Thobani Mhlongo

Hi Magnus Yes, indeed. There is one the I like about phisophising, it's just train your mind to think. By nature, we are thinking being. I mean that thinking is the apparent feature which distinguish us from our counterparts (animals and plant), yet we remain lazy to exercise that important feature of human creature. This form of laziness and ignorant is mostly depicted in our voting behavior (during elections).

Good day all My name is Thobani Mhlongo from South Africa, Pretoria. I am currently possessing a degree in Media Studies and working towards Honours Degree in the same subject. I first made contact wth freedomain radio by accident, and the first book that drew my attention was "everyday anarchy." My understanding of anarchy was very vague and skewed. What I knew simply that it is a state of chaos where there is no government. Upon reading the book, I came to realise that my understanding of anarchy was ideologically loaded, biase and fashioned in a way they makes me see it as an impossible thing to happen, while in reality 70% of our lives is anarchic in nature.

Good day Chaoticoli Do not feel ashamed of yourself for not possessing arguing ability. It always starts like that, but by practising, you end-up improving. It is alway a normal reaction. Arguing and/or presenting sound argument is not an easy task. And the majority of people think they possess this skill while they actually clouded by ill-considered thinking. The most important thing to know when you are critically arguing with a person is to establish their point of departure so-called "conclusion" or "claim", then try to understand their premises toward such claim(s). There are many ways to establish a claim and premise as you follows one's argument. It does not end there, however. But for today, I will end here. We will proceed next time, and also give you examples in order to understand it more clearly. It is a very complex thing, we can't finish in one day.
