Try to think like an intelligence analyst would, its not easy but it is a skill I developed when I was very young. A surprising number of Xers do this on an instinctive level, they don' realize they are doing it. Find out where I got my account name from and apply the five questions. You will often understand a person better than they understand themselves. Only princeofcats ever figured out why I chose the name Galen for my user name.Five questions? As for your name no I do not know where it originated from. As a child I never had to worry about biased news sources here in my country and until quite recently I have only now started thinking about it only because of America.
Every time I post an article you see an important clue about the name I chose. You are just so used seeing it that you ignore it. This is one answer that you must discover for yourself. Once you know where the name Galen comes from the five questions will be self evident. Bias is often revealed in the trivial and ubiquitous items around us. The ability to discern them must be learned which means the answer can not simply be given. Learning to do this is yet another of the most annoying aspects of being a member of Generation X but having some of the Lost around made learning this vital skill a little easier to me.
Truth is, I am surprised no one has figured it out. Princeofcats had even less to work with when he figured it out.
