  1. Hi thinkers and alike, Paul Joseph Watson has made a great video about the least discussed aspects of interaction with social media, some of the symptoms I have experienced myself... not good. Deeply thought provoking summary, I'm currently sharing it with everyone/everywhere I can. It would be interesting to see a video on the same subject from the FDR team, adding new and powerful insights (as usual) on the topic.
  2. Hi thinkers and alike, What if there was a team of people, taking apart news articles and reassembling them using a scientific method to produce a more objective, fact simili product? It'd be mainly done by cleaning up phrases and words that are meant to spin the story, generate an emotional cloud obscuring the real content, intentionally misleading the readers? What could be even better, if their methodology could be peaked into, updated with crowd-sourced recommendations; using the power of feedback, continously. If you are a subscriber to "theknifemedia.com", please share your experiences with us. I would like to know your take, on what they do in your opinion. Barnsley
  3. Hi thinkers and alike, While listening to [FDR Podcast - 3976 - 2nd caller - from minute 57] ...(I heard myself say)... Did she just say what I had also been thinking about, almost 'down to the last tee'...? [...] "up is down".."east is west".."the world fell into a weird chaotic wormhole"..." everything is going insane".. "what's next"..." What dreams do you have?".."Do you want to travel? "..." What's your dream job? ".. ".. and they have nothing to answer with!"..." They never thought about it!.. " [...] I'm posting this here, not under education for its relevancy to rather self-knowledge. Though, I'm mainly experiencing it within the boundaries of the former realm as a job, but it also is the same outside of work. Please help me find answers to the following question: 1. How to make the most impact if there is very little time alloted and the setup is coercion induced (=learning sth that which the students wouldn't have chosen in the first place if they could have) a. critical thinking is required, however they were ONLY taught/had exposure to ONLY memorising, repetition based group think, regurgitation. b. overburdened from the get-go, but worse they don't even have the time for proper free-time because of other obligations... tiredness physically, mentally. c. all and every extrascolar activities are either based around no-negotiation & structured(already set up) sports, family time (kids are mainly bored because the parents are who are having the fun) d. hardly any kids hang out on the streets playing, there are no 'clubs, groups, gatherings' self organising... except for religious stuff (again, highly structured... my only qualm is lacking critical thinking, plus it's fake-religiosity for its 'fan-factory' like effect so that people can pretend virtues) d. zero tolerance to criticism (the person's either upset or aggressive in return) and you commonly see intense self censoring, fear of speaking their mind at all (takes ages to dig down to ANY genuine opinion/preference because of loathing probable negative repercussions, pretentious society, close relatives aren't encouraging individuality) e. parents don't care but claim to want to raise well-rounded adults in the process, meanwhile facilitating socialists to prosper in every aspects of society. (I'm pro-active, dedicated, woke and won't give up just doubting the worth in this setup, definitely could improve my approach to it... etc) Barnsley
  4. Currently I am enrolled in a Business Ethics course while pursuing my Bachelors Of Business Administration. I must say, Stefan and Michael's podcasts have been invaluable references for me to call on while completing the course work. I just finished the chapter on Normative Theory of Ethics which featured a critique of Adam Smith that I had not initially considered and also had Immanuel Kant with the concepts that he coined such as "categorical imperative" and "universal acceptability" which reminded me an awful lot of Stefan's "Universally Preferable Behavior: A Rational Proof Of Secular ethics. I love Western philosophy so much. #TheWestIsTheBest No if you will excuse me I am going to go pull an all nighter reading Atlas Shrugged.
  5. Even though almost all responses to my yesterday's article "How NOT to Raise a Boy to Respect Women, Himself, or Anybody" were positive, I got a few negative ones. Here's my response to one of them in a form of an article: "You're Judgemental and Bad" – A Response to Common Criticism.
  6. Hello, I am on the hunt for some good critical thinking-for kids sources. Websites, books, whatever you have. My kids are 6 and 8 and I do some of my own but sort of running out of ideas that they can grow into. I recently saw a video (unrelated to this) but a woman suggested a book for kids called I Wonder or Eye Wonder but didn't reference the author, so if anyone has more details on this book, please post. Also, referenced was Camp Quest. I found only websites for an actual camp retreat for kids but I do not live in the US, so I guess that isn't relative unless there is another Camp Quest (like a general website, etc) Thanks FDR community!
