Think for Yourself

Why is it important to think for yourself? Why is it important to question authority? It’s important to think for yourself because you are the only person you can trust will be honest with you. You question authority because their authority is only an illusion and they need to be watched no matter how much you trust them.

Think for yourself

If you don’t think for yourself, who will? Who will be your voice? Who will make sure that you are getting what you need and want? No matter what any one else says, no matter how many times they have been honest with you, no matter how much they have to lose with being dishonest with you… they cannot be trusted as much as you can trust yourself. You will know when you are lying (at least I hope so), and you will know when you are telling the truth (I also hope so). Thinking for yourself doesn’t mean that you should never listen to anyone else, it just means that you just don’t take what someone merely asserts is true as the truth. Does this mean that you don’t respect their opinion? Not in itself. Maybe you do, maybe you don’t. But you don’t have to do or just believe in what ever other people tell you in order to respect their opinion.

To respect someones opinion do this: listen to what they say, use knowledge to determine how true the statement might be then make a decision about how you will react to the statement. If you do these three things then you are respecting what they have to say while still respecting yourself. There is no one else in the world more qualified to make judgments for yourself than you.

Question authority

Now I know it seems like it’s some kind of wish for anarchy to want people to question authority. That’s what people who are trying to gain authority want you to think. Merely questioning someone is not asking for anarchy, it’s making sure they are doing what their position requires of them and no more or less. It should never be considered a bad thing to question authority, it should always be perceived as a good thing. Well you can go too far and actually make questioning authority a bad thing. Like with the mentally deficient town hall meeting crashers. They loudly ask to be heard and ask questions laced with the venom of ignorance a thousand times more potent than a Bill O’ Reilly or Sean Hannity statement… then not even listen to the answer. What the fuck?

Retard: Listen to me!

Speaker: Ok, what is your question?

Retard: Why are you trying to destroy America by trying to force all men to have pineapples for penises?

Speaker: That is insane…

Retard: Oh BS! And what about the growing Astronaut infestation?!?!

Speaker: What are you ta…

Retard: Oh more lies! What about the poison contrails, watermelon patch migration, twin tower zeppelin conspiracy, lunar landing…

Questioning authority and not listening to their answer does no one any good and makes you look like an idiot. “Der, emma ask a queue stun, an not list in to teh ants sir! ’cause it merks may lookr smert n patrick attic!”

When you question authority, listen to the answer. Then you can determine whether their response is worth anything. But questioning authority while already deciding that no matter what they say is going to be bullshit usually means that you are taking someone elses authority without questioning it. There is a huge difference between questioning authority and ignoring authority. They are the opposite and you should stay away from anyone that attempts to explain that questioning and ignoring authority are similar or even worse: the same. Questioning leads to order while ignoring leads to chaos.

One of the worst things you can do, is to question one authority but not another. Taking sides if you will. This will always lead to you becoming an automotron, sheep, drone follower. Why? Lets take a look see: You will just take whatever your favourite authority has to say while constantly questioning the their opponents. This leads to you just believing in what your side says while disbelieving in what ever the other side says. So you absolutely need to question all authority, not just the ones that you think you can’t trust. The authority you think you can trust is the authority that is the biggest threat, because fewer people will question that authority.

So wake up you mentally shackled ass hats, because you aren’t just hurting yourselves, you are hurting all of us. Question what anyone tells you not just who you perceive to be the other side.
