its rational but its rooted in feelings
or normative systems
And that's fine.
But the trap is thinking you're the only logical person....and it's every one else whos irrational
Which is really what causes so much division. We think the other side is full of idiots and our side is generally pretty okay
very few people think that
The Red Team Blue Team phenomenah is one of the most powerful
most people are aware that they are irrational to a degree
Once you belong to a tribe.....oof. forget about it
I wish that were true man. I really o
do*
I mean obviously not many people think they're infallible
I agree with that
it's that they think they're rational 90 percent of the time and irrational 10 percent of the time
Unless you realize that the opposite is true....
Here's the really crazy part, ready?
Unless you realize that humans are irrational almost all of the time....you'll never ever be persuasive
That's like....step one
fair enough, but in the end it depends on the context
you can be persuasive on the merit of how logical you are such as constructing an argument that is sound
Nope, facts never persuade anyone
Because everyone has their own facts
If you convince someone though a debate or something like that....it's because you did something else to convicne them
Like, you were more well spoken, or your tie was red and your opponent had a bowtie
Literally
I disagree
those things are important
I know you do lol
but if your statements dont follow logical order then people will point it out
and make you look like a retard
You would think right?
One time I was watching a debate
And it was against two people...I forget who. But it was two really smart people, and it was a smart crowd...you know, smart people doing smart things
kek you sound like trump
The first debater came really well prepared. Like, he was a smart guy who knew his stuff and was comfortable with logic and debate
The second debater was smart too
He knew as much as the other guy
okay but lets say the second guy knew jack shit
But then...the second guy stole the show when he made a joke about his opponent being bald
No hold on
