Section 9 group 2 Philosobeast

Yesterday in class  we were asked a series of discussion questions and our group, the philosobeast, had some thoughts on each question. The first question asked was, 'is it possible to know the truth without challenging it first?' We discussed this question and amongst our confusion we thought that we all have differing thought processes and we think that our thought process IS the challenge. Our next question was what was our ideal thinking path and we all had our own path, some said the beach, some said the woods, others said somewhere with solitude. We were then asked if walking is helpful for the mind to process thoughts and ideas. The philosobeast said walking helps us be a better thinker, that sitting down confines our thoughts rather than walking around and taking in the scenery that may remind us of something and one thought leads to another. We had a very productive talk in group discussions yesterday!
