Quote by: Isherwood  It depends on what you mean by "thinking for yourself".
Thinking for yourself does not imply that you arrive at
all your conclusions by yourself, that you don't consider anything
you haven't personally investigated. |
To me "thinking for yourself" means you don't take every claim as true. For example, it might mean you do not instantly accept the rationale behind war. The frustrating thing is that not all "yesmen" have lost their marbles or are complete idiots. A lot of it is social conditioning; repetitive behavior, a certain kind of upbringing. Young minds are easy prey.
