It proposes an honest intellectual exercise based on self-education, personal experience, and a willingness to understand and question the world, without imposing truths or assuming authority. It acknowledges the existence of barriers to institutional education—economic, social, cultural, or functional—that should not silence critical thinking. This concept upholds the right to think and express ideas outside academic frameworks, as long as there is a commitment to conceptual clarity, argumentative coherence, and careful analysis. This perspective values formal education as the main path for the production and transmission of knowledge, understanding its contribution as essential and irreplaceable. However, it argues that the validity of an idea should be measured by its internal consistency, independently of the credentials of the person expressing it. Lacking institutional validation, this stance does not place itself above those who do have it, recognizing that in fields requiring accreditation for vital and legal reasons—such as medicine—academic training is indispensable. For this reason, the term "opinion" is maintained, although qualified as analytical, to acknowledge its limits without renouncing its reflective potential. Analytical opinion rejects the expression of baseless ideas and firmly opposes fallacious, dogmatic, or pseudoscientific discourse. It proposes a demanding intellectual practice based on the study of reliable sources and the construction of sound arguments. Its only measure is the quality of reasoning. It draws inspiration from traditions that prioritize clarity, coherence, and thoughtful exchange, and affirms that knowledge does not belong exclusively to institutions or degree holders. It revives the spirit of the Socratic method and Kant's call to Sapere aude, which promote intellectual autonomy with depth and conceptual strength. Its motivations include: The conditions that hinder access to formal studies, without limiting the ability to learn through alternative paths. The objection to elitist educational systems that claim the right to decide who can participate in the construction of knowledge. The conviction that the value of an idea lies in its structure, not in the figure of the person who expresses it. Analytical opinion is an invitation to democratize rigorous thinking. Affirming that deep reflection can arise from diverse spaces is the central purpose of this manifesto.
