Default Min's Planetary Awareness Technique - Chapter 13 Part 20

I would like to repeat (with a few modifications) a reply to an
earlier post in this vein, which perhaps you missed:

You frequently use words like "learning" and "education". Since you
are so interested in learning, I would like to suggest the following
learning opportunities for you:

(1) Learning to confine your remarks to *relevant* newsgroups. This
is a science newsgroup; nobody here is interested in astrology, your
beliefs on ancient texts, etc. Those who are, participate in
alt.astrology and so on. I have snecked headers for all but this
newsgroup, because they are presumably not interested in my reply.

(2) Learning from your mistakes. For example, you predicted that by
now New York City would be destroyed by a nuclear explosion, and that
much of the world's population would be dead of SARS. Perhaps you are
too busy crossposting to off-topic newsgroups to have noticed that
neither has happened. Or did I miss your admissions of error?

(3) Learning from people who are competent in a particular technical
area. For example, you cling to the conviction that the Apollo
landings were fake, even though your claims have all been thoroughly
debunked - in fact, since they are basically rehashes of other
paranoid conspiracy theorists' material, they were debunked *before*
you posted them here (and other NGs).

(4) Learning that your superior opinion of yourself as a font of
wisdom does not automatically impress most people on this newsgroup.
Respect for your claims has to be earned (well, not in today's
hypercredulous world - but it *should* be).

(5) Learning that the most detailed volume of work may be incorrect,
or may be correct in the details but wildly wrong or simply
irrelevant.

Just a few suggestions. There *is* a lot to learn, if you are
willing.
