Something worth thinking about: how did America get so extreme and so divided over the Middle East...and along what lines? There is a big part of our society that is taking a complex situation that is new to so many and making it a competition of which side is...

Karl Popper on How We Gain Knowledge: ––Karl Popper: "People think, usually, that we acquire knowledge by opening our eyes and our ears and let the sensations stream into us, and they believe then that we record this like a camera. In my opinion, if we wish to get knowledge, we have to have a problem. It has to be knowledge of something. We have to find out something. We don't have to wait for information to stream into us, but we have to be inquisitive if we want to get knowledge. If we were passive, we would gain a confused mass of sensations or something like that, which we would hardly be able to understand and to convert into what one may call knowledge. Quite apart from that, perception is not really, in my opinion, the main source of our knowledge. The role of perception is to inform us about a momentary situation in our environment. But we couldn't really interpret our perceptions without knowing much more about our environment, namely, we know whether we are in a house or whether we are in a glacier. So we have two kinds of knowledge: this wider knowledge of a frame in which we orientate ourselves, and the momentary perception which gives us information about the situation at that particular moment. And it is only this situation in which we can use our perception. So we have theoretical knowledge and, if you like, the momentary practical challenge to our theoretical knowledge. And here comes perception in."

VIDEO | Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala: On TMC MPs switching parties, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said, "...If you look at what's been happening both to the TMC and to the Shiv Sena, Mr. Thackeray, there have been engineered splits which have created a situation where two-thirds of the elected MPs in that legislature party have shifted allegiance. And the result of that appears to be that if the Speaker accepts their shift, the number of votes available to the NDA will suddenly go up. I think with the constitutional amendments in their mind, there may be some interest in trying to raise their total." He added, "And I ask the public, the voters who voted for these MPs, is this what they wanted them to see? I think the honest truth is that in many ways our politics is getting more and more devoid of principle. And that is a very sad thing for our democracy. At least when you vote for somebody, you should know what he stands for, what he believes, what she believes, whatever. But when you suddenly go to the opposite side, it becomes a different issue." On the situation in West Asia, Tharoor said, "Very sad. And I think that situation again threatens not only the well-being of India because all the oil, gas, phosphates, fertilisers, ammonium and aluminium come from that side. But on top of that, there is the real worry that our own workers and people in the Gulf are safe. Those in the Gulf, all sorts of Indian citizens, are going to be terribly vulnerable if this conflict escalates. So certainly, it's a shame that it's come to this...I hope that our own country will try and play a role to try and defuse the situation to the best of its ability."
