I was contemplating the differences between the whistle blowers and the medical professionals speaking out against the non-scientific measures being used against the population and many of my friends, whom I refer to as Truth Warriors, compared to the bulk of humanity who do not look past what they are told.
I consider the first difference is the courage to look at what is actually there rather than accepting what is told to one. It takes real courage to look when seeing the truth might upset the apple cart or reveal data as false you cherish to be true or counter data which supports your income or beliefs or is contrary to beliefs held by your friends, work mates or family. Most shy away from or flinch from and refuse to confront anything outside the norm.
The second difference is having the inherent or learned ability to see illogics – contrary data, ommited data, out-sequence, added inapplicable data etc. and not rationalise them but recognise them for what they are.
The third is the integrity to hold to the truth of one’s observations despite opposition, denial or ‘gaslighting’. The current ‘cancel culture’ is directly aimed at suppressing dissent so that those with an agenda can ram that agenda down the throat of all others. I didn’t say the education system was specifically aimed at developing conformism of opinion and action.
The fourth is a high responsibility level. Caring enough to communicate the truth to others, despite any potential of backlash or reprecussion. Caring more for the truth and one’s fellow man than their own income or safety.
In order to persist these individuals also need a high level of energy and drive. That would be five.
The sixth is enough intelligence to formulate or adopt and maintain an operating basis that permits them to continue in the face of both the deliberate insanity of the purpetrators and the non-acceptance or negation of the truth by the bewitched and beguiled.
These are somewhat rare and incredibly valuable characteristics to have in a friend. One might even say they are vital characteristics to have in a large enough proportion of the population so the civilisation survives attacks against it, from within and without, and persists.
