I mean, we all hear about people thinking what they think only because the people around them think it too. So how do you avoid doing that?

If someone is proposing a simple solution to a complex problem, there is a good chance they don't understand it or they are trying to control your opinions.

If you receive some information (no matter how) and you feel a strong emotion, be extra skeptical.
