Ideological echo chambers are bad for everyone!!!

Living in an echo chamber will make you go deaf and drive you crazy. There are a lot of echo chambers in the world of ideas today, and they are making a lot of people crazy!!!

When we live in our own narrative, and wont allow any ideas in from the outside world, we become small minded and ignorant. Some folks don’t like knowledge outside of their own experience. Knowledge that don’t fit a certain set of criterias, is to be rejected, not debated!!!

When one live in an echo chamber they can expect to be ridiculed and challenged. The worst part of it all, they never grow intellectually, and even start to regress. Their only recourse is to try to get laws made that protect them from other ideas, and by doing so stifle debate and honest public discourse.

Epiosde 860:  Comparing apples to onions-Christian/Political commentary

When doing comparisons with object, products, or ideas, you need to make fair comparisons. You wouldn’t give someone an apple to taste and then give them an onion to compare the taste and flavor. There isn’t any comparison between the two.

For a long time now America has been compared to socialized western countries, and we are told we need to be more like them in almost every aspect. I keep asking the question why? What have they really accomplished in the last thousand years? How have they advanced economically, religiously, governmental? It wasn’t until America came onto the scene, that the other western countries had any cosmetician for the hearts and souls of mankind. From then on there has been a divide between America and Europe, that can’t be overcome with more government control.

America, for the past 200 plus years lead Europe in every way!!! We were freer, our liberty was protected by law, and we worked from the idea that each person is sovereign over their own lives!!! Our political system is a radical departure from the rest of the world!!! The only reason I see that folks want to go back to a European style of living, is some folks think they know better how to live other folks lives!!! That is about as un-American as one can get!!!

Episode 859  

The more things change the more they stay the same. Folks will always want what they want, even if it doesn’t make a lick of sense. Most folks learn their ideas from their parents, and then those ideas are refined through education or indoctrination.

It seems very few folks go beyond what they are taught or hear. Very few folks want to verify what they know or hear. Because of this lack of attention to their personal knowledge, folks don’t know when the knowledge they are given is being manipulated.

Some people use polls, surveys or statistics to prove their ideas and positions are right, and most folks trust these people because they are suppose to be experts or people in the know. However these experts and people in the know hope regular folks don’t look to closely at he stuff they put out, because more times than not their ideas and positions are found wanting.

Don’t be mislead, do your own research and ask lots of questions, and be mindful of proper hermeneutics when studying any topic of interest!!!

Episode 858   Anti-freedom folks hiding the truth!!! 

It’s one thing to not know the truth and then go find it. It is quite another thing to know the truth and hide it to make yourself or group look like you are better or doing better than what you really are.

From polling to news stories that are slanted away from all the facts and truth, to outright covering up the facts and truth, America has a real problem on their hands. Without all the facts and being truthful about them, folks can’t come to a rational conclusion about an issue.

Only anti-freedom folks want to hide the truth and facts, because they don’t fit the narrative they have created and maintain. I believe when you on purpose hide facts and truth, you are robbing folks of the opportunity of making good choice in life.

episode 857  Free-4-All-Friday!!!

Have you ever had some tell you something, but didn’t tell you all the facts? We have all been there, and when all the facts are shared we are upset because we may have based a decision on the facts we had at the time, and could have made a better decision, if we only had all the facts.

It has been my observation that a lot of folks don’t share all the facts they know about something, because they either don’t know them, or the facts may show them in a bad light because of actions they have taken. Sometimes facts are withheld because there is an issue of control involved, and if all the facts are known, they may loose control.

Governments who withhold facts on public matters, and then latter those hidden facts are uncovered, the government looses credibility. Once credibility is lost, it is very difficult to regain, and in most cases it is never regain by those who withhold the facts in the first place.
