Start with the end in mind and work backwards. Determine what fundamental principles you will not deviate from, then find out what information supports and strengthens those principles, and go from there. The line connecting you to your anchor my sway around 360 degrees, but the anchor will stay in one place.

By doing this you will wash out 99% of the bullshit that attempts to make you move your anchor.

For example, take these four principles:

1. I believe that my KJV bible is the inspired word of God.
2. I believe that God is love, that the holy spirit and hate cannot exit in the same heart.
3. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross on Calvary to pay for my sins.
4. I believe that if confess, and repent of my sins, and if I believe on him, I will be saved.

Now lets consider the rash of news that has been coming out about UFO's and the existence of extraterrestrial life living among us. The internet is littered with information, some of it very convincing, that if believed would tend to shake me from standing firm on the above four principles. But these principles represent my anchor that will not move.

I do not need to spend time researching, or vetting information that contradicts my core principles.

An oath is like the setting of an anchor that cannot, should not be moved by opinion, or blown about by countervailing winds of information.

Rütli Oath:

No, there's a limit to the tyrant's power,
When the oppressed can find no justice, when
The burden grows unbearable-- he reaches
With hopeful courage up unto the heavens
And seizes hither his eternal rights,
Which hang above, inalienable
And indestructible as stars themselves --
The primal state of nature reappears,
Where man stands opposite his fellow man --
As last resort, when not another means
Is of avail, the sword is given him --

We want to be a single band of brothers,
Never to part in danger nor distress.
We want to be free, as our fathers were,
And rather die than live in slavery.
We want to trust in the one highest God
And never be afraid of human power
