We all need to recognize our own ingrained tendency to want to see things on "the news" or from "official" channels of information. Even though I haven't looked at a piece of MSM for ages (except to see what the hell they are spewing on a particular subject) I STILL have to fight the urge to want to see stuff in the mainstream. We have to understand that we have been conditioned to look to "experts" for information and guidance.

This is not an inherently bad inclination if you have experts you can trust, it's just that the system has been so corrupted (as we well know) that we can no longer do this. It is up to each and every one of us to connect the dots and to use our own skills of deduction and reasoning to form an understanding of what is REALLY going on in the world. Then compare notes with others. Trust yourself! You are an intelligent being and you have access to massive amounts of information right at your fingertips.

But, if you find yourself being drawn into someone else’s conclusions and data interpretations without doing your own analysis, then you are selling yourself short. The truth really is stranger than fiction and when you dig in and figure stuff out for yourself, you will have an immense sense of satisfaction - AND you will confidently be able to explain your knowledge to others.
See how this is different from the old way? The way you were taught to “learn”?
