Schopenhauer makes the point that the reading man is having someone do his thinking for him. The man who reads more, especially newspapers, thinks less and less. The most thoughtful man may be quite badly read—or well read in only a few books (“Beware the man of one book”).https://twitter.com/avermeule/status/985633699856347136 …

There is no such thing as “thinking for yourself.” No one in the history of the world has thought by him or herself. Almost everything we think we know comes from trusted authorities. All information and cognition is inherently authoritative. https://twitter.com/sharylattkisson/status/985632511048011776 …
