@Elijah create a network of youtubers you trust and always remember to ponder what they're saying and thinking it over yourself to arrive at a logical conclusion that makes sense also remember to try and debunk your own arguments. that's how I get by

Also, reasonable opposition

Or a few wackos that represent a community consensus

I've found two massive issues that have simply been lied about for the most part now.

First the preponderancy of false rape accusations.

Second AGW

Hi, new here

saying a quick hello

hello

enjoy your stay

I always break it down to what is fact and what is bs

thanks!

but it takes practice

what's AGW?

Anthropogenic Global Warming

I believe

Affirmative

fair enough

Fancy speak for man-made global warming

What's amazing is that the large majority of people who say they think they think for themselves are full of BS>

They think it because their favorite media outlet said it.

"I think for myself" = "I listen to smart people talk"

And the people who do think for themselves are labelled alt-right.

then what is true free thought?

more like increase the number of sources and cross check and a little thonk

listening to both sides and arriving at your own conclusion?

if you dissent with your media you're thinking for yourself

You know that feeling when you're strianing your head between two thoughts, and you don't know the answer, and no one else does either?

yes of course

all the time

That's thinking for yourself

I do that with religion a lot these days..

I acctualy have a hard time reading politics books because it only takes a few pages for me to figure out the thread of logic they're building their argument on

You know, I used to be part of the large number of atheistic Jews

@Harazu Keshtah You want some good shit?

I got ebooks

after years of being convinced by my family and some online personalities , I finally changed my mind on that

It really does take a lot of time to change your mind on some issues

I find political issues usually just boil down to the question of more freedom / less government control or more government control / less freedom.

@Fitzydog I just recently ordered a few books that I'm very excited to read
