Since I started paying attention in the nineties as an athiest lefty, I have reversed my thinking on nearly everything I know. Here are my new positions:
The world is run by a few evil people who wish to reduce the population drastically.
Socialism is only for the purpose of subjugation and control.
Man never set foot on moon.
All wars directed by elite for personal power gain.
Free energy exists (for possible example cold fusion, zpe).
Hidden cancer cures exist.
Oil isn't a fossil fuel and is created in an abiotic reaction.
Climate change emergency isn't real.
The cabal are actively poisoning population (eg. fluoride, glyphosate).
The cabal are trying to homogenize culture and ethnicity and destroy family and tradtition.
All religions and all governments, all corporations and all important NGOs are cabal infiltrated .
Mainstream media is entirely cabal brainwashing.
Organ harvesting is widespread.
Child and women trafficking is widespread.
Evil is real.
Sadistic ritual killing by cabal members is occurring.
The future can be known.
The universe is sentient (my equivalent of God exists)
Finally and most importantly:
There are white hats as well as black hats and NCSWIC
What a headf**k!
The biggest thing I discovered is that we don't actually know anything.
For instance, I "knew" Trump was an idiot - until I did some independent research. Then I discovered that he was almost a modern folk hero until he went down that escalator. Then it dawned on me that everything I know about famous people, politicians, scientists, foreign places - even places more than 20 miles from home - etc is dispensed to me via the media. What if they are not 100% truthful?
It's time for my favourite quote again:
“It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.”
― Mark Twain
Many of those old-timers had it all worked out, didn't they.
That is probably what Ronald Regan based his version on.
We just have to learn it all over again!
I surf science-related sites often and can tell you that Science learns something every single day that overturns a theory or belief they were CERTAIN of just the day before. It's not rare; it really is a daily happening. The cornerstone of wisdom (well, ONE cornerstone) is understanding that all knowledge is provisional and that no one ever knows everything, even about a limited topic.
