Philosophy: The Weighting of Advice in Two Ways 11 29 2018

Philosophy: The Weighting of Advice in Two Ways 11 29 2018

1.  Independent of the person giving the advice.
2.  Dependent on your relationship with such person or such persons like such person and prior known motivations of such persons.

So indeed you have to weight advice in both ways.  Does it makes sense independent of the person?  Does is make sense dependent on the person?

And indeed what do you have faith in?  Yourself or other people?  Do you truly have faith in yourself?  If you did you would never read of advice or weight it?  Do you have faith in other people more than you ever would yourself?  Then you could be considered someone that is naive and easily taken advantage of.  Not to make you paranoid, but crooked people do target people like you.

So indeed you weight the advice in two ways.  Then you weight both of those ways against each other in an attempt to categorize what is important and what isn't to the subject matter.  Have you known people of the personality type to be wrong?  Has media or literature (perhaps history) that you have read painted an accurate picture of the person or persons in number two above that you have to draw on?

When you laugh at something is it because it resonates is consistent with the validity of your personal experience in some way?  To not laugh at the fool would make you a victim of the next fool?  To laugh at someone smarter than you because of the futility of you being like them?  That makes your experience of life even more futile?  Have you ever considered that you have a controlled belief system?

Excelsior.
