A & Q : Religion, politics, learning and teaching

Religion

Religion is faith in something that explains everything for you.

Politics

Politics exists in every social situation.

Politics is an explanation of motivation; a narrative for actions; a sense of purpose; a guiding light.

Religion provides you the ultimate goal of these politics.

How can you employ a politics of superiority with a lack of true understanding as to WHY your opponents face you?
That is, how can you be audacious enough to assume superiority in a social situation without an acceptance that the existence of your opponent's opposition is in and of itself something that is interesting?

Learning

How can we proceed an argument without a genuine spirit of learning?

Doesn't there exist a science and art - an agreeable model and methodology of shared experience - to learning?

Isn't it imperative to teach this 'learning science'?

Teaching

How can we possibly expect good education to take place when there exists a systemic culture of ignorance (because ignoration is not a word)? That is, how can you be encouraged to learn from someone who is not encouraged to learn you?

Isn't good teaching at the fundamental level, good learning too?

Isn't it imperative to teach teaching to teach learning?
