One phenomenon I’ve noticed is that many people, perhaps most, outsource their opinions to a single media personality they admire, whether it's Rachel Maddow, Bari Weiss, Sam Harris, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, Joe Rogan, or countless others.
This energy-saving mechanism—mimicking the opinions of someone you generally agree with—is efficient but also a form of idolatry.
Better to form one’s own opinions from multiple sources and reserve judgment on issues you haven't explored than to blindly adopt another's views. In short, don't turn your favorite media figure into your personal lord and savior. https://image.nostr.build/1d4336f2b924fe220dafdbb50064f61becacb1f9e31d1f49238f07a2a85a835e.jpg
100%. critical thinking is the only way, there is no second option.
Most are afraid of saying “idk” and risk being seen as uninformed…
There is power in being able to confidently say you don’t have an opinion formed yet!
That is true. You must verify all info and come to your own conclusion. Question everything.
