Why is it that I like philosophy so much yet spend so little time "doing" it? Do I just like to think myself smarter and more well-rounded than I am? Or is it that I don't really love it and am just fooling myself?
Either way, you don't learn by claiming something but by engaging the world. I need to be told where I'm wrong with some of my thinking and why. I need to struggle with my thought process externally as well as internally.
Then when people do engage my thinking in effective and foundation-shattering ways, I can dismiss their criticism for misspellings and bad grammar, feel better about myself, and prove how smart I am. That'll teach 'em.
