People who can’t handle criticism are unfit to lead.

Weak leaders fear dissent as a threat to their power. They silence their critics to shield their egos.

Strong leaders welcome dissent as an opportunity for growth. They silence their egos to learn from their critics.

Breaking free from gaslighting starts with recognizing it for what it is.

By questioning contradictions and seeking multiple perspectives, you can rebuild trust in yourself and your instincts.

Tools like the BITE Model can help you identify these tactics and take back control of your mind.

How to be a critical thinker:

1. Be 10% more skeptical of people you agree with—and 10% more charitable to those you disagree with

2. Find flaws in ideas you like—and strengths in views you dislike

3. Discount sources that peddle one narrative—and learn from those that explore competing ideas

Photo of two boys - one vaccinated against smallpox, the other not - published in 1901 by Dr. Allan Warner.

Smallpox killed over half a billion people in the 20th century alone. On 8 May 1980, the WHO announced its eradication, which was achieved through #vaccines, surveillance, and containment.

Do you wonder why you haven’t heard much about this massive TB outbreak recently? Cuz the CDC can’t hold any press conferences or issue public statements of any kind.

Cult leaders don’t take power by force they win it through charm, confidence, & emotional appeals.

But behind the charisma is control, fear & manipulation designed to keep people loyal.

Once you recognize the tactics, you can break free and protect yourself from falling into the trap.
