But how can you tell and keep it separate?
Also, this statement is obviously a rearrangement of prejudices.

I don't know what William James is talking about. My prejudices have been pretty consistent over the years. "Hobgoblin of small minds?" You anti-goblin racist!

Recently I made a concious decision to stop reading threads started by Grand Magus. Apparently I may have rearranged a few of my prejudices.

Wouldn't rearranging you're prejudices involve thinking?

How do you define "thinking" ?

Actually, from my passing knowledge of psychology, I'd say that a great number of people think they are thinking when they are merely reenforcing their current prejudices. I will, however, gladly stipulate that there's no zealot like a convert.
Hell, everyone thinks they're thinking; only the really insightful people can realize their own biases, so it's the smart ones who deny their intelligence.
Not me, though: I'm smart, and level-headed, and clear-minded, and unbiased. Oh, and modest; mostly modest. :P

I have no pretensions: I'm usually just fantasizing about sex.
Reptilian brain for the win!
My prejudices are arranges in whatever order makes me "win" a message board "heated discussion."
An interesting topic. I find it to be quite true sometimes, but not true just often enough to avoid adopting it as a world view. As a world view its too jaundiced for my liking.

This too, makes me think.

Not really, but I see the futility. Plus I have better things to do then waste my breath on deaf ears. I inform them of their delusional state and go about my day.
See I actively recognize my prejudices and try to break them as much as I can. However the process isn't quick or easy. So it has been an ongoing process in my life.
I don't know what to think of this.

I know it's read and not heard as well as written and not said. Just doesn't have the same ring to it. Besides you knew what I meant.

Funny story. So I have Siri on my iPhone. She won't do as she's told!
Test your ideas against reality, and against other people for consistency.

My brothers talking car tried to kill me. Seriously, my cousin and I were in my brothers car and were telling it to do various innocuous things (radio on, etc). Instead of doing what it's told it locked the car doors, rolled up the windows, and turned the heater to full (in MS in june). My cousin looked at me and said "What are you doing, Dave?"
