Teaching children thinking skills, and about me and my texts

I sometimes ponder about old Finnish art and books: such great fracturelessness and wisdom, why does it not carry in the modern world? Did the same happen in other countries to their traditional wisdom? I think that what the old times' art and books do not carry are cultural differencies in the modern world: the audience is just bigger than the works of art etc were planned for, culturally much too different and varied. In the modern world such pieces of art and books are read, watched and listened by many who are interested in that culture, so they should bring a very good result if applied abroad by people who like that culture's approach, want to try it out. They are likely to be the foreigners who largely handle that country's affairs in such things that demand knowing the culture and it's art and books at least somewhat. So if they cannot use something, they are likely to bypass it and change to othert subjects and so such wisdom does not carry, since it's audi...

I have now written some20 years, without pay, i just have felt that such texts are needed, and so I have written them to the internet and lived with small money. My texts are useful in the society and for the world, so it is kind of agreed about work for me, even though without pay. I write to www.blogger.com (internet addresses ending .blogspot.fi or .com) which is a free blog site by Google that is as far as I know available in many countries, and is a quite nice way to make blogs with text, some pictures and maybe videos, and has several different looks for the blogs to choose from. (A piece of advice about writing fact text http://musicalfactlanguage.blogspot.com/2018/11/another-subject-succeeding-in-writing.html ). I live in an apartment house in town and have two middle-sized or quite small dogs. http://picturesfrommyhome.blogspot.com I have written about subjects that interest many. Yet when I have sent a blog link to a discussion group on largely the same subject, so that ...

Usually one cannot learn new skills from persons that one has not oneself by one's own observation skills noticed to be skilled in the things that ne wants to learn. So not for example of persons who have the reputation of being the most skilled, if you do not see it yourself, since they do things in so complex or well thought of ways that there are too many things to learn at the same time, too vaguely in sight with too mcuh variation and too mcuh complaxity, too finely tuned observational skills needed and too much information of the subject needed. But sometimes people with high skills have written teaching material, so if that is of the right skill level for you, you can study that even if you cannoit learn by copying from them personally. But often also such material demands a too high starting level. Then you must find teachers & courtses in those basic skills. Luckily those things are usually better taught and have professional teachers with good teaching skills.

All of my texts and videos presuppose a starting level roughly given by having learned my thinking course http://quickerlearning.blogspot.fi . The thinking course presupposes a good eyesight, a good ability to understand what one sees and observe landscapes with an understanding of the structures in them. As far as I know most human races have these basic skills of looking but those from black Africa do not have them but look with social eye like one observes the shapes of trees and bushes in darkness, thinking if they are maybe like monsters. Also heavy food on a hot day is not good for understanding what one sees, neither are air conditioned (cooled) indoors as an environment where one uses one's eyes most.

I just rememebered a game of sinking war ships we sometimes played when I was a kid, mainly against my mom, and it maybe increased problem solving skills later, but we did not play it so often. Mostly there are just two players. Each player has a grid boxed ordinary writing or counting paper and a pen. They choose a square of a suitable size, for example 8 times 8 boxes, and a nice number of war ships fitting well to it, for example one row of five boxes, two ships of four, three ships of three boxes in a row, four ships of two and five ships of one box.  They also number the boxes by marking numbers from 1 to 8 to the side  and letters from A to H to the top so that each box is easy to refer to. Then they each secretly, without showing to the opponent, draw the ship outlines to their water area. No twio ships may be side by side but corners touching is ok. Then they try to guess where the ships of the other player are and hit them to sink the ship under the water. They ea...

My mom was always fond of mathematics. My parents called mathematics the queen of sciences.  My mom once said that seh had had in school math number 11 on scale from 4 to 10, and that later the teachers had rised it to 14. I did not believe it then, but could it have explained why my parents forced me to study math in university, even though I never had even glimpse of any new idea, of any work result in math. My mom was full of new ideas for new math results. She seemed to keep associations in daily life as sources for new ideas in math. I have never liked math. I am much more inclined to objective thinking like philosophy and to practical things to do, arts, nature, religions, caring the world to a good state. I did not feel that math studies after schoolwould have had any use for anything. I have written my view about my mom's math talents in my Finnish blog http://pikakoulu.blogspot.fi

