If you can explain why anyone should care about your false appeal to authority. Good luck :)
I think that learning about things is a pre-requisite to having an opinion on them and that more people should simply say "I actually know nothing about that so I don't hold much opinion". It shows maturity when people do this, and avoid a lot of wasted time.
And you still haven't actually justified your false appeal to authority. Learning's great. You still haven't really explained why this is relevant however.
Mate this is bordering on reddit debatebro shit where they go "hurrr that is a fallacy hurr". Talk to people like a normal human being and stop trying to "win" conversations. This is not a debate, and rules set out by ridiculous debate groups as a game don't actually change facts about Marx, Lenin or Einstein. Catching the other person and saying "HAR HAR that's sealioning!" 🤓 doesn't change history or academic topics. It might make you feel like a winner but it's fundamentally ridiculous.
Be more normal. There is literally nobody else here, it's you and me talking to each other, there is no audience for you to "win" to.
