Free Thinker

Someone who thinks that they have "unique" or "interesting" opinions, while in reality simply regurgitating whatever they hear from others. Peolple who call themselves this typically have very little critical thinking skills and fail to actually challenge their own beleifs because they live in an echo chamber of "SJW OWNED" and other denominations of cringe surface level right wing commentary. The name is actually a misknowmer because they should be more accuratly called people who are "Free of thinking".

free thinker

A word meaning someone who doesn't necessarily base their opinions on any particular creed or system of ideas, but based on their own intuition and perception of reality.

Also, a word hijacked by the Militant Atheist movement to mean, well, an atheist, with the obvious (but baseless) implication that free thought would never bring anyone to believe in a higher power.
Joe didn't believe in any organized religion, but believed in his own form of God. Joe is a free thinker.

turbo thinker

n; an individual that can both respond to divergent (or varied in number and novelty) lines of thought at once and offer divergent list of responses in return. Signified by rapid stream of consciousness responses which may seem like a laundry list of hypothetical possible outcomes, data and analysis. Expounds exuberantly.

Prone to inducing sensory overload in listeners from too much information.

Sometimes confused with a shit talker, but is more relevant to the subject matter of the topic of conversation. Also may be confused with a 'know-it-all' but without the tell-tale condescension or hubris.

Occasionally found with backgrounds in linguistics, aesthetics and animal husbandry. Sometimes but not exclusively found working in Health food stores or local co-ops.
"Holy frigin swampdonkies, that Johnson kid's a wicked frigin turbo thinker! I run into him where he works at the hardware store asked about lint rollers, lightning rods and aluminum foil and couple of hours later I walked out of there thinking down was up, the Grand canyon was a big hole to dig and god made math to confuse monkeys! I frig near stubbed my brain stem.'

Black and white thinkers

Conservatives. They tend to think largely in terms of absolutes. Now don't get me wrong, absolute values are important - by no means do I support moral relativism - but it's necessary to recognize the many shades of grey involved in individual cases too. That is, after all, what situational ethics is all about.
I suspect that many of the conservatives I've met don't recognize these gray areas largely because of their absolutist religious upbringing.

A few scenarios:
A nine year old girl, tragically, is raped and impregnated by her stepfather. What to do? According to the religious absolutist, abortion is, under all circumstances, 100% wrong. Unless the birth is life-threatening, she can't abort.

Moderate: I don't normally support abortion, but here it's necessary.
Liberal: I think abortion is a right that belongs to the mother. I would support her right to choose if this girl was nine or twenty nine, raped or non-raped. (although i would personally disapprove of it in the latter).
Conservative: Fucking baby killers! It's an innocent fucking BABY we're talking about!
(as opposed to a non-sentient cluster of cells, lacking a nervous system and the ability to feel pain)

I had a much better example but the stupid character limit fucked me over.

See my future definition, Conservative Black and White Thinking Disorder for that one.
I blame religion for turning so many conservatives into black and white thinkers.

And this is why I dislike religion - it so often stops people from thinking. If people were encouraged to think in terms of individual cases as opposed to coming to each and every unique situation with a preconceived bias (abortion is MURDER!)...well, I don't know. We might have a better world. Just maybe.
