Yes, and you need to accept that you may be wrong. You can discover this by discussing and exploring ideas, trying to convince others of what you already believe makes you closed off.
People act like whatever has been planted in their heads is the absolute truth. There is no absolute truth.
Agreed. But... and I need to be blunt about this, most people are too damn scared to step out of their comfort zone to accept any other "truth". This is why I can't bring myself to follow any particular religion. In other words, "normies" WANT to be controlled. They like it. That way they don't have to think for themselves.
Most people are cowards and even they can't bring themselves to admit it. The sad truth. 🤷♂️
Yeah that's true I agree it makes me think of all the people on the right alternative sub. Like I thought everybody wanted free speech but most people on the road at alternative sub want I rented alternative that's more restrictive and sensors ship happy
It's like in that Russian sleep experiment creepypasta, “We no longer want to be freed.”
(don't read this before bed btw lol)
It's like in 1984, "But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength. would have no need to conspire. They needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it?"
The "proles" never rise up against anything.
Yeah the realisation that it's possible that most people simply want to be controlled and absolved of any moral responsibility for their actions is a scary one. Covid times scared me. Not covid... The way people mindlessly complied.
"Covid times scared me. Not covid... The way people mindlessly complied."
This part right here. The fact that so many people are still adhering to mask requirements is somewhat unnerving. There are countless other issues, as well. But, that's a big one.
In NZ there were some leaked government conversations where they admitted that keeping masks going for so long was just a flex, it remind people that COVID's a thing.
