I get the whole memeness of it all, but in reality, when you boil it down, no one could ever get all the data and present accurate facts. There are too many variables in life.

The guy who wrote that in the end is no better than who he tries to argue with (for the reason above).

As a species we really need to take a step back. Or else the stupid will win and both sides will die thinking they are right.

As I grew up, I was taught to be factual, accurate, and helpful

All of that has made my life much harder

Teach your kids to lie, teach them that people want to take adavantage of them, and teach them how not to get caught up in that.

People aren't convinced with facts, they are convinced with resonating emotional appeals.

Teach your kids so they don't get crippled by the disadvantage of pathological honesty

I don't think, my family made clear they hate me because I used to do it a lot when I was young

Does xxclusionary mean terf?

Bud you've got far more mental illness than "being right" syndrome.

Facts don't care about your feelings, but your feeling really care about facts.

In other words, people respond to good stories that they identify with, not boring lists of facts or salient logic.

The vast majority of people don't base their positions on logic or data, but on vibes.

This is the type of person who won't change their mind when presented with the appropriate argument with the right facts and data
