use book explanations base on what researchers say base on critics base on what learn in school not exactly sure

Why do you think there is no OPINION in Part Three? It is because before we rely on our own opinion, we rst rely on something else to learn. It is the time when we actually master the topic that we can formulate our own opinions.

Some other learnings, comments, connections... I learned that I usually accept most things then deliberate which is better through the ways of knowing. I dont think most things are equal or that one is truly and naturally better.
