Sylvia: Rob, when you mentioned the the term fauxparadox, it reminded me of the classic "chicken or the egg" dilemma. But with modern evolutionary biology, we understand that it's more of a fauxparadox since birds evolved from reptiles, suggesting the egg came first.
Rob: Exactly, Sylvia! It's fascinating how many things we perceive as paradoxes can be clarified with a bit more knowledge or a different perspective. People attach too much weight to what they think is a paradox, when what you have to do is try to solve it with more observation and the scientific method. Most paradoxes are simply hard problems and thought experiments. A Fauxparadox is a playground for grifters the naïve and fools.

Get the Stratatactics mug.We think therefore we are. in Latin. Akin to "Cogito Ergo Sum" from Descartes, but expanded to how communities think and change. Confablamur was used as a term for conversation. This is where the English term confab comes from no doubt. Shakespeare did not coin it.
"Confablamur ergo sumus" , remember that Sarah, we have gone way beyond , "I think therefore I am" . Thinking and not conversing with your peers is like listening to one hand clapping. Good luck with that zester.
