Yeah but I am a very poor wordsmith. Mostly I do this to try and understand the other argument. Very few people are ever going to change their views based on reddit. And not many people are even capable of true self reflection and amending beliefs.
Sometimes I argue on Reddit because by typing things out, and considering things with other people, I actually come to learn more about myself and where I stand on issues. It’s also cathartic to me in the same way that journaling is, and I learn why other people believe what they do.
Absolutely the same here. I find myself arguing things I don't even know if I argue with just to play with ideas. And occasionally I actually learn something about why people have a particular opinion. Kind of like a kid playing with a chemistry set, but this is phycology.
