"Isms".

[ZenitYerkes]

Nowadays everything is ruled by theories formed 100 years ago or more. A bunch of isms that were brought by people we consider today omniscient gods whom we venerate and die for their thoughts. We're anchored in their books, and depend on them to work. The Greeks and their philosophy, the Romans and their legal code, the Illustration and liberalism, the Founders and their freedom, Smith and capitalism, Marx and socialism, Bakunin and anarchism,...

I don't mean they're wrong, but they were in fact persons like you and me who could make their mistakes; and we have the right to also make our own theories, follow our own ideals and think by ourselves. If your thoughts coincide with other's, then join them; but don't just go with the movements you are told to follow.

I believe some people just vote what their parents voted for, or believe in what a book tells them to believe; instead of questioning what's going around them.

For example, nobody has really tested out if democracy or capitalism are actually the way to go; they just answer that the past systems didn't work either. So why don't we come up with something different instead?
