“Think as I think,” said a man, “or you are abominably wicked; you are a toad.” And after I thought of it, I said, “I will, then, be a toad.”
― Stephen Crane
The Lazy Man’s Guide to Avoiding Thought
A) Find a group of people to identify with. (i.e., moral majority, the million mother’s, GLBTQ, women, men, christian, jewish, the list goes on)
B) When someone disagrees with you about anything… dismiss what they say as an attack against the group you belong to.
The simple method above will save you hours of time that would otherwise be spent in open-minded consideration of ideas and self-examination. It will also enable you to befriend any number of similarly minded people who will never offer you challenge or an inconvenient opportunity for growth.
