[QUOTE="Wolfstorm, post: 85178, member: 612"] It is kind of amazing that we have the faculty of thought, and by thinking, can reach the same conclusions from philosophers from the past, even without reading their books. This is done by just activating your neural pathways, ie thinking. You can also combine thinking with instincts as well, the so-called "gut thinking". Still, for the internet midwit, thinking does not exist. Because every time one thinking, rational being reach philosophical conclusions, the midwit asks for FUCKING SOURCES, EVERY FUCKING TIME. He wants the QUOTE from a book written by philosopher X from the 19th century who reached the same conclusions. The midwit can only memorize quotes, he cant internalize and analyze anything he have read in a philosophical work, he only QUOTES, he is just a library PARROT. Some weeks ago I was thinking about modes and categories, about how it is easy to hold contradictions depending on the point of view, and decided to read Hartmann. I remember his name mentioned when reading about Heidegger in the 2000s, but no mention of modal thought. Since I was reading Heidegger again, I decided to try Hartmann. So I open the pdf and read it. Lo and behold, he is reaching conclusions similar to mine. It is like there is a entire philosophical egregore in the ether and when you reach some conclusion, the right philosopher pops up in your mind to read more about it. This synchronicity does not happen to the library parrot, hence why he always asks for SOURCES. [/QUOTE]
