@thor
I'm not in the camp of "ignorance is bliss". If you want to live your life with just "nah, I disagree" it's your choice, and I obviously can't stop you. But technology wasn't invented with just "nah, I disagree" so it's not something I can respect.And this position of yours, where you automatically assume you're right, when you're not even willing to put the effort in to think and explain a position, now that's insulting.

@alyx is it about proving this or that, or is it about having a good life

I never considered you an idiot, but it's not the first time I see you posit that a short argument is somehow proof that a person is correct, and it does make me scratch my head.An atheist can spend days explaining why the Bible is self contradictory, historically wrong, immoral, and just plain wrong.
A Christian can say "It's true because the Bible says so, and I trust the Bible because it says god, a perfect being, wrote the Bible, so it must be true".The latter is significantly shorter. By your reasoning, chances are it's the correct position.

@alyx well, the answer to that depends on just how huge of an idiot you consider me to be :blobcatgoogly:

@thor
You ask whether it's about being correct or friends. I answer: it's about having the discussion, because it's the best way to assess who might be correct, even if we might not discover who is correct. -

I expect of my friends to be able and willing to hold conversations. It's what I appreciate in people. It's what makes me want to be friends with someone in the first place. Sometimes those conversations are debates. I'd like to hold those conversations too, even if we never find a common ground.翠星石 repeated this. -

@alyx and is it about being correct or is it about who you want to be friends with?

The average human isn't my friend either. I don't plan on being friends with everyone. -

@thor
The more you dissect a statement, the more you explain your position, the longer the argument is gonna get.It's easy to say "nah, I disagree". It's hard to actually explain why you disagree, to point out why you are right, and to try to make yourself perfectly understood.
