1. Anaximander is usually included amongst the Milesians for some obvious reasons; he lived in Miletus, and he was in conversation with other Milesian figures such as Thales and Anaxemines. At the same time, he seems to stick out as unique amongst the Milesians, particularly with respect to the description of the Milesian school as characterized by “material monism.” Explain the appeal of both sides of this issue, why one might include and alternatively hesitate to include Anaximander amongst the material monists.

"Why won't they admit, they are wrong?" and other skeptics Mysteries.

4 Guidelines; (1)Ask questions, be willing to wonder. (2)Define your terms. (3)Examine the evidence. (4)Analyze assumptions and biases.

One of the greatest challenges for scientist and educators is how to persuade people to give up beliefs they hold dear when the evidence clearly indicates that they should. Why aren't most people grateful for the data? It's easy to make fun of others who won't give up ideas or practices that scientific research has shown to be demonstrably wrong --therapeutic touch, alien abduction, the Rorschach Inkblot Test --or beliefs in haunted houses and psychic detective skills that the skeptical inquirer keeps exposing as frauds or delusions. IT's harder to see that the mechanism that keeps all these people from admitting they are wrong afflicts us too --all of us, even skeptics. The motivational mechanism that underlines the reluctance to be wrong, to change our minds, to admit serious mistakes, and to be unwilling to accept unwelcome findings is cognitive dissonance was invented fifty years ago by Leon Frestinger, who defined "dissonance" as a state of tension that occurs whenever a person holds two cognitions that are psychologically inconsistent, such as “Smoking is a dumb thing to do because it could kill me” and “I smoke two packs a day.” Dissonance produces mental discomfort, a state that is as unpleasant as extreme hunger, and people don’t rest easy until they find a way to reduce it. Smokers can reduce dissonance either by quitting or by convincing themselves that smoking is not really so harmful. Hey, in fact, it’s beneficial, since it keep me from gaining weight. The Congressmen and ministers who preach that homosexuality is a sin and a choice reduce dissonance, when caught with male lovers, by saying, I am not "happy" –I was just under stress.
