse shape if it weren't for the Germans.
::As far as contemporary Germany, I am not a fan of flooding Europe with Muslims and I think boosting Europe's fertility rate would be a better solution, but I will admit that the insisting that the new immigrants learn the native language (German) and making greater efforts at work placement is a lot better than than the French/Swedish immigration model. But with the New Year's Eve sexual assaults in Colgne, Germany tell me that this is not an optimal solution. I guess Merkel and German businessman are in a difficult situation given the labor demand for German industry. I think making greater efforts to bring in more Christian immigrants would be a better solution as far as short-term solutions.
::I think Europe needs to adopt a more Christian worldview. The agnostic professor [[Eric Kaufmann]] said that boosting fertility rates though public policy has had mixed success as far as countries that have tried this if memory serves, but I can't precisely recall all his public statements that I have heard.[https://books.google.com/books?id=E3X4CgAAQBAJ&pg=PA138&lpg=PA138&dq=%22eric+kaufmann%22+fertility+france&source=bl&ots=sjy2t0PxhI&sig=98Kda6TclDBWelMexgT5lPxsjrQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjoj9SAwI7NAhUJNT4KHVnjCGkQ6AEIQTAF#v=onepage&q=%22eric%20kaufmann%22%20fertility%20france&f=false]

I was just thinking about one of my previous statements. Given robotics and potential changes in terms of energy technology, I am not sure what is going to happen as far as the work/leisure equation.

Why don't you stop working on the CBP?
I gave some reasonable criticisms of the project including one that I just added that you probably agree with relating to original intent of the authors (see the Conservative Bible Project talk page).
The CBP has a flawed design which gets in the way of original intent being adequately expressed in the translation.

*The interesting thing: I'm learning very much due to the CBP, e.g., I never before thought about word frequencies in the Bible other than as a mean to efficiently learn the vocabulary. I take my time to look thoroughly into things, and this way I have benefited from this ill-guided project, improved my vocabulary and my general knowledge of Greek over various time periods.

#Indeed, the [[Conservapedia Bible Project]] became my ''raison d’être'' on this site.

Neither is my English (and I have no knowledge of Hebrew) But I'm qualified enough to spot the most egregious errors made by those who are even less qualified than me!

I do know some things about digital marketing. And "Germany, known for its strong industrial base, is rapidly embracing digital transformation. Marketing professionals with expertise in digital marketing, SEO, SEA, and social media management are, and will, continue to be in high demand."[https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/future-marketing-jobs-germany-recruiters-perspective-tor-clarkson-2fhpe?utm_source=rss&utm_campaign=articles_sitemaps#:~:text=Germany%2C%20known%20for%20its%20strong,to%20be%20in%20high%20demand.]
Greece is a nice country to live in too.[https://immigrantinvest.com/blog/living-in-greece-en/] And if I learn modern Greek, it would give me a leg up on learning Koine Greek. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 15:06, January 14, 2024 (EST)
*''I do know some things about digital marketing'' That's good to hear. You can work and live in [[Berlin]] only speaking English, or perhaps in [[Hamburg]] (if you have a British accent). I assume that ''digitical'' marketing is even better than our own ''digital'' marketing, so you should get a head start!
*''Greece is a nice country to live in too'' And Guatemala, Greenland, Georgia, Guyana, which are other countries starting with G. Otherwise, the differences between Germany and Greece are immense. --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 09:18, March 18, 2024 (EDT)
::Dual citizenship or permanent residency has its pros/cons and travel broadens the mind. In some ways, countries are like planes. Even if you are on a very well-maintained and solidly engineered plane, it's always good to have a parachute! Likewise, it's good to have money and skills so you can relocate either for a period of time or permanently (See: [https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mapped-the-migration-of-the-worlds-millionaires-in-2023/ List of countries having the most millionaires who are leaving]).
::Another nice Western country with some traditional values to consider moving to or visiting for a long period. "Over the next decade the Philippines economy is forecast to continue to grow rapidly, with total GDP increasing from USD 440 billion in 2023 to USD 800 billion in 2030. A key growth driver will be rapid growth in private consumption spending, buoyed by strong growth in urban household incomes."[https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/mi/research-analysis/philippines-economy-shows-robust-growth-into-the-new-year.html#:~:text=Over%20the%20next%20decade%20the,growth%20in%20urban%20household%20incomes.].
::Outside a Western country, some Latin American countries would be nice to have dual citizenship or permanent residency. And Spanish is easy to learn. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 09:53, March 18, 2024 (EDT)
