I think one of the greatest things about living in this era is the incredible outsourcing opportunities. The world is at a time with higher unemployment opportunities, which means there are people willing to do whatever you do not want to at a cost. Not everything we outsource costs money though.
If you use Facebook, chances are you have outsourced your social life management to Facebook. Now this was something not many considered until the recent scandal. The truth is we were complacent about the reason for outsourcing.
Religion is another form of outsourcing, where we put trust in something other people have defined. There is nothing inherently wrong with outsourcing, the question is will you be shocked if the truth is suddenly put to real light.
Embrace outsourcing, but don’t lose your critical thinking to it.
