It is not about what we think, it is about how we think. You are right, who gets to decide? The bottom line, we should by using critical thinking to assess what the information is and what that information is based on. Unfortunately, there are few like yourself that can look at the message and ask the important question of validity. (Unfortunately, in the US “truth is no longer truth”) After that, follow the money, or in some cases “power”. There are way too many people out there that would sell their own mothers into prostitution to make a buck. The more they can get control over you thinking their way the more money they make. Our challenge is to use our thinking to figure out which is which.
