Nothing is original, all is pastiche, nothing is new under the sun...

All is certainly not pastiche. There is a difference between pastiche and synthesis. Ideas *can* be developed, and eventually ideas can be turned into action.

Why would that be a bad thing?Spouting an unoriginal opinion is better than spouting nonsense.

>you will never have an original thought
It's probably incredibly easy to come up with a string of letters or words that is unique in all of human history.

Originality is vastly overrated, but like this >>7566208
anon said, it is possible for ideas to synthesise.

The whole "if u read u only repet wat other say" meme is anti-intellectualism at its worst.

>why is A so bad? It's better than B!

That's not how it works. Spouting nonsense is better than raping people. Doesn't mean you encourage spouting nonsense and justify it like that.

Similarly, holding an unoriginal opinion MAY be better than spouting nonsense but it's not the benchmark you should set for yourself.
