The ten stories below are ones that every critical thinker will appreciate. They are also good to share with those who need a little nudge toward truth, logic and good old common sense.

#1. Believing in Science Isn’t the Same as Understanding Science

There is a good reason why nearly this entire story has been highlighted. Science doesn’t require belief or trust because science isn’t based on faith. It wants to explain itself in excruciating detail at times — because it can.

#2. This One Question is a Stellar Indicator of Your Character

A simple question that unmasks a key part of one’s character. If you aren’t committed to the truth, you gotta wonder what you ARE committed to. Ask this question to watch people stutter and fumble awkwardly.

#3: Something Crazy Happens When You Speak Truth & Facts

Most people appreciate being corrected if they were misinformed or lacked the context to fully understand a situation. Normal people get curious. Corrupted people get aggressively angry.

#4. You Will Grow to Despise Yourself if You Keep Doing This

We are in a much needed era of speaking up and speaking the truth. When we fail to show courage in the moments that call for it, we create our own shame, which begets self-hatred.

#6. Oh — Did My Logic Make You Angry?

If you get angry when presented with logic or facts, you are likely angry with yourself for getting duped or looking foolish. Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s not true.

#7. Actually, You Don’t Disagree As Much As You Think

It’s okay to have differences in opinions, beliefs, political stances and religious beliefs. We get manipulated into thinking our differences are more extreme than they really are. Supporting what you believe in is not the same as oppressing what you don’t.

#8. The Easiest Way to Impress People & Earn Mad Respect

It is awkward to acknowledge that you were wrong, misinformed, or changed your mind. So few people do this that when it happens, it takes people by surprise. And it impresses them.

#9. My Body, My Responsibility

#10. Here’s Why Women Won’t Kill Spiders

Women are not designed to destroy life. We are designed to create it and care for it. Normal people don’t go around destroying other human beings. I think you know where we’re going with this one.

Nature is always getting in the way…. And it goes far beyond bugs.
