Echo chambers are anti-imagination (BLM, "truth warrior" & more)
When you identify with an ideology, you run a very high risk of settling for conformity instead of maintaining sovereignty.
BLM or Medical Freedom. Critical Race Theory or Truth Warrior. Climate change or climate scam. The list goes on and on…

The last thing a self-appointed “leader” in any realm wants is for their followers to activate their inventiveness, their curiosity, their individuality, and the full range of their innate compassion.
Reject anyone — from “woke” to “awake” — who aims to police your thoughts, control your language, regulate your opinions, and stifle your development.
Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.
We should never be a finished product. Be a verb instead of a noun.

Research and make your own decisions, form your own opinions, and take your own actions. And, sometimes lost in our modern world, trust your gut. If it feels wrong or false, it just may be.....
