Do you think for yourself? We like to think we do, but how many of us adopt the opinions of others for no other reason than some perceived authority. Even if you agree on one topic, does that mean their opinion is valid on another? Where do you draw the line?
Today, we take on a report of a West Virginia candidate that is anti-EV because he is anti-EPA and anti-Biden administration. Of course, he is just trying to “rile up” his base, but it is a prime example of something neutral, like EV’s, being turned into a political football in rural America.
We find it sad that this is the case, but it’s not just EVs; it is just symptomatic of a bigger issue: people’s inability to apply critical thinking in all situations. Some people are content to let someone else tell them what they think, regardless of whether it makes sense or not. The emperor has no clothes.
This is a two part episode. We try not to be too political, but it sort of turns into an indictment of the entire American political system. We split it up because the discussion (and it was a good one) went on for over an hour.
If this is not your cup of tea, next week we plan to release BOTH the continuance of this episode and an entirely new topic.
And by no means are we telling you how to think. We’re just offering food for thought.
