never let anyone, including me, shape **your ideas**.

i do think **my ideas** are best, duh

for me they are right by default, and most certainly over *yours*...

i've spent my entire life thinking on them, after all

but i'm open to changing my mind,

and we're allowed to agree.

but guard **your ideas** with your life, with all your heart and soul.

and [force everyone around you](https://andys.blog/individualism/) to do the same

this is a kindness, an act of generosity.

do [not silence](https://andys.blog/reach-out/) yourself.

[speak](https://andys.blog/speak/).
