Just say something weird, and think of reason that immunizes it against critique. Then call it a day and call it knowledge. There's really no reason to fear anything 🤣😜

As creation out of nothing is an illusion, the destroyer equals the creator. Or, more to the point, it's a question of reordering and reorganizing.

Zarathustra came back to the world to teach; if wisdom arises away from the crowd, the wise should make themselves heard. But Zarathustra didn't solve all the problems he saw; the last men behaved stupidly back in the cave. The irony! All Zarathustra got was stormclouds!

Nah, there are always influences. Much like OP has, at least, one. Thinking will always be a collaborative affair, even if the set of influences you end up with is implies original statements. Also, I'm not saying understanding texts is without problems, but sometimes we seem to manage fairly.

One could ask: if your values are dependent on rewards from others, are they truly yours? I don't think they're really core personality, in that case.
