Nice!!

My wife thinks that staying in her lane is somehow virtuous. No, that’s how you get run over. The struggle is real.

Thats what all good lemmings do & they seem fine

until they jump

Its intellectual laziness for any that do have the cognitive capacity.

Just following the herd. Baa Baa Baa...

I am glad that I had the awareness to avoid being pavlovized by the mis-educational system.

Is there some acronym we can come up for this because almost tldr. LoL

Don't fully agree.

It's impossible for one person to know everything, and knowledge is passed on by people across all different fields of study and experience for future generations.

It's fine to believe the scientific findings in any given field. It's also fine -- and integral -- to challenge those findings if they don't add up.

The problem was never the direct belief in "the science". The problem is how we've been manipulated into attacking each other for differing beliefs.

The problem is also that those scientific findings are obfuscated or fraudulently recorded as a positive for a given agenda, and the incestuous "peer review scientific community" is given copious benefits for staying in their lane and agreeing with the findings, while those who challenge it have their funding revoked, their licenses revoked, and their right to privacy / personal liberties revoked.

Thinking critically is about using the information you have to make a conclusion.

The information is fraudulent, the media, world governments and "experts" suppress -- through one method or another -- anything that goes against their intended narrative.

In these scenarios, thinking critically can still lead you to the opposite conclusion from what many of us believe. That is fine. But thinking critically means that there is an open invitation to challenge you with further or alternative information, and then using that information to either revise your beliefs or maintain your beliefs.

Instead, we've seen people be pushed to ignore all other information that challenges their beliefs, so they cannot move past their manipulated biases, because we have a few generations alive today that were taught that they can't be wrong, and a challenge to their beliefs is a personal insult to their intelligence when it doesn't have to be. We have seen the cultivation of authoritarian worship, with too many kissing the feet and hanging on the words of those who lord over them.

It's not just about critical thought. Critical thought does not always lead to the right conclusions.

It's much deeper than that.

Well said sir!

That second one has too many big words for most public school graduates who we've also doped up for decades with anti-depressants and benzos.

Name should be “The Nomad Monad”

Great way of putting it by not blared out, "You people are too stupid to think for yourself."

Or: "I don't want to take responsibility for bad things that happen to me, so I'll just blame the "experts" if I follow their advice and it wrecks my life."

This doesn’t apply to the med pros

"So, you're saying you trust the 'experts' because they know shit. But you're also saying that you know enough shit to determine whether the experts know their shit. ('Cause if they didn't know their shit, you would be a total fool.) But if you know that much shit, aren't you better than an expert? So, why do you need experts anyway?"
