Ironically I just watched a commercial featuring Mr. Freeman in which he tells us that he got the Covid vaccine and therefore if we trust him, which we so clearly do, then we should get the vaccine as well.

Not only would I not take criticism from an actor but I'm not taking any heath advice either.

Yeah I just like the quote

That negro is one of the best open uncultivated land advisors taking advantage of western naivete in current day!

Reminds me of the actor who plays War Machine in the Iron Man movies (I can't be arsed to look him up). He's a mediocre actor at best and only (relatively) well known because of that role. Anyhow, not so long ago I read a piece where he complained about slavery and white privilege. Which is fucking hilarious because not only is he living a more privileged life than 99.9% of whites in the country but if it wasn't for a bunch of white men he'd still be going from audition to audition for 2nd rate productions playing in 3rd rate towns.

Correction: "if it wasn't for a bunch of White men and Jews" but since the Jews were heavily involved in the slave trade my point stands.

Even a whore will tell you the truth once in a while, but not enough for you to place those instances in particularly high regard. However, I am curious what source there is for this quote.

A+++

That's why I don't value opinions of people who haven't earned my respect, and obviously shills, trolls, and bots.

Note:

To prevent to be locked into group-think, you could have a look at the observations (or experiences) of other people with different ideas.
Sometimes you have "never thought of that".

There are also many people stuck into a certain belief, like Scientism.

That is true. But if you leave yourself too open then you are vulnerable to people who only wish to exploit you rather than improve you. So it requires a balance

What's an example of people who want to 'improve' you to their own deficit?

Real Christians... martyrs for goodness.

I know that all too well... and people wonder why I have trust issues.

Open is not being open to exploitation. One can be open in humility and humbleness but intuitively noticing of when he/she is being exploited.
