let me dissect:
free radical;In chemistry, radicals (often referred to as free radicals) are atoms, molecules or ions with unpaired electrons on an otherwise open shell configuration.These unpaired electrons are usually highly reactive, so radicals are likely to take part in chemical reactions. Radicals play an important role in combustion, atmospheric chemistry, polymerization, plasma chemistry, biochemistry, and many other chemical processes, including human physiology.
your unbounded and highly reactive.
Thinker:Critical thinking is the careful, deliberate determination of whether we should accept, reject, or suspend judgment about a claim and the degree of confidence with which we accept or reject it.It is a purposeful and reflective judgment about what to believe or what to do in response to observations, experience, verbal or written expressions, or arguments.
this is the most important thing not being taught across our campuses today
Free thinker:Free-thought is a philosophical viewpoint that holds that beliefs should be formed on the basis of science and logic, and should not be influenced by authority, tradition, or any other dogma. The cognitive application of freethought is known as freethinking, and practitioners of freethought are known as freethinkers.
We might add emotion to this as well that is why there is little of this going on today as well
Radical:as in the radical movement-The term Radical (from the Latin radix meaning root) was used during the late 18th century for proponents of the Radical Movement. It later become a general term for those favoring or seeking political reforms which include dramatic changes to the social order. Historically, early radical aims of liberty and electoral reform in Great Britain widened with the American Revolution and French Revolution so that some radicals sought republicanism, abolition of titles, redistribution of property and freedom of the press
So yes your Jeffersonian reference was right on the mark
Radical thinking: a revolutionary, top-to-bottom/bottom-to-top reassessment of how things operate.
Free Radical Thinkers was a group of student from a wester Ill campus that decided to cut to the chase of what They expected from their time in collage.Many of the members eventually "dropped out" or spent time wondering back in and out of collage because they realized that there time and money spent at collage was not producing what they wear paying for,a true education.
I had forgotten about it's general purpose until i believe it was you shooter who reminded me of it earlier this week.
