I never actually said those things, you're paraphrasing what I said in a specific way so you can dunk on me. This isn't X bruv.

For those of us having trouble, can you elaborate on how that isn't described by "you seem to imply that being less similar to others makes you more you"?

Your answer there is directly at odds with saying that allowing yourself to be influenced by a blogger spewing mass-market pop-philosophy doesn't make the result less authentic.

The two original questions I answered are intrinsically linked. If your answers to the two are contradictory, then there's a fundamental integrity problem with the aforementioned pop-philosophy.
