  • Being antivax.

    I grew up in an antivax house and I never questioned it, especially since me and my family used to be healthier than most people around us.

    There would be vaccine days in school and we would have to go and refuse them. only when the corona hit and suddenly there was all this discussion about the importance of vaccines and I started to actually research it, given I was still young at the time so I don’t blame myself for not doubting it up until that point.

    To this day I’m still wary of vaccines and I do have this deep feeling that I don’t want to be vaccinated but I do get my vaccines after researching them and proving to myself that the data makes sense.

    I also can’t ignore the fact that there is a conflict of interest for these companies to release these vaccines and them maybe not being as safe as possible but I try to follow the data especially from independent research that isn’t related to the company that made the vaccine.

    It’s really crazy how childhood beliefs can hold you so strongly even when you logically get through them and realize they are wrong.













  • Understad the things you use every day.

    Using a phone? understand how computers and operating systems work and how networking works, at least at a basic level.

    Brushing your teeth? Learn how to do it correctly. Understand the logic behind it. Do some basic research.

    Own a car? learn how to maintain it, understand how it works, understand its limitations.

    live in a house? understand how to maintain it, how to repair it, how it works, where your electric box is.

    Etc. You don’t have to be an expert on everything, but you should have a basic understanding of the things you use every day.
