    Big difference between trying to understand what others think and trying to be RIGHT. I feel like your athletic abilities is very low.

    The best way to divine truth is to argue your respective opinions as well as you can, with 100% intellectual honesty. It's a weak bitch version of understanding to say "ok this is what you believe" but think "it's ridiculous, have a nice day idiot" in your head.

    That's not even necessarily understanding, because your opinions will only face the rigor of your own analysis. It's called peer review in science, but I guess when it's not science it's just pseudo-intellectual pretense. Or the socratic method, dialectic, or whatever.

    What? That's the whole point of arguing, you tear down my bullshit and I tear down yours. And then we bridge the gap of reasoning between the two of us. Ideally, if both of you are intellectually honest enough and smart enough to rip each other's bad assumptions down, you walk away knowing where both of you came from, but now walking down a path somewhere in between the one both of you were walking before the conversation.

    But whatever. At the end of the day, if you don't actually want to talk to someone, don't use a forum. People like arguing as much as they like chatting casually. Deal with it, NIGGA.

    No no, I meant... the weak bitch version of understanding shouldn't even be called a version of understanding. I need to quote more specifically haha.

    Yeah, not arguing is the epitome of "I want to be right"... You want to be right, IN YOUR HEAD. You don't want to argue. You don't want to see why the other person is saying what they're saying or how they jsutify it. You just want to dismiss their problematic points and move on. It's literally just voluntary ignorance.

    Though, we have argued just for the sake of it before, let's be honest.

    It's called asking a question, fucklord. You see how RisiR did it right? Still conducive to conversation. Still furthers understanding. But instead of being a dick and arguing with the other person in favor of your opinion, you're actually trying to understand them. Philosophy is not a debate. You aren't going to convince the other person to change their philosophical beliefs.

    True that. As I said, it's fun to argue, specially when you "win" Vs an insistent or dumb opponent.

    I'll be the judge of that, bic boi

    After thorough consideration, I've concluded my investigation and it is my judgment that RisiR is in fact a stud.
