@ryo @digdeeper @gnusocialjp @tirifto @udon Yeah, I know. I don't say that because it's more effective, just because it reduces redundant effort, which eventually gets really tiring. Like, I do not want to explain the issues with Rust for the 50th time, fuck that. Though I guess you do get better at making points if you make them many times, up to a point.

And the main problem is that people don't really want to see your point. If they did, they would see it. Some people are willing to change their minds and some just aren't. And if you are willing to change your mind, you know that you have been tricked and deceived and fell for psyops, and have been a big idiot, and wrong in pretty much every way.

I have been wrong about pretty much everything at least half a dozen times. I don't even worry about being right at this point. It's not a competition, and part of the point of posting things online is so that people can give you new information, so being wrong is very useful. I just find information and make my points based on the best ideas that I have at the moment, and when I figure out that I may have been wrong about something, I try to remember to point that out, because other people should know.

And I tell people to not assume that I'm right, because I want people to point out when I fuck up and get something wrong, which happens all the time because you can't look into everything in depth and no matter what, a lot of your information is just stuff that you heard and you think it makes sense. The worst thing about being wrong is that I know for a fact that I came out on top in discussions even though I was completely fucking wrong, so debates are pretty damn worthless and I hate them. If someone is trying to win a discussion, it's a bad discussion, basically. I'm very tired of that, I would rather just have one exchange and leave. I hate trying to convince people of shit. It's exhausting and doesn't work, and it's a big waste of time.
