In a debate with the right people your own mind and perception of reality will increase. Debating is not for everyone. It requires a very high level of self-criticism and the courage to be willing to doubt oneself, beliefs, prejudices or simply bad information.


It is amazing, for years we can drag bad information around as if it were true.


Debating is an instance after having informed oneself or listened to people academically qualified in the subject. If it were not so it would be a duel between blind people.

As a main rule I believe that one should read and inform oneself before forming an opinion. To be properly informed is a citizen's duty. We are forging glasses with which we process information. Having these glasses is natural, each of us perceives reality in different ways. Being aware of this allows us to take them off so that we can analyze without prejudice.

I am an information junkie. I spend most of my free time looking for enriching material. Politics, scientists, historians, astronomers, chemists, virologists, economists, EVERYTHING is at our fingertips.

On the other hand, we have impostors, influencers disguised as academics, especially in the economic field. Where the dominant discourse is incontrastable with history, statistics and other empirical data. Phantom NGOs that maliciously misrepresent numbers and analyze data out of context with unrelated comparisons.

Systematically ignoring history. Hiding the achievements of a smart administration and falsifying myths about economic recipes designed to fail and not practiced by any power or nation in sustainable and inclusive development. History should be the fundant base of every analysis.

All opinions are valid, no doubt there. But as a basic rule I believe that one has to research and read three times more than one's opines. I don't think everyone who talks about vaccines has taken the time to do serious research. Basic high school biology already gives you the basics to differentiate between information, discourse and delusions (of which there are so many).

Don't be afraid to look at things you don't fully understand. One of the most efficient ways to identify "the truth" is that it fits a system, the truth fits reality like a precise puzzle. Although truth is relative and subject to interpretation, this is not the case in science, economics and politics.

There are no two different views of the same phenomenon in science.

Unless it is still in the field of theory formation.

The most important thing is to know that EVERYTHING HAS AN EXPLANATION.The fact that we do not know it should not discourage us. Each unknown is a vertiginous challenge, many times you will not find the answer but you will find THE RIGHT QUESTION in order to get what you really were looking for.

I invite you to exchange information, to question it, to investigate it thoroughly. Learn to discern and to disagree. I am going to propose a video for you to watch and give your opinion about it in future posts. I hope you enjoy it and I accept suggestions for material!
