Commonly-Held False Beliefs

I periodically update my list of "Commonly-Held False Beliefs" and send 'em
out. We have such a pervasive belief in how "enlightened" we all are in the
"modern age" of "scientific achievement." We seldom realize that a great
deal of that "scientific progress" has been used to control, brainwash and
slow-kill us.

We hold another deep-seated belief ­ that all the people in authority and in
scientific and medical positions are good people of conscience who can be
trusted. This belief in the benign character of authority figures makes our
being controlled and brainwashed very easy for those who own and control the
mainstream media. All they have to do is to put a scientific/medical façade
on anything they want you to believe and you'll (we'll) believe it. In that
respect, the scientific/medical authorities of today perform the exact same
function that the "high priests" of primitive cultures performed.

Bottom line: Question what you are told by present-day "authorities."
Think for yourself. Trust your intellect and intuition and do your own
research on important matters in our world. At the extreme, they want you
to believe that 2+2=5 just because they say so. As described in the novel
1984, freedom at its heart consists in knowing that 2+2=4 no matter what the
authorities say.

See what's on the list that you still believe in:
