Must be pretty sad living a life consumed by paranoia fear and skepticism
Ha.!!
Mr conformity thinks he’s the brave one ???
You don’t have the courage to genuinely critical think or question authority so you convince yourself that those who do are ‘scared’ and‘paranoid’.
Makes sense ??
I don’t know you and you’re entitled to your opinion on things but do you know the definition of critical thinking? There is a big difference between critical thinking and questioning authority.
Yes I do.
Point being if you don’t see the importance of questioning authority, you can’t genuinely critical think.
Questioning authority doesn’t imply a preference of outcome. It’s simply a practical necessity for transparency, nothing more. Questioning doesn’t imply fault. Conformity without genuine scrutiny is naive if not ignorant. Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without attachment or prejudice and without fearing to consider or understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges and beliefs. Intelligence is not measurable by what you ‘know’, it’s an ability to question what you ‘know’.
Every great discovery was born from an ability and willingness to question ‘right’.
Authority should be subject to scrutiny as standard due diligence in identifying vested interests in an outcome. It’s essential to transparency.
When transparency is not supplied, there’s always a reason. Anyone who doesn’t accept that is either naïve or not willing to consider other possible outcomes.
If you don’t want to know then you don’t ask.
If others asking makes you uncomfortable that’s a reflection of you.
If you feel the need to lash out and negatively stigmatise them for asking, again that’s about you.
Maybe it’s a safety mechanism?
