Coming into contact with others' views doesn't force them to follow them, it does, however, give you an opportunity to test your beliefs against critique and test others views.

If you are so easily indoctrinated that, if you see someone else's works you immediately attach it to your own views, you make me sad.

Who do you think knows more about pain

a) a person who gets hit and feels incredible pain
b) a person who studies neuroscience for years and inflicts various degrees of pain upon himself and others and studies the effects
c) a person who reads musings on pain from some greek who had hemorrhoids 2000 years ago

>If you love wisdom so much just study science and cultural stuff

>>8636588
Science is definitely more useful than philosophy and should be the only option for academic studies. However, people don't read philosophy without questioning and coming up with their own interpretations of it.
