what does "doublethink" mean?
957494
To "doublethink" is holding two contradictory beliefs at the same time and believing in both. It's an integral part of George Orwell's novel 1984. In Frank Herbert's novel, Dune, the Muad'Dib comments that kindness is the same as cruelty, which are opposing sides yet could mean what is kind to one person could be unkind (cruel) to another, therefore can be considered as doublethinking.

What you are asking is what former president Clinton meant when he actually used that phrase. I wish I knew. I am fairly good at interpreting the doublespeak of lawyers and politicians, but I could never get this one either.

This is a slight modification of a quote by Clemenceau (not Churchill, to whom it has been wrongly attributed).  It is a catchy phrase, of course, and that explains its popularity, but as for its substance, it isn't ungenerous to say that the quote is both heartless and brainless itself.  It is heartless in that it is offensive to both young people who oppose socialism and to old ones who redeem it.  It is brainless in that, in its simplicity, it contends that a significant contingent of renowned scientists (who are indeed disproportionately liberal and somewhat socialst) are brainless.  (To claim that Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein were brainless is indeed brainless in itself.)

It's the same as "blow your top" I believe. Basically, it means lose control/go crazy.

DOUBLE TOP term used in technical analysis to describe the rise of a stock, a drop, another rise to the same level as the original rise, and finally another drop. ///The double top looks like the letter "M". The twice touched high is considered a resistance level. \nDOUBLE BOTTOM A charting pattern used in technical analysis. It describes the drop of a stock (or index), a rebound, another drop to the same (or similar) level as the original drop, and finally another rebound//The double bottom looks like the letter "W". The twice touched low is considered a support level. \n\nMost technical analysts believe that the advance off of the first bottom should be 10-20%. The second bottom should form within 3-4% of the previous low, and volume on the ensuing advance should increase. \n\nI suggest you go right to the source..cause there are some charts that will help you understand this theory better :D Good Luck.\nMia

It usually refers to a glass being either half empty or half full...metaphorically talking about a person's view on life and all that comes with it, if he's a pessimist (half empty) or an optimist (half full).

It means "Question everything" it is what the philosopher Socrates was famous for. his willingness to call everything into question.

I think they are saying that You are thinking about this too much.  You are putting added stress on yourself because you think this way.  Basically that Phrase means you are thinking about the situation differently than most others would.  Therefore those bad thoughts are "In your Head" alone, and not in most others.

The whole quote is: Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than of other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts.  It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all.  ~William Temple

Spirituality transcends reasoning. Hence the term "leap of faith"? So don't bother with semantics. You should be flattered there are people praying for you here, jim. I know I would if I were in your shoes. lol.

Groupthink - when normally reasonable people begin to make irrational decisions as a group, characterised by uncritical acceptance of some extreme point of view.\n\nThink Heaven's Gate or Jonestown.

Makes exactly the same amount of sense, doesn't it?\n\nThere is a certain kind of "logic" that is so off-base that you can't argue with it other than to throw up your hands and give up. That kind of  logic, which includes "how can 2 billion people be wrong" (which obviously doesn't include the Chinese) also asks irrefutable questions of the nature of "If 'BURD' doesn't spell bird, what does it spell?", and so forth.\n\nWhen you give up in disgust, they believe they have won an argument.\n\nWhat I also don't understand is that if the Creator wants me to believe certain things, why have perverts, idiots and outright criminals been appointed to the task of teaching me?

It is a manner of thinking for  example: If I do this, this will result, and people with think it is wrong. But if I do this, this will result and other people with think it is right. That  is kinda where the term sitting on the fence came from. One hand your right the other hand you are wrong.
