  • There are too many people today who are following the loudest voice in the room. We need to be people who develop the ability and the courage to think for ourselves. As our society descends further into chaos, we need people who can discern what is right, and follow it, even if it means they're going alone.

      ​@@Zain.Basi1 i believe that the more smarter you are in different fields, the less happier you'll be because you realized a lot of things. Jordan Peterson is very crucial to modern day society: he is unhappy because he cares a lot about other people, but on the other hand it doesn't mean you shouldn't take advice from him. He's an psychologist. Psychologists have a lot going on in their heads and they know more about human interaction and behaviour than a normal human being. I take advice from him and you should too.

And granddaddy was great-took the 3 of us wildasses to Disney World, let me play captain on his ski boat for HOURS, didn't even get mad at me for casting my rod so that I hooked him in the back. But I could tell that adults knew more about him. I envied the way people talked about him-I envied that they knew who he really was. Who he completely was.

    Since Covid, I have seen critical thinking completely thrown to the side by millions of people. It has really highlighted those who are awake and those who simply obey because someone told them to.
    I’ve made terrible mistakes in my life but I own every single one of them and do my best to impart my wisdom on my children and friends with what I’ve learned in life.
    The older I get, the less I believe this life is about achieving happiness. Retirement isn’t about traveling the world and sitting on a beach with a drink in your hand. This life is a character test. Helping others (QUIETLY)and contributing to society is truly what’s it’s all about.
    Be humble and realize you really don’t have the answers.
    I guess maybe in a sense it is about happiness, but not in the way the world defines it.

    Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities -- the political, the religious, the educational authorities --- who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing -- forming in our minds -- their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable open-mindedness, chaotic, confused vulnerability to inform yourself. - Timothy Leary

    3. Questioning why someone does something without immediately deciding if they're right or wrong

He is now in Texas, working cattle and training horses and loving life. sometimes, formal education is just not for everyone. However, it is imperative that if you let him drop out of school, you do not let him drop out of life. He cannot drop out of school to go down in the basement and sit on his computer or sit on the couch in the living room and play Xbox. He’s gotta get a job, he hast to learn a trade, he hast to LIVE.

You remind me of my parents and grandparents whose insight and outlook on this topic is very similar to yours, and taught me so much. I do a lot of critical thinking as I try to figure out how I am going to go about living my life, what I decide is important, and how to make it all fit together while not disregarding other things that are important. For myself the biggest intrinsic struggle I find is how I am to continue to keep God as an integral part of my life, when I know He has done so much for my family, yet I see new perspectives every day from people of all walks of life, and more and more things happen in the news and in society, day after day, that continue to make religion look like the root of all evil. It’s hard to know what to do, and here I am stuck in between. While I may not always agree with every ideological belief that my family, or you, or anyone for that sake believes in, hearing this traditional, familiar ideology and perspective on things, is definitely important to reflect on and take into account when making decisions. Thank you again, Dwayne!

      Religion does not require a belief in God.
      Every person has a belief system, and "god" can be substituted for anything that you consistently prioritize, such as personal happiness, social justice, higher education, equity, money, science. In these cases, the pursuit and fulfillment of these ideas provides meaning and purpose to people, and share the same unquestionable veracity as a belief in God would.
      Remeber, what killed 100 million people in the 21st century alone? Socialism. The state is the god of socialism..the unquestionable authority which determines right and wrong, man's role in the world, and subsequently, reality itself.

      Gregory, religion is not the root of evil. It is the corruption that enables a person to put their saddle on their horse wrong. That opens the door to evil-from fear basically.
      It sounds like you have been given a strong foundation, and one day I believe you'll be almost grateful enough for what your family has given you. (Likely when you are a father yourself and your baby is going to college/out in the world.)
      Don't get so open-minded that your brains fall out. Just because there are other perspectives and worldviews doesn't mean that your foundation isn't right. Good luck to you, young man!

