Making a new thread because the old one was more about FireFox than it was about glaring character flaws.
Creativity and critical thinking are not the same. Your argument is inherently flawed due to your correlation of the two.
"You're just mad" also implies that you think I'm somehow bitter about a "lie I've swallowed."
You're doing the same thing you've been doing since your dark chat thread; IE telling people they believe a lie of some "establishment" if they don't think the way you do.
I've read works by T.S. Eliot, e e cummings, Ginsberg, and Nietzsche, so believe me when I tell you I'm very open-minded.
I'm not afraid to believe anything or follow the advice of anyone.
It is you who cannot accept anyone's wisdom but your own, especially if that wisdom is generally agreed upon by the general public (no matter how much you say you agree otherwise).
You draw all your "definitions" from your own takes on wikipedia articles and... anime.
You think you're somehow "unique" or "special" or even "morally justified" just because you have unbelievably inconsistent circumstances and because you think differently from an established authority.
You claim to draw knowledge from everywhere, including the established authority, and only reject its principles for your own should you test them against your own bizarre circumstances and they prove to be false;
HOWEVER most times you just declare some established principles and definitions to be "lies" or "stereotypes" or whatnot just because you have a different take.
Soon enough you will have to realize the duplicity of your character. You cannot be at once "accepting" and at once so paranoid of established rule.
So to settle my case in the Canadian thread here, I must say as follows:
Thinking critically requires a breadth of knowledge such that its analysis, synthesis, and application may well suit your circumstances. You cannot think critically without prior knowledge, else you are just making up new inaccurate rules and procedures as you go. Thinking critically, believe it or not, has a set formula, whether you agree or not. The human brain carries out thought-to-action processes in such a way that can be analyzed and compartmentalized, that is why we have the study of psychology. Thinking critically is no different. Thinking critically is different from creativity, in that not everyone is born with creativity, but thinking critically may be taught.
Believe it or not, but your own definitions for words or concepts do not make them true. They may be true when applied to yourself, but should you switch the definitions for war and peace and try to apply them to the general public, your definitions will be rejected. In a sense, you are actively creating your own "religions" in regard to everything you think differently about. It's true that there is a general consensus about the Christian faith, but when one makes up his or her own definitions for it, it becomes unique for that individual (IE believing that "god" is actually just an omnipresent driving force in the universe, such as physics). You are doing this for every concept you think differently about.
Just because you've accepted your own glaring character flaws (IE disqualifying every established principle regarding your own flawed beliefs) does not mean they are justified. Your constant hypocrisy is what will always keep you from true learning and wisdom. You are wrongfully self-enlightened, a bane to those of us who actually know our own paths to enlightenment.
