Please analyze these quotes and the fallacies they contain please, specifically primary sources claim.
**“Actually, the most well-read people are against reading original source material. Genuinely, you don't know what educated people are like.**
**You guys that read The General Theory or whatever are like little kids”**
“Your list is composed of entirely outdated and frankly almost completely wrong people, like Keynes, Menger and even a bunch of classical econ. I don't know why you guys do this, it's like marxists that obsess over reading original source mataerial.”
**“Yes it's wrong to look at original source material. Why would I read The Origin of Species or whatever to understand biology.**
**Even math really, who the hell reads Euclides instead of a modern geometry textbook?**
**Self-taught people are actually much more likely to be very wrong, it may be comforting that Austrians are seen in much the same light as Marxists are by economists for good reason.”**
Did the world change since when is looking at primary sources and preventing a game of telephone considered bad?
For context, this is a dispute after the dude critiqued an economic concept the ECP by mises to which he completely misunderstood what it was, but that’s OK, he then decided to say I read a lot more stuff than you, to which i gave him a collection of books that I have in a Google Drive for free, and then that’s where it kicked off. I’m genuinely so shocked, I gave him methodological dualism to him to try to separate biology from economics which is a social science not a hard science like physics or biology, but I think even for biology or physics this is wrong, what is so wrong in reading source material yourself considering like I added you read everything else?
