Sometimes. Other times, I don’t have enough of an understanding about certain things to trust I’ll make the right decision. Example of a time I think independently: I don’t buy the voting-for-the-lesser-of-two-evils crap. I’ve reached a point when I won’t vote at all because I no longer support the idea that people overall need a government to function as a society. It’s been made clear that that’s not a popular or commonly understood way of thinking.
@Colonelmustardseed Fair point! I can relate to not having enough information, for example some medical choices I've made.
I was sort of forced into an unconventional life since I was a kid. My father was admired by many for being completely independent in many things. I think part of that was a defiance of authority because he didn't like his father, also because he was from an independent farming background (later became a doctor).
I admire that you don't buy into the lesser of two evils voting. Ultimately if everyone voted for who they truly liked, things would be different.

@Angelwarfare Great example. Medical is especially difficult to understand at times, or hard to trust a method that hasn’t been “tried and true.” There are times I go with the crowd to find a trustworthy doctor or clinic because I want testimonials. That’s when other people’s opinions and experiences are especially handy.
@Colonelmustardseed Yeah, we most definitely need other people and their wisdom! I'm so grateful for all those in the past that have contributed to our collective human knowledge. I'm really into watching survival shows, of people stranded somewhere, and these big burly able men are absolutely lost without the help of others. We do need each other.
