"Believe nothing,
No matter where you read it,
Or who has said it,
Not even if I have said it,
Unless it agrees with your own reason
And your own common sense."
- Buddha

@NeloAngelo That one doesn't make much sense to me. It's sort of saying that if you don't agree with something, even if it's a fact, then it isn't true. I imagine there's a lot of flat earthers whose 'common sense' tells them that the earth is flat. Maybe I'm missing something.

@Ynotisay i took it as something similar to don't believe anything without sound reasoning and evidence.

@NeloAngelo Yeah. I think that's the intent but the words "nothing" and "no matter" sort of jumped out at me.

@Ynotisay it was supposedly said by the mighty Buddha so take the whole thing with a grain of salt.
ironically that would also be following the advice.
