Dear Humans,

Be skeptical. Ask questions, cast doubt, raise concerns. There are a lot of people out there who are trying to trick you (usually into buying their stuff) so a little skepticism is a very good thing. 

But skepticism is best aimed inwards. I know skeptics who don’t believe a thing anyone else tells them, but they don’t ask the first question about the thoughts bouncing around their own head. 

If we’re going to be deceived in this world, it will probably be by ourselves. While we buy other people’s nonsense every once in a while, we buy our own in bulk.

So don’t believe everything you hear. Especially the stuff that comes from your own mouth.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
