Morality                              Epistemology

Modern Scholasticism: As I study philosophy and other things, I am not much concerned with who the author is, as I am about what is said. Veracity is contained in the thoughts (the words), not in the author, who is often dead. I will leave rigid attribution to the scholars.

Morality is determined by votes never taken. It was passed on from generation to generation at the kitchen table, and now on TV, newspapers (fading) and the internet (gaining), and office coffee pots and breakrooms and, of course, schools.
