Manuel Sans, doctor: “Anyone who relies on dogma needs a leader to impose it, and will never be genuinely free”
Speaking on the podcast Roca Project, the physician Manuel Sans spoke about the importance of critical thinking.
In the broader landscape of life, having critical thinking skills and the ability to make decisions based on one’s own beliefs is far more important than many people realize. In the pursuit of freedom - even in an emotional sense - choosing for oneself will always hold more value than simply following someone else’s lead.
In this context, physician Manuel Sans appeared on the podcast Roca Project to speak about several aspects of human behavior, emphasizing the importance of acting independently - being able to make decisions and voice criticism when necessary.
“Reach your own conclusions”
“Reason, think, read, educate yourselves - reach your own conclusions. That’s what will hold value for you,” Sans began, before explaining what it takes to be truly free: “Anyone who relies on dogma needs a leader to impose it, and that person will never be genuinely free. To be free, you must arrive at your own conclusions about what you accept and what you don’t.”
To wrap up, Sans added that the ability to form your own conclusions can only come from developing what he calls “intelligent criticism”: “This is only possible through intelligent critique. Make intelligent critique,” he concluded.
“Totally agree with this great man”
The video - now with hundreds of thousands of views, roughly tens of thousands of likes, and hundreds of comments - has captured the attention of countless users. Many expressed their agreement with Sans’ message.
“Totally agree with this great man,” “That’s the real meaning of where freedom begins,” “I understood this five years ago - I spent so long deceived and blinded,” and “I admire him so much, my respect to the doctor,” are just a few of the many reactions found under the post.
