Invite Friends   From the Editor's Desk Groups Search for Consensus, Individuals Search for Truth What’s considered to be true is fought over. Individuals search for truth but groups search for consensus - and society is the largest group. So the biggest problem we run into is this: What society wants for you is not always what's good for you. Even smart, critical thinkers go along with many of society's truths, knowing deep down they are lies. Here's a simple example: "Money won't make you happy" is a social truth, but it's not an individual truth. Look at all the individuals trying to make money. They know money can remove a lot of sources of unhappiness and get them to a point where happiness is under their control. It becomes their choice, as opposed to being inflicted upon them by external forces. That is just one of many lies society tells you. Another one of society's lies is that you send your kids to school for education. In fact, they get an hour of education a day and indoctrination the rest of the time. They're taught at the speed of the slowest student, and they're mostly taught subjects that are irrelevant or obsolete. Continued here TradeBriefs: What's important, not just what's popular!
