Summary
In this recording for my UK Column show, Peter Duke of the excellent Duke Report and I discussed how language directly shapes our thoughts, and therefore how we see the world. In other words, if you believe your thoughts aren't influenced by outside forces, you're delusional. The good news, as Peter points out, is that awareness of these mechanisms gives you the power to push back—and start thinking for yourself. ➡️ Go to either ukcolumn.org or jermwarfare.com to find out more about Peter. ➡️ Please support my work .
