other. The idea that one should learn just by asking and answering your own
questions yourself is absurd!
Then consider the world absurd, because that's how it works. Learning
is a personal voyage of questioning YOURSELF, and answering yourself.
That is so ridiculous! You are unbelievable! Yes, idiot, intelligent people
(a category in which you fall far short of belonging to) ask each other
questions.
They certainly don't! Only children ask questions of some supposed
knowlegable person, as though learning was a possession rather than
an experience!
IYO, "thinking for yourself" means having no communication with other human
No, it doesn't mean that. It's simply orthogonal. Mind you, a listener

Let me get this clear. You think that adding 2 + 2 =22, because that's your

"opinion", because you "think for yourself", and don't want to "think like
others"? Do you realize that your idiocy becomes more obvious with every
word you write?
So you think you know the answer, eh? And you don't think it's 22? I
wonder why not! The babylonians knew better. They wrote 2 as 11, and
they added 2 and 2 by writing 1111, which is clearly two 11s, or 22.
Who are you to dispute the basis of civilization!
And if you really want to find out how most computer languages add two
strings, you can go ask yourself, and answer it.

I have no interest in portable printers. The idea is silly. In the

I have a friend who has a lightweight printer at home. As far as I
recall it's one of those compaq ones like a black slim toilet roll, and
he occasionally takes it on trips. Again, I don't see the point. One
can always print at hotels, since they can print themselves. And even
in the most unmodern hotel one can make a fax out of it and send it to
the hotel via modem. They have telephones. I imagine my friend has it

doubt that he's used it in anger in the last few years.

Well, I suggest you buy one as a throwaway and discover the deficiencies

them?
Of course not. In the first place, good people don't "study", even when
they're in the student larva form - they "interest themselves" in a
subject. In the second place questions are things you ask, and answer,
yourself, by research. That's precisely how you learn.
