| Every now and then, I have to explain to somebody what it is that I am. | |
| What do I believe in? | |
| How do you explain my philosophical belief system? | |
| What is it? | |
| How do you work it out? | |
| Well, it's simple. | |
| I'm a heretic. | |
| And that bothers people because it sounds bad. | |
| But it's not really. | |
| It's exactly who I am. | |
| And heretic, like I am, is basically somebody who follows heresy. | |
| Now heresy, to be fair, let me read to you. | |
|
Groupthink Conventional Wisdom

|
| Heresy is a belief or opinion contrary to orthodox religious, especially Christian doctrine. | |
| That's not me. | |
| I'm not talking about that at all. | |
| Here is my way of thinking. | |
| Opinion profoundly at odds with what is generally accepted. | |
| That's it. | |
| Let me make it very clear to you. | |
| I would venture to say that anything that is crowdsourced, any opinion, and let's exclude medical science, For the most part. | |
| I know where you're going with that. | |
| But I mean, there are some things which are fundamentally agreed to that are correct. | |
| There are some basic things. | |
| But I don't even involve myself in that. | |
| I'm not a contrarian to everything. | |
| I don't dispute everything. | |
| When it comes to politics, philosophy, the usual thought or opinion du jour, that is where I am profoundly opposed to that of conventional ideology, to that which is generally accepted. | |
| If the majority of any group tends to agree with something or think that something is true, it's wrong. | |
| It's wrong. | |
| It's been watered down. | |
| It's milquetoast, it's anodyne, it's saccharine, it's unimportant, it's unexciting, it's dull. | |
| You know it, I know it, we all know it. | |
| So I'm a heretic, and I have no problem with that. | |
| But I don't start off being like that. | |
| There's a word we use sometimes too, which I don't like, is that's skeptic. | |
| And a skeptic is somebody who is a denier. | |
| Now, I hate that word, denier, because you know denier is a very popular word, but a denier is somebody who deniers almost, the denier I'm talking about, is somebody who does it almost reflexively. | |
| It's almost like a patella reflex. | |
| Nope. | |
| Wait a minute. | |
| I don't do that. | |
| I don't necessarily say that everything is wrong before I even hear it. | |
| What I tend to do is to reject, after an initial consideration of that which is presented, I tend to reject what people say. | |
| Because it's not true. | |
| Or it's not good. | |
| Or it's not well thought. | |
| Or it's lazy. | |
| Or it's sloppy. | |
| Or it's this Pavlovian patellar obeisance to that which everybody believes. | |
| That which is usual. | |
| That which is understood. | |
| That which is the generally accepted understanding regarding things. | |
| If schools did a better job, if people did a better job, I think, in trying to cull and breed and harvest and collect people who think like me, the world would be a better place. | |
| Because I'm telling you right now, let me give you an example. | |
| I've been saying this for so long, it's... | |
| Starting to, I mean, not boring me, but even I'm thinking to myself, I can't keep saying this, but I'm going to keep saying it. | |
| I believe in the absolute value of critical thinking. | |
| And critical thinking sounds kind of, well, it sounds highfalutin. | |
| It sounds like, oh, critical thinking. | |
| What it means is applying a particular way it means a structure of thinking as to issues and the like. | |
| And it normally... | |
| Follows what we used to call in law school the IRAC method. | |
| Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion. | |
| What's the issue? | |
| What is the rule that is purportedly, allegedly applied to this? | |
| Let me analyze the two. | |
| Let me make some form of conclusion. | |
| Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion. | |
| Invariably. | |
| If you follow that way of thinking, you will disagree with virtually everybody who opines. | |
| Because, let's face it, when people... | |
| And again, I'm not talking about how to build a building or how mold forms on bread. | |
| Like I said, there are some scientific things which we pretty much agree. | |
| I'm not talking about that. | |
| But when it comes to political ideology, when it comes to applying a way of thinking, most people crowdsource and they look to see what is everybody thinking. | |
| And they tend to think much like birds think or starlings think when they follow patterns of murmurations. | |
| You've seen these birds that fly in these beautiful swarms. | |
