That's pretty darn weak.

I'm still not seeing a specific accusation.

How do you think independently? in c/[email protected]

Well, you answered your own question 3 times. Consider the nature of that kind of conversation.

In a nutshell, thinking coarsens as it passes hand to hand. First-hand is finest. Fourth-hand is a crude and nigh-solipsistic.

So that's one argument for independent thought.

I think that isolating oneself in a cave might be best.

Imagine an illusion, the matrix, built not of scifi machinery but of habit, maintained by the presence of others.

Get alone and the habits dissolve. And then the invisible becomes visible.

Because drugs are bad mmmkay?

And drugs are defined by tv shows. Drugs are pills.

Also, talk about drugs anywhere and you'll encounter 40-somethings with an unreasonable hatred of drugs. They get crazy. That's the "just say no" propaganda talking. It was pushed in the schools in the 80s, and we still hear the echoes.

It's a testament to the power of media and propaganda.

How do you think independently? (leminal.space)
 

I mean, we all hear about people thinking what they think only because the people around them think it too. So how do you avoid doing that?

What big tropes are found in the movies of some cultures but pretty much absent in others? (leminal.space)
 

For example : Megadeaths happen with nary an eye batted in Japanese movies, but you rarely see that kind of thing in the American. And the total dominance of the aristocracy over the underclasses is as assumed and invisible as gravity in French movies, but it seems to be taboo elsewhere.

Paying attention is actually ignoring because when you pay attention to one thing you ignore everything else. (leminal.space)

You read an article, written by somebody you never met, accusing a person you never met, citing evidence you never saw. Now you feel angry at the accused person. What does that make you? (leminal.space)

Both :
Give pleasure. Alter your consciousness. Are addictive. Are delivered via a small, portable device.

Do you prefer a polite request with an implicit punishment-threat or an outright demand with an explicit punishment-threat? Also, why? (leminal.space)
