"What the herd hates most is the one who thinks differently; It's not so much the opinion itself, but the boldness of wanting to think for yourself - an ability of which they themselves are not capable." Arthur Schopenhauer.

In life courtesy and self-possession, and in the arts style, are the sensible impressions of the free mind, for both arise out of a deliberate shaping of all things, and from never being swept away, whatever the emotion, into confusion or dullness.

- W.B. Yeats

I’m gathering free printable resources and intend to share them soon. In the meantime, here’s mine. Subtle and small things can make a difference to people on the fence.

I’ve been placing these in books (along with a zine by @artistotel ) and I have to believe that someone who picks up a book on an alternate history of the US is also going to be interested in critical thinking and an alternate history of the Middle East.

This is a war of ideas.

thinking about a thing my transnational film professor freshman year of college said:

in this class we met once a week and before class we watched each film independently and wrote a short essay about it. so we had a film one week and at the beginning of the class, per usual, we went around and she asked people their thoughts. this was a freshman level course so most people there are in it for easy credit, save the 4 film buff people. those people in particular kept going on about how good the movie was and saying film bro stuff i dont even remember.

so after everyone who wants to shares their opinions, she pauses and goes "i hate this movie" and proceeds to explain how it had some really harmful representation, among other issues.

all of my school experience to that point had been focused on being correct and especially in english courses, where we would read a book and if we interpreted it differently than the teacher, we got a bad grade or were humiliated by the teachers.

she said this and it broke that idea in my head. it relieved all of that perpetual anxiety about being correct.

she then went on to say (paraphrasing, this was years ago) 'when someone puts a piece of media into the world for consumption and you consume it, you will interpret it based on your experiences and world view etc. there is not a right or wrong interpretation of art/media. if you interpret it one way, that is an interpretation that is correct, even if it is different than the intent from the creator.'

basically this made me feel like i have the freedom to think for myself. i had assumed we were supposed to like everything we were shown because in school before this semester, everything was presented to be taken as pure fact and accurate information and not something to be criticized. which is really stupid looking back that english classes make you analyze things but if you critique them, unless it's like a practice editing an essay or something, you get berated. at least in my grade school experience.

we're allowed to think for ourselves and you don't have to feel guilty about it. she unlocked that in me and i am so grateful for that. every time i watch a movie now instead of assuming everything is always good, especially if other people think so, i am able to think hm do i like this? is this portrayal good? etc etc.

now i feel like i have the freedom to critique articles in other courses and to speak up and say this is cool for XYZ reason but ABC reason is concerning. and teachers APPRECIATE that!! it's really cool. especially when i take courses for my minor that are less hard stem focused.

at the beginning of that course, she told us we would never watch tv the same after that course and i, like i assume most people do when professors say that, basically shrugged it off not thinking much of it. but oh boy she was more right than i think she knows and i am eternally grateful for that course for this reason among others. i think about this at least three times a week.

i love college :)

Open minded & expansive thinkers are some of the best beings to be around. You can talk about any & everything with so many perspectives with them. I love them. I love thinking beyond limitations. I love being a free thinker and being around other free thinkers.

So... What's up with the world? Opinions wanted...

In my world people no longer have morals and act like they grew up with no teaching or respect for others, much less themselves. People lie and steal and the victim allows it repeatedly. Humanity has changed and I choose to stand alone.

One foot after another

Picking up my feet, as I walk down the worn street.   Giving me a natural beat.   As I hurl my feet, one after another.   One step closer to my destination.   It's a sensation.  Just like this Breeze vapin.   I see the cartridges exploded at my feet.   Like jazz I improve my thoughts  when I see these types of things.   Wondering how someone got off, just to discard and disregard the object that took them there to begin with.   Than sin because they toss it out of their car, bike, bus, like a cheap gin bottle.   I may be harsh, hitting the throttle.   But this is what I see in my day to day.   So don't think I am not being real as steel, when I put together some of my rhymes.   I am the captain, this is my wheel to steer.   So stay clear. Because just like everclear, my rhymes can sneak up quick.

Saturday Nighte For The Freethinker Christopher Hitchens

“THE VALUE OF HETERODOXY” ‘It matters not what you think,’ Hitchens wrote, ‘but how you think.’ Many assume Hitchens was such a pugnacious debater and polemicist because he was temperamentally inclined toward rhetorical combat. As Amis put it: ‘He likes the battle, the argument, the smell of cordite.’ This is true, but another source of Hitchens’s ferocity in print and on the stage was the fact…
