- username90 6y agoSomeone who is already an independent thinker doesn't need this advice though. However someone who is a dependent thinker who see Paul as an authority figure could maybe listen a bit and become a tiny bit more independent than he were before.
- elric 6y agoIt's not. We also teach teachers how to teach, for instance. No one is born with all their skills and knowledge. Critical (or independent) thinking is a skill just like any other.
