I don't know why this post made me think of this...I like to believe that I think for myself. But, when I take a step back, most of what I believe aren't my original thoughts. Rather, it's a combination of what I've learned from many different sources and people. I take all that information and come to various conclusions. Does that mean I'm not thinking for myself? I don't know. Do you think that in philosophy it's necessary to think for oneself?
