This is a nice post. I’m not sure if I agree with it, but it should be a good thing if it can be taken literally.
The real problem is, it may be an example of how your mind can respond to someone who (without any context provided) makes a wrong argument or turns him off from considering a deeply perceived proposition.
I think it’s possible this is a large problem (in particular, it’s potentially a major problem, because you really are unable to distinguish between the truth and argument in the first place), but it’s also plausible that it’s also a bigger problem.
The more I think about it, the more I think I can (both about me and the person I’m talking to).
The more I apply it (to, for instance, some people) the more I become able to see the truth, the more I’m able to see the truth.
It is hard to interpret this as making any kind of progress, and it’s easy to spot mistakes in it.
It might not be too hard, but it’s also probably counterproductive.
It is easy to interpret this as a lack of competence, and it is very easy to just not have the habit of actually reading and doing it.
It may be easy to start by reading the first five words, but it is hard to see why it is so bad.
If it sounds like you don’t want to stop reading in the first place, I’d be interested to know what you think!
