Publisher's Synopsis
Introduction I was born in Texas. This book "The Hands & Mind of Therlee Gipson" is about detailed pencil drawing, thinking and writing about ideas that came to my mind that would contribute something to advance humanity. I, myself have always wondered how everything was created? I was intrigued about everything in the Universe and began to think how it all happen. That is why I like to write. My father bought a sketch pad back from the U. S. Navy a friend gave him. From that day on I wanted to become a detail pencil artist, later I became a non fiction writer. The intellectual is a specific variety of the intelligent, which unlike the general property, is strictly associated with reason and thinking. Many everyday roles require the application of intelligence to skills that may have a psychomotor component, for example, in the fields of Human Rights and equality, but these do not necessarily involve the practitioner in the "world of ideas." The distinctive quality of the intellectual person is that the mental skills he or she demonstrates are not simply intelligent, they focus on thinking about the abstract, philosophical and esoteric aspects of human inquiry and the value of their thinking. The truth is, all might be free if they valued freedom, and defended it as they ought. Freethought holds that individuals should not accept ideas proposed as truth without recourse to knowledge and reason. Thus, freethinkers strive to build their opinions on the basis of facts, scientific inquiry, and logical principles, independent of any logical fallacies or the intellectually limiting effects of authority, confirmation bias, cognitive bias, conventional wisdom, popular culture, prejudice, sectarianism, tradition, urban legend, and all other dogmas. Regarding religion, freethinkers hold that there is insufficient evidence to support the existence of supernatural phenomena. Blacks were captured in Africa over four hundred years ago and bought to America and held in Slavery, then freedom under bondage and racial segregation until they were finally set free in 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, the real hero. Please read the quote: "When role models are presented in a positive way, it will decrease resentment and inferiority from being breaded into a people. When a people discovers positive contributions their forebears contributed to Society, it gives hope and pride to them; then they can grasp what the color of Black really means." Freedom of the mind and creativity for all humans is the ultimate goal for advancing humanity throughout the entire World for the betterment of all mankind to live in peace and harmony for all generations to come forever.
