Comment
A thought about why you should read and comment on old posts. ---(And read other people’s comments.)
The reason why you should read old posts and comments, and comment on them further, is because: There is inherent value in the agglomeration of thoughtful information, ala the principle that informed Wikipedia, but without its dead weight of the claim to fact. Reading and posting adds to the storehouse of information, all of which may have value some day. Your contribution automatically has some value now, simply by furthering the discussion, you know not what you might provoke, catalyze.
On the distinction of facts versus opinions, see Jim Peacock, “A fact is a precept seen thru a particular lens.”
Says here, the agglomeration of thoughts and ideas, facts and opinions, the aggregate of our human intelligence is the hope for our advancement.
Please even when you disagree, be it with the Clarion Content or another thinker, do it with respect and civility whenever possible.
