Before you let someone bamboozle you, build a barrier of knowledge and skepticism. Otherwise, the bamboozlement will spread throughout your brain and dominate your thinking. There is no better protection against insidious bamboozlement than the barrier of knowledge coupled with diligent pruning. In most instances we can’t choose our neighbors or tell them what to plant in their yards. We can, however, see that the rhizomes of bamboozlement don’t overwhelm us.
Check for the uncontrolled growth of bamboozlement wherever you go. Prune. Prune. Prune. Throughout your life those rhizomes will seek underground pathways into your thinking.
