I once read a book, I think it was Mark Manson’s book. I can’t remember which book it was or what the story was exactly about, but I will try to put up part of what I remember.
So basically the story was that Mark was walking across the street when some other random dude walked straight to him and started dishing out the best of conspiracy theory. What a douche. Fast forward to the part where the random guy told Mark have an open mind dude all because Mark chose to ignore and not accept his theories as they were baseless and without facts. I think Mark said something like, well I think you mind is so open your brain fell off.
Chances that my account of that story is horribly off. Ah fuck, now I regret sharing their story. Right, so here is the thing. I believe we can all agree that our brain collects information and process it and our mind thinks and ponders this decision, then makes dumb decisions. Now here is the thing. With the 21st century rage of smart phones and internet, what is and what not, everybody has chosen not to think for themselves again, majority of the time. I think that has being established also. I mean, look at 2020. 90% chance that you heard a voice message or read an article that the world was gonna end, and this was Gods punishment's for humanity, and that 5g beams are spreading Corona Virus, bla bla fucking bla. At that point in my life was when I started reading Mark Manson’s blog post and it was and still is very helpful. At that time I chose uncertainty. I chose not to pick any side or anything to believe, and trying to find my information from trusted sources, because lets face it, nobody knows what the fuck is going on 50% of the time. At this point you’re thinking, what the fuck is he going on about? where the fuck is he heading with this?
See, the whole idea is consideration. I think I should probably have named today’s newsletter consideration, but a lot of people have lost their shit trying to keep an open mind, so this is a tribute to them. You have to always be willing to hear different perspectives, ideas, reasoning, different from yours. That’s really how to live. You have being wrong all along, but so am I and so is every fucking body else. You have to be willing to consider new information then through verification for authenticity and accuracy you can eventually make something of it, because you have to think for yourself in the end.
So because you want you have an open mind, I tell you that the president is dead, and he has this weird flesh all over his face to show that he is a clone, bla bla bla. And you think to yourself, FUCK YEAH. I am trying to have an open mind here, and I'll don’t know shit, so I might as well believe that. Sometimes you don’t have to know, just sip water and keep living. I have being questioning everything lately and the more I see/know, the more darkness I encounter and the more questions erupt.
