My Guide to Becoming a Free Thinker:
1. Understand yourself. Understand the idea and meaning of civility, rationality, and being honest/truthful. Understand why you think the way you think. Does it come from culture? Is it a byproduct of subculture? Is it influenced by a form of institution (Religion, Economics, Government, Family, or Education)?
2. Understand morals(what is right and wrong), ethics, which will later allows you to gain self-wisdom.
3. Learn to think for one's self. Begin to question everything.
In a political environment it's proper to look at both sides and determine which one is moral based on one's opinion and understand why. Understand your history and how things work (or get a factual idea of how things work). It's best to never take political sides in the beginning until you fully understand the underline motives of a political side. When looking at political decisions know or try to understand the short term motives and the long term motives (or effects of the short term motives) of a situation.Personally, I often decided to start by taking sides with the person who everyone is against and understand the reason why. It seems common in history the political side that has the most undesirability and is hated is often correct. Next, I try to prove which side is right where I also try to see how much it is wrong. When I find out which side is morally correct, I will take the morally correct side; if none are correct, I will take my own side. It's proper to not stay with one side if they become more and more morally incorrect.
4. Find questions and research them. Research is the basis in which knowledge develops and expands. Research is the gateway to understanding and avoiding the unnecessary. If no answer can be found, then: 1. Break down the question into separate achievable questions. 2. Ask the very basics/fundamentals of a question and work your way up to answering your main questions.
5. Learn to critically analyze. The fulfilling time to analyze something, I found, is during the process of beginning to sleep or wake up.
6. Most will not understand this. It's wise not completely ignore conspiracy. Instead use it as selective information. All information is valuable, even if it's false. When seeking conspiracy, never take it personally and do not take action on a conspiracy's behalf. Use the conspiracy as a reference or tool and not a guide. Hopefully by utilizing conspiracies, conspiratorial topics can become more widely discussed and even perhaps used to prevent possible negative outcomes or results.
7. Learn history, psychology, sociology, philosophy and perhaps maybe theology to expand your level of knowledge.
8. Learn to read body language. It's useful and fun to read books on this subject. You will find yourself using a tool you never knew ever existed. Lean mico expressions, body language, deductive reasoning, and lie detection. In addition, learn the art of deception (much like ninjas) and strategy (story of five rings).
9. Become financially independent. I have concluded by becoming financially stable, I could learn to feel free to express myself openly with anyone. Do this by finding ways to create assets through residual and passive income streams. One can also research dividend reinvesting plans for investing.
7. Try new things, look at life differently, be compassionate and humble, and be respectful to those who are wrong and those who are ignorant. As time passes, perhaps you will find yourself wiser than those around you or seeking others with a vast array of knowledge you can learn from.
8. Do everything your own way. There are no objective rules. It is important to be self motivated; therefore, do things yourself. The steps above are tools for free thinking. Understanding the world around oneself and understanding how everything functions, one has a better understanding of how they can help and teach the world.
9. Ask yourself questions. Ask yourself questions and build upon the knowledge you know and do not know.
