Nice article. We talk about it this way at Living a Good life Church, a rational, intentional community.

"Since we are critical thinkers we are very careful about which beliefs we ingest. All of us are constantly bombarded with unproven theories from questionable sources of information. The process of cultural secession from dominant narratives can challenge one’s social moorings and open the secessionist’s mind to all sorts of anti-establishment theories. We tread carefully into these murky waters and use our critical thinking skills to arrive at our beliefs."

And this from my web page:

"In a social media-driven information age that simultaneously avoids important ideas and saturates us with false information, I try to be both a "spreader" and a "sifter". I will help you discover important wisdom and filter out inaccurate nonsense - and then help you do something with the awareness."

Thank you for this article…it helps me make sense of what is happening with my family and friends. I find it pretty fascinating the differences between shrewdom and sheepdom!
