If a person answers a question like they are the "googlette's" is that proof of anything?

Question

I feel it is time to fess up. I do not necessarily accept any supposition that just because someone now says that something is/was a myth or did not exist, or any dogmatic statement that can not be proven "off google".
I reject googlemania, googlethons, googledogma. If you must prove it on google you are wrong.

Answer 1

Gnoti Seution, said Socrates, which means, 'know thyself'. Do not depend on anything, when you can know it for yourself.

Secondary sourses are for nit wits, and lazy ones.

Glad that you are not one among them, and let people be google addict, do not bother. Only a fool depends on so called establisned authorities to proove a point. Unfortunately, our academic nit wits also follow the same.

Oh!, they were the onew who rejected the PhD thesis of Karl Marx!

Answer 2

Google is perfectly fine for the already asked and answered facts that are not open to dispute (but dispute them they do) .

Google is fine for distilling the essence of arguments in area of controversy (but not useful in determining their relative veracity)

And google has no information anyway. Something found on google is probably crap, but it may be scholarly and complete. Google makes no judgments, people need to.

Using google to find information is not the problem. Lack of critical thinking is.

Answer 3

I never google. I don't use internet searches at all for any of my answers. If I don't know it off the top of my head, I don't answer the question. Occasionally I do use wikipedia to make sure my dates and spelling is right but other than that it's all from me. I am a giant sponge for useless information. (Especially religious information)