| They look like a... | |
| Like a Rorschach test that flies. | |
| And they fly perfectly. | |
| You don't have one that flies off and loses direction. | |
| They're like the most intricate marching band you've ever seen. | |
| Because they follow each other. | |
| And they follow each other and they collect for various reasons. | |
| Some people think that maybe it's a means of... | |
| Saving or preserving energy, you know, warmth, the energy of the group. | |
| It's another way of perhaps making the group look larger to predators. | |
| There are all kinds of reasons. | |
| And the best reason is that some predators just like to follow others. | |
| Well, humans do that too. | |
| They really do that. | |
| Humans love to be a part of the team, the tribe, the unit, the group. | |
| The family, the class. | |
| Remember that kings play chess on Friday, generally speaking, that wonderful mnemonic? | |
| Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species, you know, that kind of thing. | |
| Well, we love to be in groups. | |
| We love it. | |
| We love to be in a group, and we love to meet other people in the group, and we love to say the things that other people in the group Like us to say. | |
| We use shibboleths. | |
| We use phrases. | |
| We use expressions. | |
| We use a nomenclature. | |
| We use an argot or argo, depending upon where you're from, a lexicon. | |
| That's what we do. | |
| And when you put enough of those people together, you get a conventional way of thinking. | |
| And a conventional opinion. | |
| And the opinion of the group regarding something. | |
| And that, by virtue of the fact that that has amassed, is wrong. | |
| Don't follow it. | |
| Because that's not the way critical thinking applies. | |
| You don't do it by committee. | |
| You do it by an exhaustive application of review. | |
| You look at things little by little, bit by bit. | |
| You ask yourself, does this make sense? | |
| Let's test it again. | |
| Let's dispute this. | |
| Wait a minute. | |
| There's something wrong here. | |
| Do we really have a valid opinion, a valid outlook? | |
| Do we really? | |
| Are we at that point? | |
| Are we? | |
| And that's critical. | |
| That's not the way people think. | |
| Oh, no, no, no, no, no. | |
| We have opinions that are collectively sourced. | |
| And we love phrases. | |
| You have your phrases. | |
| I have mine. | |
| And every group, every group, every iteration of humanity, every religion, every political aspect, they all follow the same rules with their same language. | |
| And their same nomenclature. | |
| So remember, if you are finding yourself in agreement with the majority of a particular unit or population, for the most part, again, not, not, not, I've said this enough, but I'm talking about new ideas regarding politics and philosophy, you are wrong. | |
| Because remember, to be, to be a heretic, To oppose ideas which are generally thought of, generally agreed to, generally approved of by the group is something that makes you special. | |
| And let me tell you something. | |
| Take it from me. | |
| When you buck the system, when you go rogue, when you say no, no, I don't believe that. | |
| No, I don't, I don't, I'm not following that. | |
| No, I don't think that's true. | |
| No, I don't think your level of proof has been adduced correctly. | |
| No, I'm not buying that theory. | |
| It will call you every conceivable name you can imagine. | |
| Not because you're wrong, necessarily. | |
| And you might be wrong. | |
| There's always that possibility. | |
| But because you dare to go against the team, the tribe, the pack, the group, the family, the order. | |
| You dare to do that. | |
| And they don't like that. | |
| You're a troublemaker. | |
| And they will mock you and chide you and call you everything you can imagine up to and including your suggesting or questioning your sanity. | |
| So be a heretic. | |
| Embrace the heretic in you. | |
| Heresy. | |
| Give it a shot. | |
| It's one of those words. | |
| It's one of those things. | |
| Like the word epitome or epitome as my friend once called it. | |
| Epitome sounds like, oh, it's great. | |
| You're the epitome. | |
| You're the epitome of musicianship. | |
| You're the epitome of singers. | |
| It means the most average, the most representative. | |
| You mean the quintessence. | |
| That's what you're trying to say. | |
| But that's not the way we speak. | |
| We speak in a more pedestrian way. | |
| So heresy. | |
| Heresy's cool. | |
| Heresy's in. | |
| Embrace the heretic in you. | |
| And if you would be so kind and be so wise and be so great. | |
