Over here at bloomsoup hq (for some unknown reason) I spend a lot of time reflecting on the power of belief, not only in shaping our worldview, but also directing our actions on this tiny little globule of a planet.<\/p>\n

So check out this instalment of The Broth for more…<\/p>\n

Interesting Article<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This article<\/a>\"astronaut\"<\/a> is about a man and his flat earth-believing parents, and consequent exasperating family get-togethers.<\/p>\n

While conspiracy theorists are certainly an interesting breed, the article got me thinking more about the fervent beliefs to which people cling, foundations on which they build their very existence.<\/p>\n

And while accruing age-related experience is inevitable, it\u2019s far too easy to mistake our existential fumbling for true knowledge, unwittingly crystallising ourselves within layers of false assumptions.<\/p>\n

Do this for long enough, and ultimately we become intolerant, unbending in our worldview and unable to adapt when new, more compelling evidence emerges.<\/p>\n

Funny Video<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On the topic of belief systems and getting frustrated with the opinions and actions of close friends and family, we have this little gem of a video; a short film directed by a Dylan LeVine about his father\u2019s growing interest and subsequent addiction to Facebook memes.<\/p>\n

The Dad is hilarious, with some classic one-liners,<\/p>\n

“I could have a meme war with anyone and destroy them…and I’ve done it!”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
