20. Do people REALLY have their own minds though?

Confirmation bias and other biases and distortions, binary/dichotomy systems, people flashing their credentials or 'credentials' around like a flare, and more need to be rejected... the problem is, it's easy to think this way.

People are always looking for information that gives them a boost, the first bit of information. This is confirmation bias. People are always citing the Dow Jones as a sign that something is good or bad. This is the same Dow Jones that predicted a "quick Iraq war" by the way. In fact, I've got another tab open on my browser right now that has an "alt-news" site citing the stock market as proof of something going right in their opinion.

When you're given a dichotomy ("Love it or leave it" for example), you're being told how to think. There is no mass rejection of this.

Believing something just because it is reported by the "alt-news" and not something "mainstream news" reports is another example of a person not using their own minds.
