Each one of us goes through life with varied interests, and we are all at different stages of our journey. I don't need to agree with everything someone says in an interview or documentary to post it. If one is displeased by subjects, perspectives, people or music in any of the videos, they can choose to skip it or unsubscribe. I'm archiving what I feel should be here for others to freely choose to consume. Let's try to be mature men and women. There aren't many of us left.

An honest researcher will try to prove their own beliefs wrong and refrain from using logical fallacies to make their case. 'Active' research requires effort, and will increase the quality of one's personal knowledge bank. 'Passive' research is lazy, and will mostly serve for bias confirmation and ego preservation. Informed speculation can be an enjoyable and healthy exercise, and should be encouraged in every area of research.

“Until every soul is freely permitted to investigate every book, and creed, and dogma for itself, the world cannot be free. Mankind will be enslaved until there is mental grandeur enough to allow each man to have his thought and say. This earth will be a paradise when men can, upon all these questions differ, and yet grasp each other's hands as friends. It is amazing to me that a difference of opinion upon subjects that we know nothing with certainty about, should make us hate, persecute, and despise each other." ― Robert G. Ingersoll

"If anyone can refute me―show me I'm making a mistake or looking at things from the wrong perspective―I'll gladly change. It's the truth I'm after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance." ― Marcus Aurelius

“The absence of truth, the particular presence of just the opposite of truth, the low inclination to search for truth, the weak longing for truth, all of this is related to the karma of our time. Do not believe that thoughts, that assertions are not objective powers! They are objective, real powers! And it is quite inevitable that they will have their effects, even if they are not translated into external actions. For the future it is much more important what people think than what they do. For thoughts become actions in the course of time. We live today in the thoughts of past times; they are expressed in the actions that happen today. And our thoughts that flood the world today will be discharged in the actions of the future.” ― Rudolf Steiner

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell

“Society, as we have constituted it, will have no place for me, has none to offer; but Nature, whose sweet rains fall on unjust and just alike, will have clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence I may weep undisturbed. She will hang the night with stars so that I may walk abroad in the darkness without stumbling, and send the wind over my footprints so that none may track me to my hurt: she will cleanse me in great waters, and with bitter herbs make me whole.” ― Oscar Wilde

“We do not want merely to see beauty...we want something else which can hardly be put into words—to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. That is why we have peopled air and earth and water with gods and goddesses, and nymphs and elves.” ― C.S. Lewis

"In the future, we will eliminate the soul with medicine. Under the pretext of a 'healthy point of view', there will be a vaccine by which the human body will be treated as soon as possible directly at birth, so that the human being cannot develop the thought of the existence of soul and Spirit. He would be extremely smart, but he would not develop a conscience, and that is the true goal of some materialistic circles." ― Rudolf Steiner

"In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to." ― Theodore Dalrymple
