Hello all.

I am Harsha.

I am atheist that does go to the temple to worship knowledge.

I do intelligence.

That's for now.

Welcome.

Some of us, you know already.

Stroll about and have a look at the new place.

Don't worship knowledge.

Challenge it, frequently.

Stuff one gets comfortable "knowing" may change, as more is discovered about the world.

In primary school, I learned about Laportea gigas, and was comfortable with what I thought was knowledge.

What's even more embarrassing is that, when I "learned" that name in 1967, the taxonomy had already been updated.

If you're really going to "do" intelligence, expect to knock chunks off the world you know.

What is that acronym, and how does it sound that way?

Higher

[ref. Bloom's Taxonomy, re Educational Reform - Rudolf Steiner's models, etc.]

Sounds so because atheism is all about questioning, challenging notions and so on. And I like it...

That acronym might have been clearer if you'd given some context.

BTW, atheism is a void where god-belief might otherwise be.

Skepticism and any other intellectual questioning are not atheism.

And I wouldn't go too far backing Rudolf Steiner.
