I think only 20% of the total population is capable of forming their own opinion.

If you control most of the 20%, you get to manage the 80%.

I'm all about empowering individuals but I'm starting think that the 80% need to be managed.

It's not separation, not judgement.

It feels like this is an ancient dilemma.

I think 20% is being generous. I always thought it was 80/20 and then after covid it’s more like 95/5.

I still don't think judgment in this sense is bad. Moreover, it is healthy and necessary. It is discernment that sees the value in these stages of thinking, but also realizes that they are less inclusive in their way of thinking. Is no view better than any other view? Is being non judgmental better ...

I think that 100% of the population interactively affects everyone else’s thought process through culture and societal living. We all share opinions, some more than others. PS: I like your opinions 🫂

One wrinkle for the 80/20 idea: research shows working memory is extremely limited in capacity and duration, and even a smartphone sitting nearby reduces available cognitive capacity.

There is something to that, but it is not that simple. People often have areas of expertise in which they have critical thinking, but act silly in other areas. I know many who are great at personal development, have reached admirable levels of self knowledge, but are completely ignorant about priva...
