I guess there is some curation, yeah; we don't really invite back those who are unpleasant or can't handle being wrong. I personally don't use much social media, so that might be a difference? I'm tempted to say that people just don't do too well arguing behind a screen, me included. It's difficult to see the other person as a person. I also thinks it takes some willingness: just the other evening I conversed with someone else, not a typical acquaintance, and trying to persuade him of a point. Went through my chain of logic, got to the end, and watched him shut off when he realized where I was going. Not everyone is interested, plain and simple.
- mistermann 7y ago> Not everyone is interested, plain and simple. "Not many people can read and write, plain and simple" was a true statement for much of the planet not that long ago. I wonder what changed between then and now, was it just a run of good luck, or was the change somehow man-made.
