To believe is to leave the thinking to another. To consume instead of create. To reject learning and be apathetic to knowledge or curiosity. To believe one rejects criticism or growth. Most of all, belief consumes your time and energy at the expense of another. Belief will be the end of humankind unless it is renounced at scale, because it is the source of religious dogma, the power that runs the fiat system, and a root cause of all wars. Faith and belief is the great parasite of the human mind - training its host to rely on authority instead of intuition and pure wisdom. View quoted note →
