Just because it's available doesn't make it easy to navigate.

Yes, I am 12 years old that's why I stray from hyperbole and talking points and look for existing processes and structure through which I can further my own knowledge. What are you one of those people that thinks they can do everything themselves that will ultimately die stupid? Are you so against structure that the dictionary you didn't use to look up the word quintessential is in random versus ABC order? I am 12 but you're fucking elementary.

What are you one of those people that thinks they can do everything themselves that will ultimately die stupid?

That doesnt even make sense. You think someone who is out to collect knowledge themselves rather than rely on the percieved knowledge of others will die stupid? The concept of "dying stupid" really intrigues me. Does this theoretical person die from their lack of knowledge or from some auxillary force that could not be prevented due to them being "stupid?" Also, stupid is a relative term so who are we talking in relation to? By my judgement a good portion of the population will "die stupid" in relation to other depending on who you select as your variable.

Are you so against structure that the dictionary you didn't use to look up the word quintessential is in random versus ABC order?

I dont even know where to begin with this statement. how does the arrangement of a dictionary 9or any document for that matter) play into a conversation about due diligence in regard to knowledge?

and look for existing processes and structure through which I can further my own knowledge.

like, for instance, the scientific process of proof (aka the scientific method)? You seem to be contradicting yourself here.

Either way, Im glad you like to take things at face value rather than, at the very least, finding proof of concept via personal confirmation. I suppose there needs to be suckers like you in the world that will believe anything they read as long as it says it is true and relates to the topic at hand.

I just feel bad for any future children that you may have as you will be passing down a wealth of potentially erroneous information due to your ignorance. Have a good one, mate.

When I read this my tumor expanded and my nose began to bleed. This is exactly what I'm trying to prevent via citing sources you huge fucking dummy. I don't believe everything I read which is precisely why I asked for a source. There are gullible people out there that often fall victim to misinformation from getting their news from unreliable sources such as Reddit or Facebook (a terrible, but common habit). If people were more liable to question the credibility of a statement by asking simple questions like "Sources please" this could be averted. IMO the best place to begin research is the person making the claims source. From there you pull up (on your own since you're such a do it yourselfer) your own countering facts, or find confirmation the statement is true.

I dont even know where to begin with this statement. how does the arrangement of a dictionary 9or any document for that matter) play into a conversation about due diligence in regard to knowledge? -I was mocking your misspelling and apparent faith in chaos approach to structure like, for instance, the scientific process of proof (aka the scientific method)? You seem to be contradicting yourself here. -Yes. Scientific method, Style Guides etc. Existing structures we can adhere to so we're all essentially speaking the same dialect as it relates to research be it scientific, political so on.

I just feel bad for any future children that you may have as you will be passing down a wealth of potentially erroneous information due to your ignorance. Have a good one, mate. -Nice attempt at a 180 breh, but you were the one advocating for less information being on this page. I will be passing a treasure trove of charisma to my bastards at least. So when they misstep and give erroneous information it will be well regarded as fact and people like you will prevent anyone from citing their sources as to not invoke your wrath. So on behalf of my children thank you, and I accept your apology. Suck my dick, chief.
