Is it odd of me to not trust anyone that claims they are thinking? There are a few youtube channels with names like this:
"bigthink", "just have a think", "undecided [whatever]" (indicating that they are thinking about something and providing evidence in their videos)...
I'm sure there are more. in my limited experience, people who tell me that others are wrong, and that only they are thinking about something are about to lie to me and attempt to trick me into doing something that benefits them, and often damages me in some way.
I think it may be that I grew into the internet as it matured, and I've seen many bad actors try new things over the years to swindle gullible internet users.
I don't know. I just know that I do not trust anyone who centers their brand identity around the claim that they are thinking or that they are carefully weighing both sides of an issue before making a decision. People who say that aim to manipulate you, in my experience.
