The people who disagree with me are generally extremely unintelligent and I gain nothing from them. I gain nothing from reading the same argument over and over.

People who I agree with most of the time don't make retarded arguments, that's why I continue to talk to them

Yeah but I've already done that for months Black

Trust me, I've spent hundreds of hours debating a series of topics and I do not grow when adding to that body count.

Probably watched like 100 hours of debates by now

im sure every person on earth believes that same thing pgrabber lol

everybody things they’re right and if you disagree you’re wrong or dumb

Yep, the difference is that I've changed my worldview multiple times, each time going closer to the truth

Most people cling onto the first ideology that comes their way and stick with it

and how did you change your worldview?

That's why college is the ideal place to brainwash people

by talking to people?

The majority of people are stupid and most experts are either mindless sheep or smart but unable to express themselves fully.

reading different shit?

Talking to people, watching debates etc

exactly

thats my whole point

talking to people is beneficial

But you're missing *my* point, you don't have to go talk to some dumb leftists to hear different ideas

i don’t necessarily mean leftists in general

My worldview is finding who is beneficial to society and who is parasitic and it's a very useful worldview. It's neither left or right wing and since it is based on my values, it's never wrong.

i mean people outside of an echo chamber

I mostly changed from talking to people who were already similar to me, but we still had some differences and they argued their piece well

I don't think echo chambers exist without censorship

Tbh

The less general a topic is, the more likely I am to change my mind when exposed to people talking about it.

I don't seek out opposing viewpoints, I seek out intelligent people.

People who are worth talking to

People like destiny are a waste of time

intelligent people can have opposing viewpoints though

They can

to write off anyone who disagrees with you as “unintelligent” seems

Intelligent people have a long list of books they've read, concepts they understand, etc. and there is a 0% chance you studied everything they have studied in the same detail.

But a lot of intelligent people also fall for emotional manipulation/propaganda

idk childish

I'm not saying that Black

im not talkin abt what u said legitimate

Okie doke

People who disagree with me aren't unintelligent, but people who operate on the most basic level of understanding the world *are* unintelligent. Whether that's a MAGA Trump supporter or a shitlib.

You usually have to be intelligent to some degree to get to a level of understanding the world that's actually somewhat accurate
