You've mentioned three years as the minimum time someone should spend with Kant. I think in your case whatever number of years you spent actually working on Kant were not enough, if it really is years. Even when direct quotes are present contradicting your views or showing how you cherry pick from Kant, you continue to reassert incorrect positions.

Let us know when you've spent the actual amount of time it takes you to understand Kant and get back to us.

(can you see how idiotic posting like this is? probably you can't and we'll see more of this kind of posturing in the future)

You are the ignorant one on this.
It is not that I had spent 3 years full time and think that is the minimum sufficient time but that is what I have read from other average [a genius may take a shorter time] readers of Kant.

This is what spring out a google search re the question:
AI wrote:It can take decades to immerse oneself in Kant's work and understand it:
You can try and verify yourself.

I believe, if I had AI then, it would have taken a shorter time.

I am still reading and refreshing on Kant's CPR and found new knowledge I missed out earlier.
I am now reading seriously the Metaphysics of Moral re the Doctrine of Rights and Doctrine of Virtue.

What's the point of reading a solipsistic philosophy for 3 years, that also undermines itself with all kinds of necessary practical assumptions grabbed out of thin air? It's solipsistic at the beginning, and still solipsistic after 3 years, and still solipsistic after 250 years.

Instead we could spend one week or one month or a few months comprehending the correct philosophy, indirect realism. And spend the rest of the 3 years realizing how absolutely everything we know about life, perfectly fits together in this worldview, without solipsism.
