WIST Quotations May 29

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

When we believe ourselves in possession of the only truth, we are likely to be indifferent to common everyday truths. Self-deception, credulity, and charlatanism are somehow linked together.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 83 (1955)

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is an absurd one.

Letter (1770-11-28) to Frederick William, Prince of Prussia [tr. Tallentyre (1919)]

* 2020s U.S. Republican Party - allied with QAnon - has metastasized into a proto-religion
* behind the scenes Christian right/libertarian billionaires pull the strings.

Personally, i despise #psychology & #psychiatry!

It's for perfectly viable reasons, "they" are called a TYPE 2 kind of #science! One that doesn't bother with FACTS! One that's impeded by laws! There is NO legal #freeSpeech!

In MY biography, THEIR influence has NOT been BENEFICIAL!

In my not so humble opinion, those "certified professionals", are just camouflaged Christian oppressors/henchmen/henchwomen!

(frell off, Scientology …i won't even!)

Was das #Mobbing, wie es von z.B. mastodon.art, xim.ca, mstdn.social und deren Freaks mit einem machen können: https://tly.be/pbOoe

Das Fediverse ist kein Safe-Space. Für niemanden, wenn Personen wie WelshPixie, Alex, Schratze oder Rysiek jemanden mit ihren Lügen bis hin zu Suizidgedanken treiben!

I've not planned to translate the text to English. If you need it in another language, use deepl.com and NOT Google Translate!
