Thinking and Acting for Ourselves

I really wish, we could get rid of superstition, and embrace the developments in scientific thought since the middle ages.

I feel very strongly that we should start thinking and acting for ourselves: to do this we need access to information and not orders as to what to think and to be forbidden from finding out.

Let’s start by educating and not indoctrinating, so we can start doing things for ourselves and our communities.

At the moment, we are just carrying on accepting everything we are told by the media companies, because we think we are not clever enough and need politicians to think for us.

We are indoctrinated to believe, that we could not possibly be clever enough; so we have to stay in our place.

There is an incredible amount of misinformation around, as well as a lot of information that is simply withheld from us.

I wish we could finally realise that we do not need anyone but ourselves to not only run or own lives but our communities and our countries.

Which is what we do anyway, except we think that it is the government that does that. We make it work and they make sure it works for them.

Many politicians have never done a days work in their lives; most couldn’t work, so they need us to stay as we are; divided, ignorant, and riddled with superstition and dependent on those clever politicians.
