if it doesn't matter, why reply?
- tptacek 18y agoYou might ask yourself the same.
- xlnt 18y agoI replied to you because I was curious what you'd say. I am interested in human psychology.
- tptacek 18y agoAnd you have confirmed how easy it is to bait me into snarky responses. Congratulations!
- xlnt 18y agoWhy are you getting snarky? I was perfectly serious. I think it's best to ignore silly things. Most people seem to give them a lot of attention. That's important. I want to know why they do that. Possibly related, many people I know find it easier to think of things to say in reply to stuff that's mistaken than in reply to stuff that's accurate. So they spend more time engaging with mistakes than thinking about the good ideas they encounter. That's important too.
- tptacek 18y agoOh. I replied because it was fun to do so, and because I'm in an epic bout of procrastination.
