Post subject:	Triple Filter Test
I saw this on another message board and just had to spread it around as it is a very tool.<br><br>In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. <br>One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about your friend?"<br><br>"Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."<br>"Triple filter?"<br><br>That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my<br>friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"<br><br>"No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."<br><br>"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not.<br>Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are <br>about to tell me about my friend something good?"<br><br>"No, on the contrary..."<br>"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him,<br>but you're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though, because <br>there's one filter left: the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to<br>tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?"<br><br>"No, not really."<br><br>"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true <br>nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"<br><br>This is why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.truepath.com/tsukikage/MeSS.JPG" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">"Hashiriya are lonely drivers so, we do not need girlfriends."</div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

No, that's why Socrates is an annoying twit that works in circle logic. :) I've read some excepts of the stuff written by Plato of Socrates' talks and debates... my god, they are so annoying and prove nothing. I'm not surprised the Athenians killed him, really. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">Run, rabbit run<br>Dig that hole, forget the sun,<br>And when at last the work is done<br>Don't sit down it's time to start another one</div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub19.ezboard.com/btenchimuyo79943.showUserPublicProfile?gid=deathbeforedishonor>DeathBeforeDishonor</A> at: 3/15/03 10:28:17 am<br></i>

It stops gossip. And that's the bottom line, 'cause Socrates said so. (That's a wrestling joke, fans will get it) <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.truepath.com/tsukikage/MeSS.JPG" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">"Hashiriya are lonely drivers so, we do not need girlfriends."</div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

Of course, even the most extreme of extremists can make quite rational and logical arguements, but that doesn't mean that he's not an annoying prat. :) <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">Run, rabbit run<br>Dig that hole, forget the sun,<br>And when at last the work is done<br>Don't sit down it's time to start another one</div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

I'm not saying he's all that. I can't pass judgment on any man. I'm just saying the triple filter test is pretty nice. Shall I edit the last few lines of reverence out? I didn't write the dang thing. I just copied it and pasted it here. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.truepath.com/tsukikage/MeSS.JPG" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center">"Hashiriya are lonely drivers so, we do not need girlfriends."</div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>
