read and put them down in your own words. With software, you can cheat on Grammar & Spelling (click
the icon), but you can’t steal vocabulary; to be able to write well in your own fashion, you have to increase
your stock of words. Use the Thesaurus – how do you think I wrote this one?
If you ask for proof, you’re
asking for the testimony of
science. ‘A solid understanding
of the world is the first step for
improving living conditions of all
people throughout the world,’
Gene Shackman says (2006,
gsociology.icaap.org). You need
science for that. The theory is
that we need to be certain, if not
know for sure, before we can
wisely act. But that has been the
paradigm of the world since the
invention of the scientific
method as early as 1600 BC;
from that time on, the steps of
the scientific method adapted
had been: examination,
diagnosis, treatment and
prognosis (Wikipedia).

Thou shalt not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Build, not destroy. Do not manufacture evidence; do not
misinform, do not twist facts. Be truthful and tactful. Do
what the Romans do in Rome following Saint Paul: As
much as possible, be at peace with everyone.
IX.
Thou shalt not covet your neighbor’s wile. Admire, not
desire. Let him have his own gimmick, stratagem, ruse,
device, ploy or contrivance. Learn from it if you can. Be
original, think up your own artifice. Or get ideas from the
Bible – Shakespeare did. Get ideas from the Internet – I
always do. And yes, learn from marketing, such as to
transform a negative into a positive.
X.
Thou shalt not covet your neighbor’s gods. Remember:
Love of money is the god of all evil. Use but not amuse
yourself with wealth. Trust your heart on what is the true
treasure, the higher value, the utmost ideal. Finally,
primates, following Saint Paul, be seekers of whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things
are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there by
any virtue, and if there by any praise, dwell on these things.
If you like, call them ‘The Ten Commandments For Primates To
Love.’ But: What if primates can’t follow The Ten Commandments?
Let the primates do their best anyway – only their best is good
enough.
(5) Primate, come speak of reason.
It may be that even at this point you’re not convinced global warming stands to reason. Where’s the proof? you
ask. I say: We don’t need proof.
If you ask for proof, you’re asking for the testimony of science. ‘A solid understanding of the world is the first step
for improving living conditions of all people throughout the world,’ Gene Shackman says (2006, gsociology.icaap.org).
