"while using use the State (~millions of people) as their support network"
That is such a misreading of what I wrote I have to wonder if you are being deliberately obtuse. I wrote "There are only 8 or 9 people in the world with whom I can have good and challenging conversations." I think it was clear what scale and type of conversation I was discussing.
- brigandish 4y agoIt looks to me as if they’re stating their own view of a point you brought up, not reformulating what you stated. If you want good faith discussions the best way would probably be to apply the principle of charity[1] and allow for the other person to engage in the discussion by also adding their own thoughts on the topic, not just sticking to your points slavishly - that would hardly allow for either refutation nor insight. It’s not all about you. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity
