The facts, always the facts, nothing but the facts!

The facts, always the facts, nothing but the facts!

When I notice a strong polarization around a topic, whether it's widespread enthusiasm or marked opposition, here is the systematic approach I adopt:

  1. 🔍 Objective search for facts, setting aside all emotion to minimize cognitive biases.
  2. 📊 Analysis based on these facts.
  3. ❓ Questioning the reasons for the current relevance and importance of the topic: why this subject? Why now? Who benefits from it?
  4. 👂 Listening to opposing voices, to understand divergent perspectives.
  5. 🤔 Critical examination of the detractors' arguments.
  6. 🌐 Stepping back for a broader view.
  7. 🔙 Returning to the facts, because facts are stubborn!

This approach allows me to distance myself from the sectarian, those who show dogmatism or intellectual dishonesty, and the system's profiteers. Most importantly, thanks to this methodology, I maintain my freedom of thought! 🕊️
