Have a strong enough grip of the history of philosophy to realize what criticism is relevant and what is washed up.
I honestly get the impression that the average man could do philosophy, but he pathologically misinterprets texts, comes up with dogshit criticism and gradually locks himself into retarded opinions.
Respect the author. He's a person, who thinks, and you need to always assume your criticism doesn't work. You'll notice if the criticism is actually correct, trust me.
