0:03.7 | Now administering third eye drops. My friend everyone wants to fancy themselves a free thinker. |
0:28.0 | It's hard to imagine someone readily admitting to the fact that they're not. |
0:35.5 | Like you'd almost have to have no balls whatsoever to say, |
0:41.2 | no, I'm not really a free thinker I I totally just get caught up in the current |
0:46.4 | of societal pressure and that determines my thoughts |
0:51.6 | But to actually be one, you've got to be pretty daring because standing for |
0:58.0 | something is scary. It does require courage because it is possible that you'll face ridicule. |