I am for healthy ways of living and doing, see my long list of advices about them http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2015/11/healthy-ways-of-living.html

" Kirjoituksiani Olen kirjoittanut muutamia kirjoituksia, joilla on kai maailmassa erityisesti väliä: * Ajattelukurssi http://pikakoulu.blogspot.fi/2011/11/ajattelukurssi.html : arkijärkisen objektiivisen ajattelun kurssi, lyhyt, helppo ja selkeä, opettaa kunnollisen ajattelukyvyn, jos katseleminen ja käytännön tekemiset kuten käsityöt ilman mielikuvitusta ja puutarhanhoito sujuvat taitotason puolesta ok, eli koulutetun tyyppinen objektiivinen ajattelu, joka on helppo pitää mukana myös muissa taidoissa ja elämässä laajemmin, mm kokonaiskuvallinen: rakenteet oikein hahmottava maisemakatse, mistä ajattelukurssi neuvoo tarkemmin, että miten. Tällä ajattelutyypillä mm määritelmäiä on helppo tehdä myös ei-niin-konkreettisissa asioissa: hahmottaa ne maisemakuvana ja määrittelee alueen kuin antaisi rakennusohjeita tuossa maisemassa. Tämän pitäisi olla ajattelun perusmuoto, vailla maneereja ja mielivaltaisuuksia. * Englanninkielinen kirjoitelma tulevaisuuden tietoko...

From my blog http://picturesfrommyhome.blogspot.fi/2018/02/other-links-to-my-texts.html "14.2.2018   Writing to the internet isn't just figuring out something and then writing it down, as if robbing your ideas from you or trying to fake that all is interesting to others. Instead it sis like coming to think many different thoughts, learning new things, having teaching skills and every now and then coming across something that has rpoduct like good qualities: Hey this is needed by many who are interested in these subjects, and I have the teachings skills for it too, so what about if I would make a blog post about it. And then if the flow of doing carries you too far, coming to think: Hey these are not exactly what is needed but those aree what people need, I will do those and drop these personal ones away."

I have thought of the things thta I write of on a general level, so they apply to all cases I can think of. If they do not apply to some person or group, I am not able to widen them to that group too. My texts suppose as a compulsory starting level the Finnish school education as it was in the '80's when I went to school. ('78 to '90) I do not have kids of my own, so I am not able to teach the starting leveö of respecting objective thinking, fact communication, basic responsibility and the like.

I was bprn 1971 and lived my childhood and as teenager and young adult inthe capital district of Finland, which is culturally very academical and work oriented, also inclined toward government and grass-root democracy. I wrote my books there and made most of my videos. In the summer 2009 I moved to Savonlinna in southern Savo in eastern Finland, which isculturally very different, oriented toward opera, art, summer cottage life, elderly, handiworks,religion, practicaöprofessions, travel and trade plus offering a holiday for the travelleras. First these we just possible areas of life for me but I looked at them from my old culture,maybe for three or four years so. Then during the next four years I have looked things increasingly from the points of view of this new local culture. And right now I came to think that maybe for half a year, since the summer 2017 I have looked at things so much fromthe view of Savonlinna, that my texts already should be classified as products of ways of livin...

I haven't been paid anything for my writing work, except together under 30 euros for my text about the far future of computers http://feelingcomputers. blogspot.fi/2011/08/far- future-with-computers-what- will.html , even though many of my texts are of very good quality and needed in the world, which is maybe easiest to notice in my thinking course http://quickerlearning.blogspot.fi . As far as know these are much above the normal Finnish academical skill level in objective thinking skills and very responsible too.

I was not a quick learner in school to begin with, in the first class, maybe on the three first classes, since the things were so new to me, but then got bored of the repetition and technical details, and overly bored in the last years of school, and college after that was just about torture, so mindless it was, when I would have been interested in practical things and art. If I remember right, school started in the middle of August, and I learned to read in the end of November. My mom used stuck school like ways to think, which maybe slowed my learning, while my own objective ways to think were like philosophy and skilled objective thinking with a picture of the whole, like the natural sciences bbut without experience in their studies. So I guess that three years of school would have made sense, six years still work out somehow, nine years much too much and twelve years just mindlessly torture like overly much.
