who's ego are we really talking about here?

I don't understand why you have to make a huge deal out of it @Sentient23

Again, already refuted that

@Florida Man let me explain

l

Alright

I'll hear both sides

I Strawmanned

Would you agree that conceding a minor error to the public is much easier on the ego than conceding a major error to the public

Nothing

This is getting annoying.

fuck it

not funny and no you didn't

Knew your ego was too big

@Sentient23 Yes

But it's not necessary

Alright, @Florida Man now, if someone is having a HUGE hard time in conceding a minor error they made to the public, then would you say that thats an indicator that had they committed a VERY MAJOR error, it would be much more probable that they wouldn't admit that error to the public?

Depends how minor the error is

Just go with the intuitive depiction of what minor means

Like admitting you miscalculated your toy engine rocket you made in your backyard, in comparison to admitting you miscalculated the engine of the NASA rocket, which will cause the production of it to stagnate for additional 10 years

Okay, now that's a fair point, but we're talking strawmans here

Not Rocket Science

Yeah i get that but esseentially the same principle applies. if u got a big ego, its gonna take you more to concede a minor error, which is an indicator its gonna take you MUCH MORE to concede a major error

Suppose i entirely disproved Souls' beliefs about atheism. If it is taking him a fucking hour to admit he strawmaned me, how long is it going to take him to admit i disproved atheism and shattered his whole belief structure? @Florida Man

Much more than an hour right

If the guy just misspoke, then the best course of action is for him/her to admit it and move on

Huh?

But the point is establishing whether the conversation is worth it

It just deleted it for no reason

and here a genuine debate isnt worth it if its gonna take me hours and hours of reinforcing my arguments, just because he has a big ego

@moira Try to DM what you said to me

which has happened thru out this discussion by the way

I prove something

he ignores the explanation

then asserts what i disproved again without explaining why my explanation was bad

this is a patternw ith him

Its an obvious indicator of close mindedness

I've been explaining why I'm doing this to him for 1 hour straight

It took you literally a single time to understand what I'm saying

It's taking him an hour and a half

@Sentient23 Since my argument got deleted for no reason
