Sometimes it seems as if the notion of individual perspectives and views is becoming lost. Of course, it is important to get accurate knowledge but, even then, each person has to think about it on a personal level. Even though there is so much information about everything, it is likely that each person thinks a little bit differently, putting ideas together, interpreting and forming conclusions. Also, the basis of beliefs and understanding is likely to be connected with personal experiences and life experiences play an important role in the modification of beliefs. I am sure that this includes attitudes and the whole mindset from which our ideas evolve. — Jack Cummins
From quickly scanning your reply, I cannot see anything even remotely resembling like proper philosophical arguments. They are just futile denial after denial without any points or supporting reasoning. — Corvus
"You must follow as told by Google, or the dictionaries says such as such, so it must be universal law and usage. Not accepting them is wrong. You are not following, and not accepting as told by Google or written in the dictionaries, therefore you are wrong."
I don't see any rational or logical argument from those statements. — Corvus

The post I was reading was not much different from the previous post to that, to me, so there was no point reading and rereading with attentive focus. If you are a philosopher, then you not only have a rational mind of course, but also sharp intuition which you can use for fast scanning meaningless text for quick rejection, so that you are not wasting your valuable time. — Corvus
Whatever content your post was, I feel that you were trying to offer me some advice. I am not going to try to argue with it. Whatever advice it was, I think it was out of care and good will, so I will say Thank you for that.
But for your comment on Trump, politics and democracy, I honestly have no knowledge at all on these matters, I am afraid. So from your comment on these matters, I only notice that you are in the USA somewhere, and your interest in Philosophy is Politics and Democracy matters.
I have been to the USA a few times in the past about 20 year ago, and it was only for vacations to Florida state, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Key West. I liked it at the time.
But I do believe that the USA has gone through many changes since then, it is now in a totally different situation from that time. All I can say is, that I hope all goes well, and things will get better for you and your country. — Corvus
