Folks,

Since so many seem interested in philosophy and religion, I suggest you take a course and be professionally tutored. Too many people are misguided and don't know where to start and recklessly use the terms existence, reality, ontology, epistemology, etc. At least then we'll be on the same page. It makes you a better person and humbles you.

Oxford offers 100 courses online over a wide range of subjects. It lasts 10 weeks, costs 285 pounds (Rs 18,000) and gets you 10 credits. All you have to do is spend 2 hours a day reading the course material, buy and read one book, write 2 assignments of 500 and 1,000 words each. It is compulsory that you post in their forums and demonstrate your understanding of each topic. One post is expected every day. And no, you don't have to go to London. London comes to you!

If you can read this post and use the internet, you are qualified to take the course.

I suggest you take Philosophy and Mathematics. Start with the easy ones like Ethics, then proceed with the next. You can take a course for the rest of your life as I intend to!

People from all over the world take these courses and you'll get to meet them in the forums. They are all accomplished persons, some from the finest universities.

No, you don't get to be a professor, but you'll at least start to talk intelligently. And discover how wrong and backward you have been!

Please pass this information around.
