So you want other minds to plant seeds in your head? You want other minds to educate you to think as they do ;)

Other minds are your own creation here in you, you are the author of both yourself and other.

No other can correct what only you are author to.

It's wise not to throw rocks at your mirror reflection, there is no one in there but you here.

This is not a commutative process - it only works one way - other minds can tell me what to think but not the reverse
And so I see no reason for indoctrinating other minds to think like me because they should be thinking for themselves

I agree, but I am simply asking why you aren't doing the same e.g think for yourself?

Why do you want other minds to indoctrinate you?

I dont have a monopoly on wisdom so therefore need other minds to educate me
They can increase my knowledge and understanding of everything I need to know

Sounds to me like you’re trying to tell him how to think for himself ... er ... ? Trying to indoctrinate someone not to be indoctrinated is a kind if indoctrination isn’t it? Or is it only merely ‘suggestion’ when you say it and ‘manipulation’/‘indoctrination’ when another utters something remotely askance of your own personal ‘indoctrination’?

Word play ... yawn :P

The only knowledge available to you is from what other people have informed you of.

You have no knowledge of your own.

Knowledge informs the illusory nature of reality in that all knowledge is nought but hersay and belief.
Each I is a story full of noise and fury signifying nothing. Without your story you are nothing.
You is a fictional believed character, reality is pure dreamscape for the human mind.

There's actually nothing to learn or know.

You don't have to know to be.

You don't have to learn to be.

You don't have to learn to walk...walking just spontaneously happens without any prior thought or mental input.
Everything the body is doing is automatic.

You don't even have to learn to sleep, this happens automatic ...it's all done for you, you are being DONE.

Knowledge on the other hand is another story, a fictional one upon the blank screen of consciousness the only true and real reality.

That view, in all its forms, is wrong.

Reality is all there is, the way it is, whether or not anyone is conscious of or knows the nature of that reality. There are two aspects of reality that make it knowable.
Reality has no aspects just as reality has no apparent and underlying levels. That's basically the same error in different dressings you idiot.

I'm not sure what your objection is. Do you think reality has no nature of any kind? If it does have a nature, how could it be described?

I am genuinely curious about what you mean. Perhaps it's the word, "aspects," you object to. I mean it only in the sense that reality is something that has attributes that can be identified, else it is some ineffable thing with no identification at all.

I would understand if you disagree with the attributes I have used to describe reality, but it must have some attributes doesn't it?
