291: Critical Thinking Can Save Us All - in studio with EDDIE HOBBS!

Yep, excellent.

It's going to be a fantastic resource for people, Eddie.

And I'm just thinking as well, the parallels and everything you were saying there with, I'm doing psychology, applied psychology at the moment.

And like the character you referred to, our identity and who we are, ideally is based on our values and principles.

But a lot of people base their identity on what they do or how they are or all these kind of mistakes they make.

It should be based on values.

And character is built through upholding values and principles.

But people have moved so far from that.

I think we're in an age of cowardice, really, because the people who cover their hands over their ears that you mentioned are They're scared.

And a lot of people now are actually subconsciously scared because they sense that something's really wrong in the world.

They sense that the politicians are largely all scamsters now.

It's very different than 40 years ago.

And they sense that the COVID flu, in retrospect, was probably nonsense and all the experts were completely wrong.

And they sense all this and it scares them.

So the best thing for them to do in their own mind is rather than be values and principles based and have courage and stand up and question and be curious and want to understand the world before you die, they figure a head in the sand maybe is better.

Well, I think that most people, most normal people would want to do that.

I don't think they know where to start because the onslaught of information and deception and misdirection is just staggering.

I mean, it's everywhere.

And it's ubiquitous in our lives and it's growing.

It's not diminishing.

So, you know, they can listen to long-form interviews like this and they say, well, that's very interesting.

But, like, the purpose of the book is...

Forget what I think or what you think.

Forget what our conclusions are.

Go and form your own.
