Building a Bullshit-Free Social Circle, Free Thinker’s Bible with Insight

Curate your epistemic environment by: 1) Noticing who makes you think more clearly vs. more confused 2) Seeking “idea diversity” rather than just demographic diversity 3) Creating truth-seeking rituals (e.g., debate dinners) 4) Establishing “no sacred cows” zones 5) Practicing radical truth-telling with permission. Warning signs in others: a) Motivated reasoning patterns b) Conversation dominators c) Tone-policers d) Thought-terminating cliché users. At FreeThinkersBible.com, we host local “Clear Thinkers Meetups” with structured dialogue protocols. Your cognitive ecosystem matters as much as your diet – garbage in, garbage out.


🧠 Rules for Free Thinkers from Building a Bullshit-Free Social Circle

(Building a Bullshit-Free Social Circle, Short. Sharp. Unforgivable.)

by Alan Nafzger

  1. Question Everything—Especially the Questions
    If the answer is obvious, you’re probably in a cult.

  2. Laugh at Authority
    Power hates humor. So sharpen your wit like a guillotine.

  3. Offend Strategically
    Be rude with purpose, not just volume. Satire isn’t trolling—it’s surgery.

  4. Think in Sentences, Not Slogans
    If it fits on a bumper sticker, it probably belongs in the trash.

  5. Contradict Yourself—Loudly
    Consistency is the hobgoblin of people who don’t read footnotes.

  6. Make Enemies You’d Be Proud to Roast
    If no one’s angry at you, you’re doing it wrong.

  7. Mock the Mob, Even If You Agree With It
    Bandwagons are just parade floats headed off cliffs.

  8. Be Funny First, Correct Second
    Satire without laughter is just a manifesto in clown makeup.

  9. Burn Sacred Cows—Medium Rare
    Every era has its idols. Your job is to cook them.

  10. Never Join a Revolution That Doesn’t Have a Joke Book
    No punchline? No freedom.
