All I'm saying is: you will be shocked by how much you thought you knew turns out to be absolute BS upon investation. The fact that you realize you may have been brainwashed is the first step in recovering from being brainwashed. Many do not recognize that they have been brainwashed.

Do you question your "preconceived biases" or do you just go about it? Reading your normal sources of info? i try, however i am human so it is not completely unavoidable. in terms of politics, do try to read items that go against what i believe, such as WaPo and NYT articles. i will say though that the older i get, the less i want to put up with nonsense from the Left. 35 minutes ago, Tiberius said: ...No, the truth is anathema to you, obviously.

I believe every MSM on the left or right has an agenda. Our job as a citizen of this country is to recognize what that agenda might be and decide for yourself if you think it's true or if it's a lie. Unfortunately the press in this country can blatantly lie and not have to deal with any repercussions. Believe only half of what you see and none of what you hear is a good motto to live by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the press in this country can blatantly lie and not have to deal with any repercussions. Believe only half of what you see and none of what you hear is a good motto to live by. My views align with much of what you say. My basic premise of human behavior is everyone acts out of their own self-interest. So politicians, activists, do-gooders, and others aren't acting out of duty to serve the people, or helping those in need, or ending injustices. They are acting to enhance their own power, or wealth,, or status, or some other benefits. If what agenda they're pushing gets them there its not important what consequences or problems they cause for others. I view all these social movements, political causes, and other "end world hunger" type people as con artists. Professional liars. The people I admire and value are those that have their own convictions and mind their own business. The other thing about what you believe is how much credibility you assign to the messenger. And how much first-hand, expert, or other types of knowledge and experience you might have about the subject. My advice, be skeptical but open-minded, think critically, ask questions, get other views, identify the motivation of others, always be wary of people that are certain they are correct (including me!)

I ask because it seems to me that the masses of humanity are enslaved by BELIEF. As in, they believe what they're told without questioning. I'm both the most scientific and spiritual person you will ever meet, but none of it has to do with belief. I don’t believe you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
