How I did it: I read volumniously, wrote extensively, debated, reflected, and downloaded copious podcasts on the subject. I studied up on my Kant, Hegel, Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Nietzsche, Rousseau, Locke, Rand, Descartes, Bacon, Hume, and Molyneux. Philosophy is the all-science about the nature of mankind.