      It’s not God that made your family great. It was the integrity of character of the people in your family that made your family great. One’s values, like honesty, being true to one’s word, tenacity, discipline, self-esteem, responsibility, a positive attitude, and valuing and celebrating life - THOSE are the human traits that make humans and life great. It’s not a belief in any God.. which one anyway? There have been thousands of Gods over the history of humanity. Sadly, some religions, like Islam, also do not value life and the reality we live here on this earth enough. The reason I say this is because this religion values the afterlife *more* than life on earth! And that leads to suffering through forced conversations to their religion, suppressing freedom, or even worse, war and terrorism.
      It is our rationality, our mind, and our love of life and actions towards our fellow humans that makes a family, or a society, or a county great. Not some “God” (I recommend you read or look up Christopher Hitchens on UA-cam to think through it yourself).

Yet there are plenty of peaceful Christian societies too today, just as there are peaceful societies that use socialism--look at any of the Scandinavian countries that are rich, prosperous, and use socialism.

    I would just like to say thank you. I’m a former ranch kid who moved to a large city for work and talks like these are what I’ve been missing so much. I’ve been playing these in the background all day.
    Thank you for not only the wisdom, but for bringing a sense of peace back. Thank you for transporting one nostalgic ranch kid back to her childhood with memories of riding fence and learning life lessons from the incredible men and women I looked up to.

      I believe he acknowledges in one of his latest videos how much he has changed through parenting and the wisdom that parenting and life experiences offer. Parenting is a crucible for growth unlike any other and he’s a father to 7(?). Gi watch his video about having it all figured out, it’ll make more sense hearing it in his words.

    Sir Dwayne, I want to express my
    Utmost respect and thanks for the valuable content you provide, as it truly has a deep impact on my life.
    Every time I watch your videos, I wonder why you won't write a book collecting your thoughts about wisdom and greatness, or allow me to have the honor of compiling your thoughts in dry creek Wrangler The School of Wisdom.
    This will truly be a literary masterpiece. Thank you for everything you share with us , and I wish I were your neighbor. We would trade ideas from every ideology, with a pipe and coffee. You The native of Wisdom, infinitive of intelligent, base form of manhood,
    Whatever I say about my respect for you is not enough, good luck ❤

    Great thought Dewayne. I’ve always been a critical thinker. However, I often struggle to find a good balance of critical thinking vs. overthinking or just plain doubting everything. Too much thinking and doubt for me leads me in circles and I often make even small decisions too difficult. I pray and challenge myself daily to find the wisdom and discernment to determine the most appropriate amount of thinking to make the best decisions in my life. It’s always a challenge.

    Thanks for another great video.

    I’m 20 and the last two years I’ve done a lot of work to make myself and open person but I found recently I was losing that sense of needed to be open. And i was referring to a show I went to and said how the people seemed fake and a kid I work with said to me stop gatekeeping. And I had nothing to say back, nothing but pure realization that he was correct and I needed that. Don’t be afraid to call people out, if they’re a reasonable person they won’t just reject what u say but take it into consideration

    You are an absolute treasure, Dewayne. I love sitting down and focusing all my attention on your videos. Your videos get my undivided attention. You have taught me so many valuable lessons and pieces of advice. From appreciating the value of hard work, learning how to be a better man, to sitting down, slowing down life, and learning to reflect over the occasional cigar, and even advice on maintaining a vehicle, etc. I could go on forever. Even your stories like the time you moved to Alaska and became a sheriff, and the gift of the cigar and what it meant to you. There's always a lesson in every story. You are so thoughtful, wise, and articulate. To anyone who needs direction in life, some tough love, or to someone who doesn't have a father, what you are doing is so amazing. Thank you so much Dewayne . "Easy times create weak men, hard times create tough men" . "Appreciate the blessings in life and embrace what life throws at ya". I hope this comment finds you well.

I subscribed after the first video and I want to thank you for sharing your thoughts because I definitely find value in what I've heard you say so far. Thank you for the advice and I look forward to seeing more videos from you. P.s. I totally agree with your opinions on Jordan Peterson as well as Andrew Tate and I find that very interesting and somewhat amusing.

    I was fortunate to take a leadership class in college, taught by a retired 3 star general. The first day of class, he gave us 2 definitions: the book definition of Leadership, and his own definition of Critical Thinking: "The habit of mind and disciplined thought, to comprehensively and judiciously explore ideas, information, and concepts, before forming or accepting an independent, cogent, synthesized conclusion." One of the best classes I ever took, I'd take it again if that were allowed.

They weren’t critical of Paul, but in their careful study of the sermon, the content of the study became valuable and productive. Thanks Dewayne!
