Does anyone else hate it when you’re trying to explain a worldview beyond current ideology by comparing different worldviews. Then they’ll say “but my worldview says ____ is true, but yours doesn’t. That means you’re wrong.” Then they can’t even understand you’re not operating in a framework where you can trust that if “____ ideology says _____ then I can totally trust it.” For example if you’re trying to cross reference different academic disciplines with distinct world religions to come to answer and then someone says “but Christianity says ____ so you’re wrong.” Or if you make a complex multifaceted point someone will say “I read a journal that says you’re wrong.”

It’s so staggeringly infuriating and they can never realize that they’re doing it. They just think they’re right. However, I just can’t live like them. I can’t just hear something from a single philosophic school and believe it. I need to know the answer behind what others say the answer is. The issue is that these types of people tend to be better at organizing and doing stuff since they’re more groupish with easier ideals to organize around so they win in most cases. There are starting to be very few places for people like me.

The answer to this will be people saying “but my worldview is objectively correct so I am correct in doing this” which totally proves my point even more
