Then he has his minions repeat and amplify those lies. Then he repeats and amplifies those lies.<br /><br />As to who will arbitrate this clusterfuck, we have to be responsible for our own lives.<br /><br />We need to review and further our notions of critical thought. We need to have discussions about what facts and truth and clear thought are. Now will need to navigate synthetic spokespersons. It probably will not be as hard as we might fear.<br /><br />We need to motivate and encourage ourselves not to get stuck in our fatigue and laziness.<br /><br />We need to have faith in ourselves not to get weighed down by our and feelings of cynicism and of hopelessness.<br /><br />We will need to learn about Con Games and the people who initiate them. We we need to learn how not to be marks. <br />Andy Shizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15215297395548845513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-34630294652785805022018-07-03T10:27:09.747-04:002018-07-03T10:27:09.747-04:00Folks seem to rely on belief and eschew the search...Folks seem to rely on belief and eschew the search for fact. The best facts used to be those personally observed, until someone doubts their memory or ponders the intent of what they've heard, perhaps poorly spoken and unclear. In my experience, what seems obvious to me is interpreted differently by others. A case in point would be the Kalama sutra that I took to mean take nothing on faith but see for yourself. And yet I've heard it argued as proof that ol'buddha man was making a case for faith somehow. I have to doubt that what one would call a fact has anything to do with what someone will believe.<br />olcharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309255390011851502noreply@blogger.com
