When you see an informative meme, or someone saying something you don't know to be true....if you then ask for a source without first having tried to find one yourself, you're still a sheep.
If you tried and failed, ask for a source.
If you didn't try at all and ask for a source, you're a sheep. Plain and simple. You're still forming your own mind by the work of another. This weakens you.
Don't beg for sauce like a sheep; hunt down that sauce yourself like a LION.
Asking someone else to do something that you could easily do yourself is a sure sign of being a fag/sheep.
So we're just supposed to allow people to blow random shit out of their asses without providing a source...
Got it.
No, you are supposed to think independently. You are the only one that is responsible for either confirming or denying any information whatsoever.
To put that on someone else is to not only shirk responsibility, but it opens you up to manipulation.
Not necessarily. I’ll often ask for a source first and then research the source and try to corroborate if possible. Many times there is no source, it’s people just repeating bullshit. Why waste your time researching things you can discredit right off the bat?
Better to search for a source yourself, finding multiple sources to choose from.
If I were a bad actor, I could fuck you up with a source that is 80% correct and 20% wrong, and you'd never know the difference because you used my source, not your own.
You’re talking about two different things, one is asking for a source and another is trusting that source. If you give me a source that is 80% true and 20% bs it’s still on me to analyze it and research that source myself just like it would have been to research the information without knowing your source.
Know that I only downvoted you because you downvoted me. An eye for an eye.
I generally agree with what you have to say.
I didn't dienvote anyone, I said my piece and left the thread, you're not that important.
