2. "because these things apply to the entire universe"? How would you know what applies to the entire universe?
3. Your opinions are too plebeian in nature for me to take you seriously.
1. Here's your opportunity. Explain how I'm wrong. How is my perspective "common"? Use references. And by association, if you claim that I'm wrong abut "everything", then that must mean you are "right". So demonstrate this. How are you right about everything?
2. Physical laws, for one thing. Mathematics, also. And logic. These things are universal as far as we know, meaning there's no evidence to suggest these concepts behave differently on mars than on earth. There's always the possibility, so no one who has any sense speaks in absolute terms.
3. Plebian. Now that's a strange adjective to apply here. Plebian just means "common". So by saying my understanding of things is "common", you are giving me quite the compliment. You are saying I'm not out on the fringe, which I absolutely agree. What subjects I've studied, it's been pretty obvious that I'm not a genius in them, so learning from those that have far more accomplishments seems to be a good bet. What you seem to be saying is that anyone who accepts the consensus on a given subject is not worthy of your interest. That's fine with me, but you are the outlier. If you want to prove the earth is flat, it's up to you to provide the evidence (I say this figuratively in case that's not clear).
Why is it so?
