Free Thinker
by Autumn's Modesty on Sep 20, 2009 05:27:48
A
philosophical viewpoint that opinions or beliefs of reality should be based on science,
logic and reason. Ideas should not be derived from religion, authority, governments or
dogmas.
Example:
A free thinker should not reject nor accept any proposed
truths of
organized religion, established norms, media, etc. They should determine if the belief is valid based on their own knowledge,
intuition, research and reason. Just because other people believe in it, doesn't mean it's right! Use your own judgment and think critically!

a) One who relies solely on themselves to make judgments based on their own
perception of the world rather than blindly accepting what is told or
implied by an outside influence, which is usually some kind of
authoritarian figure.
Usually associated with non-conformists...
Example:
Very few people in this world have realized that they have
access to and the ability to perform independent thought. While everyone has the ability, only
the free thinker uses it, because he knows what he wants.

Someone who thinks that they have "unique" or "interesting" opinions, while in reality simply regurgitating whatever they hear from others. Peolple who call themselves this typically have very little
critical thinking skills and fail to actually challenge their own beleifs because they live in an
echo chamber of "SJW OWNED" and other denominations of cringe
surface level right wing commentary. The name is actually a misknowmer because they should be more accuratly called people who are "Free of thinking".
Example:
Person 1: Bro I had to sit next to some "
free thinker" in my
social studies class, he kept arguing with the teacher about stuff that no one cares about
Person 2: Guess you won't be cheating off your neigbor this
semester.

A word meaning someone who doesn't necessarily base their opinions on any particular creed or system of ideas, but based on their own intuition and perception of reality.
Also, a word hijacked by the
Militant Atheist movement to mean, well, an atheist, with the obvious (but
baseless)
implication that free thought would never bring anyone to believe in a higher power.

Years of misuse has reduced the term to a self-branded label for pretentious
adolescents who have only just realized that the universe isn't what their parents/
guardians lead them to believe like most rational individuals who reach this
epiphany at the age of 6 but for lack of better word and/or urge to sound like pretentious adolescents who have only just realized that the universe isn't what their parents/guardians lead them to believe is used to describe anything from the classical definition of open-mindedness to being-like-the-rest-of-us-who-are-different-to-you.
Example:
a: "What religion are you?"
b: "I'm a free thinker"
a: "What?"
b: "I'm not really sure whether god exists"
a: "So you're
agnostic?"
b: "No, I'm a free thinker"
a: "That's a little vague; you could be a
free thinking atheist or free thinking agnostic but saying free thinker doesn't tell anyone what you believe in"
b: "But I'm a free thinker"
a: "Do you even know what that means?"
b: "My friends are
free thinkers"

What
conspiracy theorists claim themselves to be to make themselves to be as they don't follow the official
MSM narrative. Essentially it is a term used to make themselves feel smarter and believe that
in the know, therefore alleviating their feelings of superiority over other people.
Example:
BBC News: Scientists say that wearing masks protects other from the virus.
Billy-Bob Joe on Youtube with an IQ of 62: I'm a "
free thinker", I will not be a sheep, therefore I will not be wearing a smelly mask. They make people look like
poo poo heads.

Example:
To
misquote a
South park episode:
"Hey how do I become a 'free thinker'?"
"You have to hate
George Bush like we do, and have the exact same political beliefs that we have."

A social group of
lefties who claim to be intelligent because they bitch about religion, current governments, oil, iraq and anything else while not contributing any ideas to solve these 'problems' other than total
elimination and turning the human race into mindless
drones. Usually a feminist or hit by thier girlfriend, which they call 'dominant female life partner'
