Here is a reasonable person who is making an opinion about what he believes is a potential problem in the US. And while he states the future is yet to be known, the present has a known manipulator.

Edward Tharp – pretty much a math genius – wants everyone to question what they read (you can question this information by looking it up and reflecting on what you read, compare to what you know and believe – then make a more informed decision about what you will do in the future!) Ed Tharp uncovered Bernie Madoff’s scheme, and wrote the book on winning at blackjack – which caused every Casino to react! (that is saying something!)

Maybe our schools need to start teaching children how to think – rather than learn by numbers only. (There is too much “Don’t question just do” going on in schools – which is very autocratic control and moving towards a socialistic society!) Children should learn to question – but also respect others. Just because someone may think differently or act differently – doesn’t mean they are any less of a person than anyone else!

Quoted from MarketWatch:

“I think the best thing we can do is teach everybody to think for themselves, so they just don’t take what they’ve told in the press, or in other forms of media, the internet, Twitter, so on, they just don’t just take that and soak it up and believe it, but they question it, and ask whether in fact it might not be true, and what the motives are for the people who are putting these things out.”
