Opinions: Opinions aren't my own

Published
Updated

Most, if not all, of my opinions (or views, values, likes, desires, ideas, suggestions, etc) likely aren't my own. I mean, they're "my" opinions, since I have them, but likely, I didn't come up with them on my own.

Ditto for my opinion above, as it's similar to the opinions "there is nothing new under the sun" in Ecclesiastes and "if I have seen further it is by standing on ye sholders of Giants" in a letter by Isaac Newton.

Maybe I've had some original ideas or have seen further than others in some ways. Anyway, "I don't know . . . and I don't care!" That's what Costello shouts at Abbott at the end of "Who's on First?"
