I’ve recently noticed a group of people on Twitter who are able to hold the following convictions at the same time:

• You shouldn’t watch or read news
• Uninformed people should be discouraged from voting or participating in a democracy
• Free speech is under some sort of massive attack
• New and innovative thinking is necessarily “challenging” and is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable

Here’s to the cognitive dissonance of the modern “independent thinker”. 🥂
