You make a good point. Our society and the mainstream media foster this kind of thinking with the deference that is given to people who have served in government and celebrities. Former government officials are still referred to by their titles even though they've been out of government for decades. It's like they themselves are entitled to respect and deference for who they are rather than the ideas they are currently propounding. Celebrities are often treated like royalty even if their ideas are foolish and logically flawed.

If more people engaged in critical thinking rather than just mindlessly believing what they're told, the world would be a much better place and the people themselves would lead more fulfilling lives.

I've heard great things about the conference and wish I could've attended. I look forward to your upcoming videos that share the highlights of what you learned.
