Why Some Ideas Never Die
You have already seen that some ideas are like viruses, they spread, evolve, and survive, even when proven false. You’ve probably encountered beliefs that make no sense, yet people fiercely defend them. Why? Because these ideas aren’t based on truth; they’re designed to stick. They adapt to new information, twisting facts to stay relevant. And once they attach to emotions or traditions, they become almost impossible to question.If you want to think independently, you must learn to spot these self-sustaining beliefs and break free from them. In this Article I will show you how to recognize false ideas, question them with confidence, and build a mindset based on truth, not manipulation.

Fear in a Box. Top Story - January 2025.
I recently had an experience which has made me thoughtful and reflective (and all of those introspective adjectives) and I wrote about it on here. I actually dressed it up as a story, which was a little naughty of me. The reason for doing it was two-fold: I wanted it to read like fiction rather than a first person account; and the distance of the third-person created a detachment to the events that I sort of felt at the time and sort of didn't.
