#21 What Do You Believe That Others Think Is Insane?

Episode Description from the Publisher

In this question-and-quote episode, Arnold Beekes challenges groupthink head-on — the pressure to quietly change your own opinion just to fit in, avoid looking weird, or avoid being the exception. He asks: what do you believe that other people would think is insane, and dares you to hold onto it rather than conform. He shares his own example — a belief that we live in a simulated reality, an idea David Icke was mocked for over 20 years ago that now has growing scientific support behind it. His point: looking insane at first doesn't mean you're wrong, it might just mean you were early. He pairs it with a quote: "If you always blame someone else, you will not grow and others will dislike you." Arnold connects this to a culture of constant criticism and blame — on social media, in everyday conversation — arguing that blaming others keeps you stuck reacting to someone else's creation instead of generating your own ideas, and radiates a low, uninviting frequency that pushes people away rather than drawing them in.   🔗 About Your Host (Arnold Beekes) 🌐 Website: https://bio.link/beekes 💪 Brain Gym: https://braingym.fitness 🧠 Brain Athletes: https://brainathletes.club 🚀 Innovation Athletes: https://innovationathletes.club 🎓 Join our Skool brain-fitness community: https://www.skool.com/brain-fitness-7070   Roy Coughlan · The Podfather Network — Editor & Promoter Website: https://roycoughlan.com/ Virtual Assistants: https://va.world/ Private Networking Group: Learn about a Private Networking Group in 50 US States & 49+ Countries with 700+ Members https://connectedleaders.academy Brain Upgrade: https://brainupgrade.org/ The Authority Alliance: A Foundation of Experts — community for entrepreneurs, coaches, and thought leaders to connect, collaborate, and grow their authority together: https://theauthorityalliance.com/   #BetweenTheEars #BrainUpgrade #QuestionAndQuote #Groupthink #PersonalGrowth #Mindset #ArnoldBeekes #SelfAwareness #Uniqueness
