3 times in a row you simply linked something without typing. Do you ever think for yourself? Tell me with your own words. I want to know what you think, not what the internet thinks
Intelligence isn’t spontaneous. It is shared. You want to dismiss credible sources, but cannot because you are not a credible source. So, you want me to stand in for the sources, so you can dismiss me. No, I don’t think I will.
No I actually just wanted to have a conversation with someone who has thoughts of their own to share. Could imagine if you asked someone what they thought about something and that just handed you an essay written by someone else? Would you have any confidence that this person has any thoughts at all?
And if you pointed that out to them, what would you think if their response was nothing but condescending?
You have not come across very well here. I was not trying to contradict or dismiss, I was looking for an honest conversation. Your constant assumptions that I am a bad faith party have directly resulted in you acting in bad faith yourself, and now you’ve proudly defended an act of pure ignorance.
You need to stop assuming you’re better than people, because you will only make yourself worse.
I don’t intend to be condescending. And I know I’m not better than others. Which is why I defer to experts and sources that have more knowledge and studies that reference what I think. Conversations are fine when talking about the weather or sports. But if you are getting your philosophy and politics from conversations with strangers on the internet, you’re at best going to learn a narrow view of the world, or worst going to be led astray.
Don’t look to social media to learn what to think, but use it as a tool to learn what not to think.

What predatory practices?
