The Opposite of Courage is Unquestioning Conformity

The Opposite of Courage is Unquestioning Conformity, Puppets Don't Think

My design on this card is intended to inspire thought and debate on critical thinking, and the efforts of shadow puppet masters to control the information we see, hear or read, in order to manipulate us, and control what we believe to be true or false, right or wrong, normal or abnormal, or to distract us or make us feel powerless and apathetic.

 

The card measures approximately 140 x 140 mm.
It is printed on 280 gsm Fine Art card stock.
The inside is coloured but blank, so you can add your own greeting.
It comes with a strong brown kraft paper envelope (about 155 x 155 mm - so you can fit a letter in it).

Thoughts behind this card:

I designed this card to stimulate thought and discussion on the importance of critical thinking and free thought. We should investigate and engage in open-minded and tolerant debate - rather than blindly accept what we see, read or hear on traditional media or online.

This theme also relates to the importance of having the courage to stand up for what we believe is normal, right, reasonable or good - versus being afraid to say what we think. Chilling of free thought and free speech as a result of toxic cancel culture - which is a form of authoritarian censorship designed to force the public to fall into line with the belief systems of certain individuals or special interest groups - is incompatible with a roundly informed public, democracy, or liberty.

This card is for critical thinkers, who chew over the evidence, and resist having unverifiable assertions forced on them. It's for those who have the courage to stand up and speak out for what they believe in.

It is also for those who may need a reminder that we live in an era of fake news, rampant propaganda, and crooked people out to exploit anyone and everyone. Being naive, and easily manipulated through one's emotions, weaknesses, and bad habits is not a good thing in these circumstances.
