Think for Yourself ... Question Authority


Think for Yourself ... Question Authority


by Timothy Leary


Think for yourself. Question authority.

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 vulnerability, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.

Think for yourself. Question authority.
