I'm very interested in not just advocating but creating a powerful force for independent thinking - bridging between the struggles and difficulties that independent free thinkers face and taking the high ideals of self evident humanities and baking them into a community of individuals with the idea of institutions serving as the structural support base. Institutions is really anything that is a system of governance that serve the independent. And one large difficulty I see faced inside independent thinking is persistency. Independent thinking is being intruded constantly, and disturbed, by rhetorics that say "just trust me" - whether it be a politician, a salesmen, or looming corporations with feel good slogans. Things are getting "too complex" in modern society that independent thinking is being invaded, and what is offered as "the way forward" is some idealistic version of growth that gives agency and independent thinking not only a bad name but is argued as "no longer required".

What wins is what works. And just because it wins doesn't mean it'll be what you declare as valuable, and that is my message; that filling the void is best done with what you define in your discoveries more so than what anyone else defines in their own words. This is radical. Independent thinking will win if the cheap tricks by corporations are held to account. Independent thinking will win when gaps are bridged internally between know-how and why for filling the void of your existence. Experience is everything.

Fostering independent thinking in a world of growing complexity is crucial for progress. Resisting the intrusion of simplistic rhetoric and staying persistent in one's pursuit of truth is key to preserving individual agency and critical thought. Stay vigilant, stay independent.
