These 10 have helped me IMMENSELY…
How do we uncover the hidden truths underlying the deceptions and deceit filling the global landscape?
How do we decipher body language and understand if we are being told the truth without actually being there to witness it?
☢️
There is no surefire way but these 10 tips have helped me along the way:
1) Diverse Sources: Consume news and information from a variety of sources with different perspectives to gain a more comprehensive understanding of complex issues.
2) Fact-Checking: Verify information from doing a few minutes of your OWN research and looking to sources who have PROVEN to be correct in the past over and again.
3) Critical Thinking: Develop critical thinking skills like understanding human biases and cognitive dissonance to evaluate information critically, assess the credibility of sources, and identify logical fallacies.
4) Media Literacy: Educate yourself on media literacy to recognize bias, propaganda, and misinformation. Who are generally the organizations or personalities that have certain viewpoints. FOLLOW THE MONEY.
5) Primary Sources: When possible, access primary sources or official statements to gather information directly.
6) Cross-Referencing: Cross-reference information across multiple sources to confirm facts.
7) Discernment: Be aware of sensationalism and emotionally charged language in news reporting. When emotions are up, intelligence goes down.
8) Body Language: Read up on some simple techniques but also use your intuition and your gut more importantly. God gave it to you for a reason.
9) Avoid Echo Chambers: Avoid exclusively consuming information that aligns with your existing beliefs. Challenge your own perspectives.
10) Be Skeptical of Conspiracies & Mainstream Narrative Alike: Do your own research ultimately and question everything with boldness. Seek truth in all that you do, if something doesn’t add up then dig deeper.
⚡️
This is not a full list of everything you could do to sharpen your ability to discern fact from fiction, but it is a great head start.
This has helped me greatly over the years and has always made me wonder why they don’t teach everyone this stuff in schools?
That was a rhetorical question…
