Point A is "delusional".<BR/><BR/>You should SOMETIMES change your mind when you learn new things, but other times, you should learn something new that merely confirms your previous understanding.<BR/><BR/>If you change your mind every single time you learn something new, it means your past knowledge has zero predictive value. That means either the universe is inherently unpredictable (and you're delusional for thinking you can predict it / "learn" anything) or your "learning" doesn't match reality (and you're delusional for it.)LotharBothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06806302628374941715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32362118.post-69142517815963434862007-12-18T02:44:00.000-05:002007-12-18T02:44:00.000-05:00A = scholarlyEverything else in the strip is an ad...A = scholarly<BR/><BR/>Everything else in the strip is an adjective, so it makes sense to use one here.
