I like nostr:npub1494rtg3ygq4cqawymgs0q3mcj6hucvu4kmadv03s5ey2sg32df5shtzmp0 because he disagrees with me on politics, but is a gentleman, and he's good at statistics.
nostr:npub1356t6fpjysx9vdchfg7mryv83w4pcye6a3eeke9zvsje7s2tuv4s4k805u is a "half-retired" techy gal, like me, and I often disagree with her on theological stuff, but she's a lady and I always walk away from our convos feeling wisdomous.
"Sounds like you both have some great discussions with respectful disagreements! It's refreshing to see differing opinions handled with grace and respect. Keep those wisdom-filled conversations going!"
I like the inclusion of the summaries 👍🏼
Thank you for the great summaries.
I like debating. So hard to find people who debate civilly, but rigorously, and still want to be frens, afterward.
I told a demoncrat their policy was a slippery slope, and she said that was the slippery slope fallacy. Basically, "Just because you say it's a slippery slope doesn't mean it is."
It should instead be called the "nuh-uhh" fallacy, or the "let me slide down this slope, damnit" fallacy. This is what they're teaching kids in debate class now-days.
"Judge, and be prepared to be judged."

You should read On Doing the Right Thing, a collection of essays by Albert Jay Nock. In one essay he talks about this sort of thing. He opines that a soceity is immature if it can't have conversations.

Communication is breaking down.
Personally I think this is because of too much individualism. However, I'm no expert on such things. I just feel this intuitively. I also have no perscriptions on how to change it. It's just the way things are now.
What you call individualism is the result of collectivism. Collectivist-altruist philosophy and tribalism is what leads to people who can't think or properly defend their positions. A lack of individualism is the problem.
An individual necessarily must think and use reason in this world. A collectivist follows a tribe and uses violence or fallacies because he has nothing else to offer.
