- Seek It
- Be curious
- Indulge your curiosity
- Be around curious people
- Google your questions
- Read
- Go the library
- Ask experts/friends
- Trust
- Senses - They are good enough to drive with.
- Mind - It is good enough to get man to the moon.
- Experts - They're scared enough of losing their job that they relatively have their shtuff together.
- Doubt
- Authority - Beware of hegemony, self promotion and parasitic self replicating memes.
- Tradition - Question the status quo. Those that don't learn from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them.
- Self - There are many, many, many things that you are wrong about. Don't add to that list by being wrong about being wrong
- Defend It
- Argue with people--civilly. Truth is discovered communally. A community of people exchanging ideas like a super network of neurons firing back and forth to each other. The world community is one big brain (and the internet is the synapses:)). We're smarter together.
- Proclaim It
- Start conversations: Bring up important subjects. Go beyond small talk. Talk big.
- Preserve truth in writing: Make it so you and others can come back to that thought after it's faded or been forgotten. Why aren't you blogging? Srsly.
