Think For Yourself

Isn’t it ironic that we’re so often told to think, think, think for ourselves by the same institutions, political and social leaders (our gatekeepers), while at the same time they bombard us with ‘suggestions’ on what and how to think (their vested interests propagandas)?

How’s a ‘thinking person’ (all of us, who have even the simplest of brains) to navigate the specious information we’re deluged with daily? All our institutions of learning (elementary thru university), ostensibly teaching us ‘how to think’, but merely expound their vested interests propaganda (state and economically gatekeeper approved agendas), and the right, or correct conclusions to draw from said ‘thinking’ processes?

Our thoughts are not our own…

We seldom realize, for example,  that our most private thoughts and emotions are not actually our own. For we think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.  –Alan Watts
