When two fundamentalist powers fight, blame each other for the same crime, who will you support?
The side that supports my interest.
You have been indoctrinated about your interest and that you need protection; actually you don’t.
The voice wavered for a moment, “But yet, I can foresee who will rule the future.”
And that, my dumb friend, signals the end of independent, analytical thought. Do not blame any perpetrator of injustice ever again.

No single regime rules the day for long. That’s why we keep on thinking, keep on picking the best of both/all sides for our Vision Quest, yes?

When you find yourself not analyzing and examining both sides, and a third side if there is one, you’re getting sloppy and that’s when you become easy to deceive.

It’s depressing and distressing to witness the lack of critical thinking nowadays. Technology and social media has certainly had a hand in making older people forget about it. Young people? “What’s critical thinking?” Good Six, Reena!

Tools analyse trends and tell you where the wave is going. But those tools can read only what is written online, not what happens in sane minds who stay silent online.
