The first rule of a truly intelligent person is to believe in nothing and no one. Don't believe anything you see, hear, or read. Until you've critically analyzed the matter with your own mind, don't take anything for granted. Remember that idiots run in packs and are livestock of someone who manipulates them for their own benefit.

@cesarpose This is the rule that gives us vaccine refusal and climate denial. The world is incredibly complicated, and none of us has the time, brain capacity, or educational opportunity to understand more than a tiny fraction of it. We must have experts in whom we can place at least some of our trust. In fact, we must, and constantly do trust one another with our lives. Every moment of our lives.
@temporal_spider Obviously, you lack the ability. I'm not for or against anything. I just need to think clearly and evaluate reality. If you lack that ability, it's not my fault or anyone else's.The "anti" people in this world are just as stupid as the "pro" people.
