I’ll be sure to heed your lesson. But, just to be clear… is it that I should do somebody else’s research, or that I should get somebody else to to mine…?
It’s ok to read someone else’s research. But if you automatically dismiss anything that disagrees with a previously held belief, you aren’t researching, you’re looking for confirmation. You can find confirmation for just about anything.
It’s one thing to be critical and say “maybe the specific scenario presented here doesn’t really apply to me.” It’s quite another to say “this can’t be true because I read something before that said the opposite.”
Most people “doing their own research” fall in to the latter category.
Perhaps, hold an opinion and then go on to Google to deny it… Sounds wrong…
No, that’s about right. If you have an opinion, you should be challenging it with additional information. The key is not tossing anything anything that doesn’t already agree with your opinion. Going in with the understanding that you are looking for information that proves you wrong is a good approach, though.

You should listen to your dip shit uncle who says “mainstream media is lying to you, also listen to this flat earth dude”
Proving my point. You’re even actually proud of your blind fawning obsequiousness. Its sickening.

Did you Google that?
I’m a proud googledebunker.
Fixed that for you. Or did you not even realise you’re online right now?
Anyway, confusion aside,I’ve decided to take your advice and eschew online research.
I’ve found some good old-fashioned print resources…

I look forward to getting stuck in to some bias-free research and clearing out those pesky old opinions. Thanks.

Surely you mean “one should…”
No, on second thoughts…
