"We shouldn’t use the word 'believe'... I feel like when you know the science, you know where you stand, and that’s a good thing." - Hallo friend USA IN NEWS, In the article you read this time with the title "We shouldn’t use the word 'believe'... I feel like when you know the science, you know where you stand, and that’s a good thing.", we have prepared well for this article you read and download the information therein. hopefully fill posts Article HOT, Article NEWS, we write this you can understand. Well, happy reading.

Title : "We shouldn’t use the word 'believe'... I feel like when you know the science, you know where you stand, and that’s a good thing."

"We shouldn’t use the word 'believe'... I feel like when you know the science, you know where you stand, and that’s a good thing."

So... should we use the words "feel like" and adopt expressions that "feel like... a good thing"?

The quote — which I consider ridiculous — is from Paul Hawken, "an environmentalist, entrepreneur, writer, and founder of natural foods pioneer Erewhon Trading Company," interviewed in Salon. He's obviously not a climatologist, so he doesn't do the science himself. He just feels like it's a good thing to know where you stand, and that's a basis for persuading us not to use the rhetoric of belief when we align with what the human beings in the field of climatology tell us they have come to know using what they say are proper scientific methods.

Hawken continues, and notice how he continues to rely on the locution "feel like":

I feel like the communication of the science has been very much about fear — about threat and gloom and doom.... And I feel like fear is not a good way to act in the world — out of fear — and it always redounds against you and others. 

He doesn't like the use of "believe," but how is his "feel like" different? "Feel like" isn't scientific, especially as he uses it attached to feelings. He feels like fear is not a good way to act in the world. Saying "feel like" isn't demonstrating a strict adherence to objectivity and evidence. Rejecting fear and choosing a good way to act in the world isn't about the search for scientific truth. It's moral philosophy.

"Believe" is about accepting what other people (or supernatural voices) are telling you, and "feel like" is about listening to your own emotions. Obviously, we listen to others (and give them varying degrees of credence) and we also experience our feelings. There's no way to avoid some combination of believing and feeling. Who among us is doing his own scientific research on climate change?

But, of course, there's room to advise people about which words they ought to use, and that's all Hawken is doing, and his feeling is that talking about belief is less helpful in getting people to believe what he feels they should believe. He'd like to substitute talk of knowing.

Religious believers also substitute talk of knowing. You might ask a religious believer "Do you believe there is a God?" and get the answer "I don't believe there is a God. I know there is a God." Do they know or do they feel like it's a good thing to know where they stand?

Thus articles "We shouldn’t use the word 'believe'... I feel like when you know the science, you know where you stand, and that’s a good thing."

that is all articles "We shouldn’t use the word 'believe'... I feel like when you know the science, you know where you stand, and that’s a good thing." This time, hopefully can provide benefits to all of you. Okay, see you in another article posting.

You now read the article "We shouldn’t use the word 'believe'... I feel like when you know the science, you know where you stand, and that’s a good thing." with the link address https://usainnew.blogspot.com/2017/07/we-shouldnt-use-word-believe-i-feel.html
