WHEN we reject one narrative, one set of belief systems, we leave ourselves wide open to another.
It is only through the application of rationality premised on evidence that we may proceed wisely.
At any one moment in time, you see the lie of a thing and you reject it. You reject that lie because you know better, but the next lie you know nothing about.
So recognise what you do not know, and question everything that presents itself to you about which you know nothing; do not shy away from admitting that which you do not know.
The world is cloaked in tall stories as well as truth. Telling one from another requires evidence. It really is that simple - what has led you to that belief? Can you provide evidence that it is so?
You only ever need ask one simple question when you want to understand the truth or otherwise of a thing (anything else is conjecture, storytelling, and we all like a good yarn) - what evidence do you have for that claim?
Keep in mind that evidence is not someone else simply saying it is so, no matter how important an authority they may claim to be on the subject.
Here are some things for us all to (re) consider:
HEALTH
What evidence is there that covid was a virus escaping from a lab, if viruses themselves have never been shown to exist?
What evidence is there that illness is a thing gone wrong that needs to be treated, as opposed to being an intelligent, natural process of self-cleansing by the body?
What evidence is there for contagious diseases? What evidence is there that modern medicine helps anyone?
