There is a thin line between sanctuary and echo chamber.

@naval The scientific method is all about disproving, not approving. It inherently requires dissent of thought, which requires dissent of speech. Free speech is a free thinking issue.

Second-handed Scientism cares more about politics than it does facts.

@IllimitableMan Fears are like mushrooms: they only thrive when they are fed shit and kept in the dark.

Kill them when they are small by exposing them to the light.

You either feed the fear or use it to feed your experience of life. Fear always points the way to growth.

A parent has the desire to give his children what he himself did not have

However, children are in some ways afforded more opportunity through Poverty than through Wealth

@Mangan150 Be discerning about what you take into your body AND mind, for one is the other.

@dareandconquer Platitude: Formal education is not about knowledge it’s about teaching you how to think.

Reality: Formal education is about indoctrinating you into a belief system.

It’s a secular catechism.

[ATR @ActThinkRepeat]

Most politically outspoken people are so brazen with their opinions because they believe they have the moral high ground.

They often do not.

If you “must” engage, reflect their own rhetoric as an efficient response.

No, THAT’s racist
No, THAT’s bullying
No, THAT’s sexist

@AJA_Cortes The ROI on books is a Power Law distribution. The impact on your life from a truly great book - read at the right time - is so astronomical compared to its price it’s a joke.

And leave some room for serendipity so you can contemplate and savor the unexpected.

@nntaleb Negative comments are often the source of learning. While positive tends to reinforce, negative tends to force reconstruction where appropriate.

Threats perceived as physical risk are also threats to poor ideas. Evolution & thus rationality necessitate weighting to the negative.

@Kpaxs Your first reaction is who you were, not who you are going to be.

THREAD: Role models do the communities they profess to fight for an immense disservice by propping up straw man, systemic intangibles instead of sharing the principles they so obviously used to succeed.

@RealCandaceO The fact that people are enraged by the minutia of supposed acts of appropriation, while simultaneously being a-OK with letting others think for them.

How about some outrage over brain appropriation?!?

[ATR @ActThinkRepeat]

@naval @TahiGichigi @MonkeyCharts So politicians tried to rule the banks, but by acknowledging the bankers’ power & the people’s ignorance the politicians planted the seed.

Future:
Now people rule all the things.
Politicians create strawmen of the intangible to defend their status.
Bankers have been automated.

@mmay3r If you choose to identify with a group, you’re signaling that you’ve outsourced your higher order brain function to whoever or whatever is controlling that group.

If you don’t think for yourself you are easily swayed by the winds of power.

@Mangan150 A ponzi scheme of ideas.

Many who desire control over others have very little control over themselves.

Beware the person who wishes to regulate your behavior but can't seem to regulate their own.
