With YA about to close, who did you learn the most from in the Philosophy Section and what did you learn? ?
Favourite answer:Going back to earlier days there were some brilliant discussions under comments with some very well informed contributors and very different perspectives. The private messages (when they worked) built lasting friendships between people with shared interests and mutual respect outside the Y|A framework which will still continue.
Not only did they lay the foundations for new interests and ideas but emphasised the fragility and importance of the world which we temporarily inhabit.
Philosophy teaches us the love of wisdom we require to recognise and rise above the uglier aspects of our nature.
If the true philosophers here have inspired empathy and respect then it has indeed been time well wasted.

Why are "native Americans" called "native" when they aren't native to America at all?
I am a history major currently working on my phd in "Early Industrialization". Early Americans traveled from Asia and traveled across the land bridge between Asia and North America. So why do we insist on calling Indians native? This includes the tribal inhabitants of South America and Central America.

How To Write A Book?
I've been reading plenty of good books for years and love the stories I've read but I've been curious for a while now. How does one write a book and get it published like the popular authors of today like J.K. Rowling or Stephen King? I know they don't use type writers anymore and they use computers for that now. So tell me, if I was to write a book and all that. What are the complete list of things I need and what's the complete list of what I have to do in order to make that happen? It's kind of interesting.
