How do I learn to think for myself?

Certainly by asking someone else and unquestioningly following their advice, so you're already on the right track!

If I told you then you wouldn't be thinking for yourself, would you?

Joking aside I honestly believe it's based on a person's personality. Some people just aren't cut for critical thinking or it just never crossed their mind to just stop and think about their lives and the choices they made. It just has to happen naturally, you can't be taught how.

Anon, don't you think that's asking a bit too much?

>> No.7044451

Here's a question, if someone told you to "think for yourself" and you followed his/her advice and started "thinking for yourself" would you actually be thinking for yourself? Because you technically just obeyed the thoughts of someone else

Just get your opinions from 4chan posts, formulate them in your own words and spout them to your friends and family. It's what I've been doing for years.

I sometimes spoil films for myself when watching them with friends so I can pretend to be really smart by fully understanding it immediately. I have really strong opinions on lots of classic literature, some of which I've actually read.

I'm a horrendously broken individual.
