The average age of my readers is about 25 years, so I continue to teach you life. You'll thank me later!
Relatively recently I wrote about a skill that would be good to have if you want to achieve something in life.
However, times are changing, and if yesterday to survive you needed to be able to read, today that's not enough anymore.
What's this skill without which today - no way? I'll tell you.
Critical thinking
Whoa, whoa, don't rush to say you already know without me. I'll explain now why 15 years ago you could do without it, but today - no way.
The thing is that the internet and internet businesses have entered our lives. How is this connected? It's simple, actually.
So you go to Google. Start googling "best blog about Czech Republic". And there, bam - and for some reason not my blog. It's obvious to a hedgehog that something's not right here.
However, over years of using the internet we learned an axiom - Google doesn't lie, what's first is most relevant.
And now the most interesting thing - don't forget that Google is not an NGO. Everything they do is done to earn money. So even if today on the first page of results you see something adequate, this doesn't mean it won't change tomorrow.
If you don't think critically every time, you can get into trouble.
Or the problem that makes all more or less educated internet users angry - fake news. Imagine that on TV they show that in Europe blacks are raping fat German women (and not us, as we'd like). And on Facebook this news has a thousand likes. Can so many people lie?
As an option - Sobolev's video, in which he, albeit clumsily, tries to convey that today you can fool everyone so that nobody will even think.
And he's right that today too much power is concentrated in the hands of those who can convey information simultaneously to a large number of people.
Here's for your interest - my blog is read by about 300 people a day. What will happen if I write in the morning that Arab terrorists came to Czech Republic to learn Czech? Nothing really. Well, maybe relatives will ask me, like, what, finally went crazy, waited as expected?
But what will happen if a million-subscriber blogger (of which there are ass-loads in Russia today) throws such stuff? Right, Czech Republic will lose a bit of money on Russian tourists without even understanding what's wrong. And what will happen if the topic is more serious, say, if someone says that in Europe all children are taken away, and that families better not even go here?
Anyway, my dears, the day has come when everything we see in media needs to be taken as initially false. The time has passed when "if on the internet, means true". The internet has ceased to be a place where, unlike TV, people don't lie.
Today when you're looking for information about the etymology of the word "tolerance", you, bam, land on the trusted linguistic resource "pikabu" and learn that:
"Tolerance" - complete or partial absence of immunological reaction; loss or decrease of an animal organism's ability to produce antibodies. Thus, tolerance leads to death of the organism…
And fuck that antibodies were invented 50 years ago, and this word - two thousand years ago. Tolerance leads to death, boy.
And also, no joke, people coming to Czech Republic seriously ask: "So what, how is it with migrants here? All bad?". And generally fuck that in Russia today there are about 5 million migrants, when in Czech Republic there are 10 million people in total.
Basically, conclusion. If it seems to you that something in this life is very obvious and plausible, and most importantly, touches the soul (niggers, faggots and child eaters) - I have bad news for you.
PS to my foreign friends who are sure that Russian hackers hacked everything and that it's extremely cold in Russia I say the same thing, and they also don't want to accept it just like you.
