  • Yes, right on!

    It follows the law of entropy what she mentions, "If you don't control your egocentricity and sociocentricity, these will always be lurking to hold you back (in the pursuit of truth and my personal belief happiness).

  • Hi, I just read your comment. The fact that you are uneducating may be a barrier to miss the point on the video(s).

    The issue to consider and take home, as you wish, is to spot out where in your life society or the groups you move in, your herd, is expecting irrational behavior from you; that is, they ask that you behave in ways that may not have enough arguments for you to follow in and buy as a "free thinker" the behavior. You do it nonetheless, so as to fit in.

  • I had such hope for this video when I started on part 1. I was really let down by the lack of information and application that would be required to make use of the information. No offense, but when are you going to upload videos that have powerful application? I am uneducated but I'm not a moron. I was hoping to take something away from your videos, all I got from watching them was repeated information that did not branch off into application. Why not talk about how to become a free thinker?

  • we can find out what actions/claims are justified or not well justified by looking at and evaluating the reasoning and evidence presented. That is the basis of critical thinking. :)

  • if we as a human race are still critically thinking about what claims are true and false when it comes to reality and all the biggest questions how are we to know which actions are justified or not justified.
