Are you ready yet for an education?

You think you do your own thinking but it's shaped in so many ways by agenda driven entities that you almost don't stand a chance. Your best bet is to understand just how it's done and learn to recognize when and what techniques are being employed. The following link is a long read. You might want to save it for a time when you just want to settle back and learn the ways that you are constantly being 'had'.

Perhaps you just might want to read part of it at a time. However you do it I heartily recommend that you read it. It's been obvious to me for some time now that a heavy proportion of the people who post here really need to have a better understanding of how their thinking is being manipulated. Even though I have been in some form of sales for pretty much all of my life, and do enjoy identifying much of the manipulation that goes on constantly, I found some ways that I've probably been taken in too from time to time. It's a really informative piece.

Well you know the saying "salespeople are the easiest sale"

LOL, that IS what they say. In my case that might have been true when I was a lot younger. Now I've gotten old and cynical and am much better at seeing things for what they are.

Hopefully enough people have been reading the link I posted so that there can be some intelligent discussions. It would be so much better to actually explore the realities of what has been going on instead of just the constant regurgitation of the pap we're continuously fed.

The way it is, far too many people do no more than repeat ad nauseam what the 'media' has already repeated ad nauseam.

Broader research is a good thing.

If the broader population had the intellectual capacity to understand the extent to which their opinions are being formed by professional marketing agents, then this wouldn't be an issue to begin with, would it?

While what you say here is true, it's also true that you can't fix something if you don't know that it's broken.

That was sort of my point, Boltlady.

I've just been trying to create a "I could have had a V8" type moment.

Ha!

Good luck with that.
