How to Keep Your Critical Thinking Faculties

L. Birdie Brown posted this comment after my interview with 95-year-old Alida Steinhuis (the retirement home resident who refused to get jabbed):

"What you are witnessing, folks, is a person who thinks independently and critically, something highly cherished by some these days for its seemingly increasing rarity. Mrs. Steenhuis didn't watch TV until her critical thinking faculties were well in place, and that's why she still has them, and has the guts to use them. (Make friends with people who jeer at the TV; it's a good sign!)"

If you haven't yet (or even if you have), you can watch the short "I'm Not a Puppet" trailer or the full Alida Steinhuis interview.

Stay sane & keep thinking,
