Read everything, listen to everybody, don't trust anything unless
you can prove it with your own research. ~ William Milton Cooper
Below are some rules of thumb for scientists, philosophers and truth seekers:
- Logic is your best friend. Practice formal logic regularly .
- Be open to all possibilities. Don't get stuck in dogma, a plateau is just that. It is just a temporary stopover that you can consider as your conditional truth .
- Believe nothing you see, read, and hear. Base your conclusions on your own source research. No one else but yourself can be your guru, believe in you and your ability.
- In the absence of certainty, and there always is, opt for plausibility.
- No one only proclaims truths, and no one has the whole truth. Misinformation and disinformation are everywhere, and we are not immune to it either.
- Reality is something dynamic, not rigid. New data can change your entire paradigm instantly, be aware of this so you don't go crazy .
- Every piece of information is a piece of the puzzle in the bigger picture. Life is one big mystery waiting to be solved.
- Different perspectives illuminate each other. Only by comparing sources can a coherent picture be formed.
- In the bigger picture everything becomes clear. Only when you can make connections for yourself do you discover order in the chaos.
- Catch yourself in cognitive dissonance. Seemingly contradictory concepts are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
- The more you know, the more you know how little you know . And vice versa. The less you know, the less you know how little you know.
- Much knowledge is coded, read between the lines. To retain knowledge for a longer period of time, it is often coded. If the knowledge is kept secret, it remains and its holder protected from suppression or expulsion.
