Learn to spot BULLSHIT

in bestofsteem •  7 years ago 

Life is all about distinguish oneself from the rocks. All sentient beings primarily evolved from being able to differentiate between, say bullshit and edible life-giving fungus ( also called mushrooms).
The reward for finding food resulted in higher dopamine levels which led to brain development and eventually led to the current state of having people on the Internet.
Science illiteracy makes us more like rocks and dirt. If you enumerated all of the things that make us human, there would be a subset of attributes that we share with rocks.
So, it's very very important to spot Bullshit for the continuous development of one's personality. In fact, I'm surprised that it isn't part of the curriculum at school or at Uni.
The should be one though, as Bullshit is the prime reason for spreading nonsense and illogical ideas.
Being good at life requires critical thinking so you don't just go down a rabbit hole of your own thoughts. You have to actively look for evidence that contradicts your opinions if you want anyone to give a shit about what you have to say.
