Of course, good sense and good judgment are defined by what people practice when they agree with you. It's sometimes difficult to understand why people disagree with you. These seemingly simple abilities of good sense and good judgment come through long experience in wrestling with the complexities of life. CU has given you a gentle, small push toward wisdom, toward disciplined, rational thinking and now, it's up to you. You're on your own.
Wisdom is impaired and extinguished by mental inattention, indifference and laziness.
When such behaviors become habit, they produce bias, prejudice, tunnel vision and preconceived notions of truth. I relate the crippling effect of mental inattention in scientific research by a personal experience I had years ago when I was a graduate student at the University of California in Berkeley. One of my fellow students needed to develop an assay for the activity of an enzyme in embryonic cells, an enzyme called DNase. The strategy was simple, grind up some cells, which contain DNase, add a known amount of DNA, wait a while, isolate any DNA that was left and see how much of the DNA had been destroyed. A simple idea.
