Thinking for yourself is not taking the generic advice of someone like yourself who likes to pontificate on the internet and act like a bully, it's about seeking out data and knowledge that can actually help further understanding and provide working knowledge.
Being a person that has both eaten before and ridden a bike before, I'm fairly confident in my ability to combine the two.
So you can't think for yourself if someone else says it's better to think for yourself? Gotcha. You're a regular paradox of independent learning.
