AGE has no real relevance in truly confirming the biological status of a human..eg. an 20 yr old may have the biological disposition of a 45yr. old n vice versa, and TIME is actually absent and of no relevance in eternity.
Both these factors are just made by man for convenience and order.

I would suggest you study the term "non sequitur " if you expect to be taken seriously.

watch it or i will bring out the carbon dating machine!

we are machines. we wear out over time. you can tell a
person's age by their teeth, skin, brain or any other part
of the body.

but it's ok. because there are more important things than
how old your brain is...like how you use it. so, once in
a while use it like a 6 year old and stay young!

If I were a 12 year old pretending to be an adult online, I would be focused on questions like this.

That is correct.

"AGE has no real relevance in truly confirming the biological status of a human..eg. an 20 yr old may have the biological disposition of a 45yr. old n vice versa, and TIME is actually absent and of no relevance in eternity.

YES/NO"

AGE ... and TIME ... are not logically connected in this context but to a 12 year old would seem to be mysterious and connected.

"TIME is actually absent" is nonsense as are "factors made by man" as no mentioned concept is made by man except maybe the language misused to describe it.

The irony is that the value of maturity being discounted in this and similar posts is highlighted and is so very lacking in the formulation of the concepts.

A 20 years may indeed have the biological status (whatever the hell that is) of a 45 year old (ED perhaps?) but it ain't happen' here!)

Is criticism a trait that is more dominant in the highly educated, and if so... how can one overcome this trait and be able to teach without humiliation???

Metalwink,
Maturity ,wisdom ,knowledge is not gained by aging, but rather with experiences....eg. a donkey constantly doing the job of a horse begins to think he is a horse..but the fact is that he is a donkey.laugh

I think there is no direct link between criticism and education. However, part of wisdom and maturity is derived from pattern recognition which does come with education, time of reflection, and experience. This thread is one of a series where a definite pattern has been established. A rather extensive effort by many to teach has been ignored. In this case IMO the use of humor is appropriate.

In order to learn one must respect the source of knowledge. When one shows no respect and, in fact, displays large amounts of arrogance combined with misuse of language and cultural norms, one does indeed invite ridicule. Serious inquiries are rapidly separated.

This is Mingle, not a college classroom. If some of the questions posed herein were posed in a classroom, the probability of ridicule would approach 100%.

The old adage of "There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers." falls apart when certain attitudes of the asker are exposed.

Great indeed are words of wisdom....but sadly none originating from you...however keep trying..u might really succeed in finally saying something relatively sensible...besides that :
Your irrelevant co-relation of other threads in helping u reach a senseless conclusion on the topic of discussion ...continues to amuse me.

I'm taking this as a general question, not related to this thread:

It doesn't look that way to me. I see more cases in these threads where the un-educated are gratuitously critical of others. On the whole, the educated seem to be patient and polite, and often (too often?) simply keep their mouths shut rather than argue with fools.

To paraphrase a quote I like:

Experience is what allows even a donkey to recognize the same mistake when they make it again...

If nobody minds, I'm just going to go be 5 today. It's a heck of a lot more fun than being 50.
