> Imagine how confusing that would be though, that you become the last thing that you read. It just doesn't work this way.
Yet people seem to think that way...
> Am I a conservative because I read some books on it or did it allow me to better articulate my own thoughts and give me better insight that what I agreed with had a name and definition? Where do these things really stem from?
Even though I agree that leaning towards the left or right in politics requires for a person to read, study, observe and form their thoughts, books only give you an insight of how society should work based on the "rules" of one or another side. And not always, because some books are just pure garbage or full of populist ideas.
Also, you can read all the books you want, if you don't understand what left and right mean in politics, you accomplish nothing.
> This is the early argument that video games make you more violent. But it doesn't mean that you are more likely to go out and get into a fight, that you will join the military and fight to defend your country. If it did lead to military, people would encourage it way more.
Yeah, I always found this a stupid argument :D
