the opposing view is not dumb

cool read that is very relevant in today's world. we really need to be able to understand the opposite pov in order to fully understand a topic.

"A dare for the next time you’re in discussion with someone you disagree with: Don’t try to “win.” Don’t try to “convince” anyone of your viewpoint. Don’t score points by mocking them to your peers. Instead try to “lose.” Hear them out. Ask them to convince you and mean it."

Have to agree with zed on this one. The man of many sheets pretty much hit the sarcasm button full on. You're getting way too srs, if you're missing these ones.

guess i was hoping this would go in a bit of a different direction
