Humans are self-deceiving animals. We can rationalize anything we want and believe anything, and these believes can even lead to genocides. Something is true because we always believed it, because we want to believe it, or because people around us believe it. This leads to errors in our thinking, biases, unground fears, and misinterpretation, just to name a few. To defend ourselves for these kind of errors, there is a weapon called critical thinking. In this article, I will describe critical thinking and how you can develop it.

Lockdowns for disease mitigation have never been used in the modern Western World. And yet, here we are. How is it possible that a strategy, which the WHO has systematically ruled out, is now used in almost all countries?

But what is the real significance of this approval? Is the vaccine suddenly safe now?

It is the 3167th Martian day, or sol, of the Rover mission. Curiosity climbs Mount Sharp within the basin of Gale Crater. And the Mastcam shoots the fantastic panorama you see above.

Coercing people to get COVID-19 vaccines is damaging trust In public health: states Harvard Professor Kulldorf, one of the world’s leading epidemiologists.

Scientists have spotted a previously unrecognized feature of our Milky Way galaxy: A contingent of young stars and star-forming gas clouds is sticking out of one of the Milky Way’s spiral arms like a splinter poking out from a plank of wood. The structure stretches some 3,000 light-years. What makes it special is its orientation which is dramatically different from the arm’s. The newly discovered feature offers insight into the large-scale structure of our galaxy.

If the narrative is a lie, it doesn´t matter that what is shown in the mainstream media is also fiction.

When the news bulletin on television starts to use Hollywood film footage, you know you are being lied to big time! And this is exactly what happened in the Netherlands after the release of the IPCC report. A dramatic clip was shown with footage of forest fires, floods, and… footage from the disaster movie `The Day After Tomorrow.´ So what does this mean, and what does it tell us about the times we are in now?

Mainstream Media tries to put anti-COVID-19-vaxxers in the same groups as conspiracy theorists, tinfoil hats, uneducated, underdeveloped, or plain stupid people. However, a new study has found that the most highly educated Americans are also the most vaccine-hesitant.

First, a disclaimer, this article is written with the utmost respect to the suffering of especially the Jews in World War 2. This remains one of the darkest pages in modern history, and the suffering that has been caused in this war is beyond comprehension. This suffering was not only experienced by Jews, but by gypsies, gays, mental diseased, civilians, soldiers etc. It is still hard to grasp and to realize how many people have been influenced by this. It is easy to say that this only happened because there were evil people. However, we have to face the truth, the second World War was caused by ordinary people making ordinary choices, but which led step by step to this horrific period. It is about the road that led us there. I use this example not because I think we are already there but because I want to prevent that we end up in a similar situation. This never again.
