I think that’s the appeal of social media; funding like minded individualism to keep yourself from going crazy with all the people who don’t see things the way you do

And like you said, that doesn’t mean you don’t get along with people who think differently. But it can be mentally draining when people don’t understand basic truths, like the laws of economics.

💯 I don't like having to explain where I'm coming from to set context to a new conversation. It's exhausting and it gets repetitive. So I give up most times and just agree with people. I still have fun but it's superficial. I don't have very meaningful discussions woth most people.

Enter, Nostr!

Yes! And it feels good to talk to likeminded people. And learn new things as well.

I recently finished a book called The Beginning of Infinity

One of the main themes is that, science is the process of moving from one misconception to another less flawed misconception

While I think I’m right about my way of thinking, I understand I must have some things wrong so I stay open minded and continue to search for better arguments

In a physical "meatspace" environment it's the only option. Whilst I get what you're saying as feel the same, I've tried (commonly failed) recently to have more patience and occasionally it works and get past superficial.

But if you give up and just agree..... Meh, you're a better man than I cause I have a tendency to go throw full tin foil extravaganza and just see where shit falls 🙄

I try to meet them where they’re at. Whatever they believe, find the common ground and build from there.

It is challenging at times and ET don’t always achieve our goal, but logic, good arguments, and the right touch are changing things slowly.

Thing is, inflation means it gets less challenging over time.what's the correct term here? The inverse inflation but coin conversation inflator? (Am opening another beer after that)
