📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
What are the idols in my mind that cloud my judgment and prevent me from seeing the truth?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Bacon commands us to shatter the four prejudices that keep us from seeing the world as it truly is—the idols. The idols of the Tribe, the Cave, the Marketplace, and the Theatre. Reading this book, I realized how thin a layer of preconception the foundation of my thinking rested upon. True knowledge begins in doubting established authority and worn-out habit. Bacon's cry to tear down old ways of thinking and advance toward fresh observation and experience threw open the windows of my intellect.
