Dear Reality Check,
It’s time for a little philosophical wake-up call. We’re tipping our hats to Descartes, who once pinched himself out of the dream of doubt with a simple realization: “I think, therefore I am.” But let’s go a step further and ask: how do we know when we’re the ones lulling ourselves into a comfortable dream of assumptions?
Dear Reality Check, we’re inviting you in to help us pinch ourselves awake. Sometimes we’re so deep in our own paradigms that we don’t see when we’re the ones spinning the tale. So let’s step outside our own storylines for a moment and give them a little poke. Are we dreaming? And if so, what would waking up feel like?
And here’s our question to you: Are you willing to pinch yourself and test your own assumptions? What dreams might you be ready to wake up from, and what new realities might you discover on the other side?
With a gentle nudge and a smile,
~ The Radical Left
