We have to learn to value research, respect evidence, and approach serious discussions with more honesty and discipline. Because at the end of the day, truth is not determined by who feels the strongest or speak loudest; it is determined by what can actually be examined, defended

[IHOON AONDONA NELSON @IhoonNelson]

HAS OUR SOCIETY STOPPED VALUING RESEARCH?

One thing that has really been bothering me is how easily people speak on serious matters with so much confidence, yet with so little concern for facts, evidence, or proper understanding.

[IHOON AONDONA NELSON @IhoonNelson]

The truth is, many people are more comfortable with what supports their feelings than with what challenges their assumptions. Because of that, emotion has now replaced reasoning in many conversations.
But if we truly want to grow as individuals and as a society, then we must beta

[IHOON AONDONA NELSON @IhoonNelson]

There is a difference between having an opinion and having an informed opinion. There is a difference between speaking from experience and speaking with understanding. Experience is useful, yes! But experience alone is not enough to explain broader realities.

[IHOON AONDONA NELSON @IhoonNelson]

Quick to speak, but slow to examine. Confident, but not necessarily informed.

That is not intellectual strength; that is what I call intellectual laziness.

[IHOON AONDONA NELSON @IhoonNelson]

In reality, one of the clearest signs of intelligence is knowing that your opinion alone is not always enough.

And sadly, this mindset is now even showing up among scholars and educated people. People are willing to argue, but not willing to verify.

[IHOON AONDONA NELSON @IhoonNelson]

What is even more worrying is how some people now behave as though using research or verified information in a discussion is unnecessary. As if checking facts means you are not thinking for yourself. But that is a very shallow way to think.

[IHOON AONDONA NELSON @IhoonNelson]

Research helps us move beyond assumptions, emotions, bias, and limited observations. It helps separate what is merely common around us from what is actually true on a wider scale. Not everything you repeatedly see around you is enough to explain society, human behavior, or issue

[IHOON AONDONA NELSON @IhoonNelson]

they assume that same pattern must automatically apply everywhere else.

But life does not work like that and this is exactly why research is important; it's what bridges the gap.

[IHOON AONDONA NELSON @IhoonNelson]

A lot of people now think that because they have seen something happen around them a few times, that is enough to conclude that it is a general truth. If they have observed a pattern in their neighborhood, among friends, in school, or within their immediate environment,

[IHOON AONDONA NELSON @IhoonNelson]

or close to what they have personally experienced; Once it agrees with what they already believe, they accept it quickly and defend it strongly. And that is dangerous; I mean very dangerous.

[IHOON AONDONA NELSON @IhoonNelson]

Everybody wants to have an opinion, but not everybody wants to do the work of actually knowing what they are talking about.

We are gradually building a society where many people no longer care whether something is true or not, as long as it sounds familiar,

[IHOON AONDONA NELSON @IhoonNelson]

Everything around us was engineered.
But have you ever thought about it?

I’m counting down 15 days to World Engineering Day to show why engineering shapes our lives every single day.

@Krystal_lus Makurdi Men can as well do this😭

[IHOON AONDONA NELSON @IhoonNelson]

Engineering is a gold mine! Just understand everything; from applications to theories, and then apply them into real life situation as well! LOCKED IN 🔒
