You are not even human. You are just a retarded little monkey throwing his shit at another retarded little monkey because he is wearing a [red/blue] shirt then pretending you are any better than him
Imagine co opting your thinking and judgement to a hivemind
Imagine being this much of a tribalist retard then pretending you are a critical thinker
Imagine latching on to a party of millions just to try to have an identity because you are that shallow of a person
Embarrassing.

No one is capable of thinking on their own. Not a single person. Everyone is completely reliant on the ideas of others. What makes the difference are the ideas relied on and the methods used in selecting them.
Also this thread is still off-topic. Go back to your containment board.

Massive cope
Of course you are heavily influenced by other thoughts but you should still be able to create your own ideas or add an original take to others opinions or else every book would just be combinations of the same caveman grunts and every philosophy would be the same

No. I cannot create my own ideas. I have never had an original thought in my life, and neither has anyone else. The only thing that anyone has ever done is develop and extend the ideas of others. This is the nature of what we call originality. And every philosophy is an extension of what came before. The few attempts to create something "new" turn out like the work of Sam Harris: hackneyed, boring, restatements of what already exists within the cultural milieu of the individual, and therefore inferior restatements of what came before.
In order to even begin thinking outside the framework of the present system, we have to absorb something different, that is, some product of a long chain of transmission and development of ideas that differs from that with which we are familiar. But the inevitable result is the exchange of one received mode of thought for another. At that point the element of choice appears. This is all that most can ask for. On the other hand, the truly intellectually gifted are able to perceive something latent within their received system of thought and develop it, albeit never in a manner completely out of step with what they have received.
In a word, originality is the shibboleth of the unoriginal. The intellectual aspires not to originality, but to faithful understanding, reproduction, and extension of what has come before. This is the source of all developed thought.
Also, shit thread. Go back to your containment board.

What was the first idea then? Someone had to have had an original idea for other ideas to develop from. If he could do it why can't we?

Also if no one had an original thought before no one would be able to develop on ideas as well, as the thought of combining a few ideas in a way not done before would need to be by definition original

And what if we had a child grow up without any human interaction wouldn't they be able to think of anything at all? Or are you suggesting that humans are psychicly linked?

I could think of more questions but I am very sleep deprived right now reply quickly or I will go to bed

We're getting into unmoved mover territory here. There does not have to have been an initial idea, but if there were one, it would be God.

There does though how would other ideas develop from nothing if no one can have original ideas
