When I was younger I thought “wow if everyone believes that it must be true”

Now that I’m older I think “if everyone believes that it must be wrong”


Older I get, I do this a lot… https://image.nostr.build/33f929cb607893c1fa511f3e6357fba330b114d32f86b0f94150bdf85391319f.jpg

This resonates a lot with spirituality/knowing thy self in general. Realisations occur when you unlearn rather than learn so in a sense going against the general consensus can be deeply rewarding.


So true, I miss that blissed ignorance


A true contrarian.


One is the biggest red pills is realizing that you've been lied to concerning democracy.

Democracy robs freedom of choice from minorities and from individuals. Democracy is the biggest oppressor of all.

Unalienable rights and individual free agency is the liberator.

America is not a democracy ... although the socialists/Marxists have managed to convince most people that somehow America is a democracy.


Same for me, this may be a sign of wisdom...


Everyone believe there is a self! And most believe there is God🤣🤣🤣🤣


and “why is this psyop being run?”


I'm not sure I believe that statement...


Also, "what are they distracting me from this time?" I've embraced my tinfoil hat wearing self.


Neither has any bearing on truth. They're both equally wrong.


The road less traveled is full of satisfaction.


As you purchase your produce, meat, dairy, and eggs, watch the herd grazing in the middle aisles, and avoid them as much as possible.


I used to think this his way, until I realized that historically it’s accurate to say most of our widely held beliefs will be disproven over time. So no both heuristics are not equally wrong, that’s a midwit position.


people started to understand MSM is bullshit.
wait until they find out about MS history.


being out of step isn't bad at all


my step dad would always say to me "observe the masses and do the opposite"

ironically, he is one of the most conventional and compliant people I know. 😅

still, he's got some bloody good sayings though.


Yo influencer brah, you shoul start attributing all the shit you rip-off to the people who said it first.


critical thinking: use it or lose it ☺


The Orwellian daze is hopefully getting further behind us as the woke trends ware off; keep shining the light until the consensus is righteous again.

That is step one in discerning whether something is true. The masses are asses and are almost always wrong when they agree.🤷🏽♂


Everyone believes that we need to vote, doesn’t matter who you vote for, just vote, voting is so important.


Same, lotta dummies


Both scenarios are the same. External people defining how one thinks.


🤙 but I don’t know bro. I often wonder if that is just the equal and opposite error.

What we want to do, and of course you do this, is to think for ourselves independently about each issue on its own merits.

I heard a great quote the other day that “the hardest part about being a contrarian is knowing when not to be.”

And of course I know what you mean and agree with you…

That isn't what you said in the original post. You're watering it down into a different point, which is a pretty weak debate tactic. It's not the point I actually responded to, nor are you responding the actual point I made.

Even setting that aside, the number of people who believe a thing has no bearing on what reality actually is. It doesn't matter if the belief is in the affirmative or negative.

What is and isn't true exists independently of human perception. But we have to actually evaluate things independently to live life as intelligent beings as part of a society. Basing our evaluations on the number of people for or against a given position doesn't actually mean your belief is accurate or true.

You seem to think that truth is whatever the fewest people believe it is. That isn't necessarily going to lead to the truth. It's a ridiculous way of evaluating anything. Sometimes a minority is right, sometimes it isn't. There's no definite correlation.

Intelligence also has nothing to do with the topic and is not correlated with being right or wrong. Another weak tactic.

You’re misreading my original statement by taking it as an absolute. Which is fair because I didn’t clarify it fully. To put it succinctly I’m saying that my search for truth remains the same but the starting point has changed.

I’m not debating you so I’m not deploying tactics. Just sharing observations.
