As a teacher of some 15+ years now, and a blogger of more than 20 years, I can tell you this is absolutely true. Not only can’t the heard think, but it fiercely resists any attempt to help it learn how to think.

Again, this is absolutely true! Now, do you know why it is true?

I have found that, more often than not, the reason the herd hates those who think for themselves is because the herd knows that thinking for themselves means they have to accept responsibility for their own actions. They much prefer to preserve the false idea that, if they do not think and just do as they are told, then they have a scape-goat to blame for their wrongs. The free thinker tears away the lie and forces the herd to face the Truth it wishes to ignore. Thus, the herd hates the free thinker.

Sadly, the herd is wrong, but then, the herd would have to think for themselves before they can see and understand this Truth…

Well, then, that explains this…

OK, in case anyone actually wants me to put this into my own words:

Those who lie to themselves, and believe their own lies, act like hate-filled animals; which is why they seek to destroy you when you point out their error.

Now, does this help you to determine which side you should question more: those advocating force, violence and the destruction of others, or those merely pleading for their rights and the rule of law? It should, because:

Tell me again, which side’s been doing all the censoring, and why?

I am sick and tired of people saying that reason, logic, math, the rule of law, truth — heck, anything they do not like or agree with is due to ‘White Privilege’ or racism. I’m tired of it. It is non-sense and they know it. They can’t beat their political opponents with ideas or industry (and this is about politics now), so they look for a way to shame people into submission. Well, so as not to be accused of speaking from my own ‘white-whatever,’ I’m just going to post this meme and let this great man deal with those race-hustlers out there (mostly because they couldn’t survive hearing/reading what Thomas Sowell has to say to and about them, or Walter Williams, for that matter 🙂 ):

[I can already hear their response now: Douglass was an ‘Uncle Thom.’ Well, to that I say: see my last post on taking personal responsibility, then have a talk with the person in your mirror.]

Dear Read,

I pray you will not dismiss this post.  No matter what your religious sentiments, I believe this is an important, foundational concept that far too many of us do not understand.  I think it’s time we at least give it the consideration it is due.
