Unfortunately we are limited by our own thinking. Me too! Of course, me too! When I was teaching, especially when I was teaching argumentation, either forensics or composition, I always told my students not believe what I said, to check things out for themselves. Furthermore, if I offered a personal opinion I offered the opposing opinion and reasoning as well. I think that is fairness if one is in a position of power, that being not imposing one’s personal opinions on others.
So there are many ways my thinking/our thinking is limited. We are automatically limited by having our parents’ thinking superimposed upon us. Then we are limited by our environment, our culture, our heritage, and even by our socioeconomic status. Very often our socioeconomic status determines how and where we are educated and that can either expand and extend our thinking or grossly (and unfairly) limit it.
Another element that plays into our thinking is our life experiences. While all of this is quite complex, being appropriately nurtured at birth, especially in those critical first three months, is a major factor. Having two parents is a factor. Life events, losing a parent, other trauma, physical and/or mental abuse are all factors that determine how and what we think. In some people, such things severely limit thinking. In others, they move through it all and end up with expanded thinking.
Who knows? Who can say? We are all different although of course as human animals we are all the same. And on top of all that is the physiology of how we’re born, if our brains are normal, whether or not our parents used substances while we were in the womb, etc.
And so it goes.
Well, I’m not a sociologist or medical doctor or psychologist. I’m and EdD and I was a teacher for more than 30 years. I also have an MA in English and have been writing for more than 50 years, since I was 15. I’ve had my own life experiences and I was born the way I was born. For those of you who have read my work and/or know me, you know I was an incubator baby and I was born with a lazy eye. I had three eye operations when I was three (I think it was actually when I was four, but I’m fond of saying it as three at three, so…) And here I am at nearly 71.
So the point of all of this is, plain and simple, I think I know when people are messing with my head and I’m here to tell you that our government, particularly the Despicable Democrats are messing with our heads. As the newly disclosed indisputable facts show, Schiff, Comey, Clapper, Brenan, Susan Rice and others said one thing under oath and in secret and the opposite out in public.
Or, they were messing with our heads, plain and simple.
We now know Obama lied. Biden lied. We now know the FBI lied to the FISA court and about Flynn as well as other things.
Or, they were messing with our heads.
It goes on and on and on, and it’s never been worse.
Pravda USA, the mainstream media lapdogs of the Despicable Dems, have been lying to us for years, like forever actually. They hide behind the First Amendment and claim they are unbiased. That is their first lie.
Pravda USA, the Despicable Dem mainstream media lapdogs that are definitely lying to us are worse now than ever because they are brazen about it and don’t even attempt to hide it. It’s worse than ever now because they are owned by a few multi-billionaires all of whom have their own personal agendas from making millions of dollars in China to seeing that their sweetheart deals with our government aren’t upended by an independent president like Trump.
It’s all diabolical. They are messing with our brains and they want our thinking limited and controlled.
But hey! Don’t believe me. Don’t believe them. Check things out for yourselves. Facts are facts. Opinions are opinions. All or nothing is almost always a fallacious argument.
