On the backs of these ideas Darwin promoted ideas of natural selection and Einstein shook our common sense with Relativity. Religious systems of thought too adapted and changed with passing time and the ancient religions such as Hinduism and Judaism brought forth Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Sikhism. Indeed so successful have these religious systems been in bringing value and meaning to people's lives that the majority of the planet follows one of the religions mentioned. Thought and thinking are the defining elements of an examined life.
And so to return to the original question, dare you think? Have you considered your philosophy? Can you support your views? Do you understand the philosophy of others? The skills acquired in RMPS are the ultimate transferable skills because there can be no area of life- individual, family or employment- that cannot be enhanced by knowledge of humanity's most creative thoughts.
