TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

It's another beautiful, sunny morning ☀️ cool but nice enough outside in my Green Space 🍃 to sit for a while and contemplate the silence. 🏞 I genuinely believe that we were guided and blessed to have found this place to spend the rest of our retirement life. I'm happy here. And if I have a mind to, family is not that far to visit; they are all within a couple of hundred miles of here. Like I said yesterday, if Trumpo the fat 😡 💩 🧳 is thinking about putting Canadians in concentration camps,👮⚔️🗝🛖🛖🛖🛖 he will save a lot of money on us, he would only need one tent. ⛺️ We'll bring out our own complete with a woodstove 🪵🎛 in it.

Well, that will be enough babbling, better get that supply of whiskey, put on the sunglasses, bring the umbrella, and oh! Don't forget the picnic blanket to put under the old oak tree on top of the hill. "Paula! Please don't forget to bring out the boom box, the fiddle, and glasses, thank you. "NOW WE'S A' READY TO HAVE A PARTY WHEN THE FIREWORKS BEGIN!"

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

Thinking vs Reasoning

Thinking is one thing; reasoning is a very different critter altogether. It can be deceiving what could pop out of that box when you open it. Be careful when you open the box, eh!

You can think this and think that. Still, all that thinking without any confluence or integration and connection of *thoughts* is just a jumble, like word salad, or the output of an AI robot after one of its backup memory bank chips just got sublimated into atoms. Now it can only skip around back and forth at the point of default in its memory banks.

The result of such faulty processing is much like the TV commercial for Lavazza Coffee featuring the little robot that delivers cups of coffee and makes the mistake of sipping it. The result is kind of shocking to say the least! In its damaged state, lacking guidance, it will keep bouncing off the walls, indefinitely, like in - The Wondrous Toy - Christmas Song by PETER PAUL AND MARY.

I hope that clears up the picture somewhat, along with a bit of humor ♪♫♭ 🫧😊

Thinking vs Reasoning

Thinking is the broad, general process of using your mind to produce ideas, thoughts, and memories, while reasoning is a more specific type of thinking that uses logic and existing information to draw conclusions and solve problems. All reasoning is a form of thinking, but not all thinking is reasoning because thinking can be subjective, emotional, or illogical, like dreaming, while reasoning is always structured and logical.

Reasoning about what is right or wrong is a process of moral reasoning, which involves critically analyzing actions in terms of principles, duties, or societal norms. This process is influenced by a combination of logic, emotions, personal beliefs, and external factors, and can lead to subjective or conflicting conclusions depending on the individual and the situation. Philosophers and psychologists study moral reasoning, with different ethical theories like deontology or utilitarianism providing frameworks for making decisions.

That's it for my preach for today, thank you for reading the Tree House News.

And here is another instance of insanity, not just putting more people on the streets without assistance or any aid, like food, shelter, and medical help, Like I can rememebr vividly the stories about people just to die along with the cattle and other farm animals. Even dead people on the side of the road, or railroad tracks. I guess you flag-wavers with the funny cross want those days of suffering through the terrible droughts of the great depression.

That's not to mention the aftermath of the Second World War in wartorn Europe. Now it is about to return to the days without any aid, and care to keep body and soul together, and to add to misery, no medical care. IS THIS WHAT YOU, THE YOUNGER GENERATION, WANT FOR A FUTURE? More tin can g-d dictators. Knuckle-dragging geniuses, note on door says, IQ' NOT HOME! Come Back Later.

Carney mum on whether he saw Ontario's anti-tariff ad beforehand

PMO says there will be no further comment on the Ontario government ad that derailed U.S. trade talks

The question of whether or not the prime minister and his chief of staff saw and approved — either directly or tacitly — an Ontario government anti-tariff ad that set off U.S. President Donald Trump followed Mark Carney to Singapore on Tuesday. The Prime Minister's Office said there would be no further comment on the television ad, which last week led to the meltdown of sectoral trade negotiations with the United States.

Speaking on background, a senior federal official continued to place the responsibility for the marketing campaign on the government of Ontario Premier Doug Ford, despite the prime minister’s assurance that Ottawa is in charge of negotiations...

Trade deal or no trade deal, China still holds crucial minerals leverage over U.S.

Carney says he's not spoken to Trump since trade talks scuttled — but door remains open

Which industry in each province is most threatened by tariffs?

As U.S. negotiations hit another snag, taxes on Canadian exports pile up

Before U.S. President Donald Trump terminated trade negotiations with Canada late Thursday night, premiers were clashing over which tariff-beleaguered industries should be prioritized.

With Ontario’s auto industry pitted against the canola industry of the prairies, and B.C. raising concerns that the lumber industry is not getting the attention it deserves, Team Canada was looking increasingly splintered. Trump's latest actions have resulted in a more united front across provincial borders. But as tariffs remain, so do those underlying tensions...
