    The only reason I argue on the internet (when I can be bothered) is so that people reading the thread will that an opposing opinion exists, not because I hope to convince the person I’m arguing with.

      I think about this comment regularly. Genuinely drastically altered my perspective on arguing with internet strangers.

      I appreciate it. I’ve scoured an uncountable amount of debates over years and its helped me become aware of new ideas.

      I doubt I’d have woken up without them
