Basically, I got tired of ranting about everything that annoys me on my last blog and I decided to head off in a new direction. It dawned on me that most people, whether at work, the gym, the grocery store, etc, seem to accept information that they've either read or heard at face value.
This blog is intended to encourage critical thinking, or provide a different perspective on everyday situations without the hassle of checking facts at the library (although you are encouraged to do some research to see that I'm not full of crap). Rather than quote historical research or bore you with too many statistics about how many dentists suggest what cigarette to their patients, I will use information that we can all reasonably agree on. In addition, I will show by example how to more-fully explore any given issue be it traffic, religion, or how to lure a weasel into a cardboard box.
In a world where gut feelings are given more authority than facts, where the average person is permitted to drive 2 tons of steel death, and ‘God did it’ is an acceptable answer to why something happened, your life may just depend on the musings and ideas covered here.
