I think the feelings parts of our brains don't know that the Internet exist and that the strangers on the Internet are so far away and that we'll never meet them.
The feelings parts of our brains think they're here nearby, in the same group of hunter-gatherers as us, and that their opinions will affect our day-to-day life.
I think it's just normal to start talking (maybe arguing) with strangers on the internet, and it's normal that it feels like a good idea ... And that one needs to stop and think and use the more modern parts of the brain, to realize that it can instead be a waste of one's limited time
