Seriously guys, I'm really getting sick of this. Yes, it's important to learn how to research, but remember when they invented the calculator and the teacher kept telling you how important it was to learn to do it on paper, and yet...there's a fucking calculator?
This place is our calculator. Nobody is going to take anyone else's words at face value, true. And we shouldn't. But the truth is not everyone knows what everyone else knows and we're not going to learn what everyone knows if we keep sticking our noses in the air and saying "look it up yourself."
You looked it up apparently, do us all a favor and show us where you looked. It will help get us all where we need to be a hell of a lot faster.
"Look it up" is THE MOST NOBLE thing you can say to someone.
You are saying you value their own mind and critical thinking skills.
Instead of filling their mind with YOUR opinions, you are allowing them the opportunity to research the subject for themselves without tainting it. Such wonder! Then we can reconvene and have a discussion that will truly allow for a difference of opinion and hopefully better understandings for both as we now uncover the truth, probably somewhere in the middle, from our different angles.
Amen brother!
False. "This is what I think and this is why I think so, here's what I read that made me think this way. Don't take my word for it" is the most noble thing you can say to someone.
Ask yourself honestly, why are you even on this site? To gossip? I hope not. To brag that you know more than others and scoff at their ignorance? Again, I hope not. Hopefully the reason you're here is the reason most of us are here: to save humanity.
For example: do you think for a second that if I wanted to know the truth about vaccine injuries and everyone on here just said "look it up" that I would have known that the VAERS site even existed? Fuck no. But once I knew it did, did I go there and consume what it had? Yeah. I did. So thank you to whomever it was who brought up VAERS because if not, I would have been relying on bogus communist search engines to help me and I would have been just as lost as all the normies out there.
Tell people what you've learned, tell them where you learned it. It's fucking simple.
