What do people gain by arguing over these? Genuinely confused Just to be proud and gain that dopamine?

  > What do people gain by arguing over these? Genuinely confused If you assume some arguments (eventually, in some way) lead to people altering their opinions closer to the truth, then people gain more accurate views of the world. This also reduces the spread of misinformation (when the people who have corrected their views no longer spread it), thus having a compounding effect on more people getting closer to the truth. Or if you assume people never change their opinions as the result of arguments, then I suppose people gain nothing by arguing.

    @VMtest, Personally I think these discussions are interesting as a small part of learning and reading about hiring and recruiting. @baobabKoodaa > if you assume people never change their opinions as the result of arguments, then I suppose people gain nothing by arguing One thing: they can slightly learn how others can react to what they say, and thereafter, in real life, better know what to say, or not.
