>>21478456Because you're the one trying to defend something and you can't even be assed to use your own words to do it, do you do this whenever someone challenges any of your views? "Here have this 10 minute video on why my opinion is correct" "here's a small essay written by someone else that expresses my thoughts". fuck off with that shit.
>Why study Aristotle when you can make your own philosophical arguments?Philosophy is meant to be discussed, you are meant to engage with it and argue about it, you aren't supposed to parrot the exact words and thoughts of another man, you use it to build up your own vision and understanding of the world.
>Why study Newton's laws when you can observe nature and create your own physics?where is this idea even going? you're comparing a science, that has gone through mutiple tests and experiments in order to achieve an "objective truth", to the subjective thoughts and ideas of a single man?
I don't give a shit about whether you're right or wrong, if your words come from an objective or subjective point of view, I want to see YOUR words, giving me a link to some random schmuck's essay doesn't mean shit to me, because you're avoiding the whole argument, use your own voice instead of relying on other people's, but judging by your post, you might be too much of an insecure idiot to make your own voice heard.
