🧠 Rules for Free Thinkers from The Minimalist Mind: Cutting Cognitive Clutter

(The Minimalist Mind: Cutting Cognitive Clutter, 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.
