This is a purely selfish analysis though. You may be remembered as that person who argues about things -- but it could also be that the group is much better off due to your arguments.
"It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit"
- pavlov 3y agoA person who argues about things in a group is usually someone who cares very much about getting the credit for being right. The “amazing what you can accomplish” quote is about doing things indirectly and without ego — the opposite of pounding on with upfront arguments.
- haswell 3y ago> A person who argues about things in a group is usually someone who cares very much about getting the credit for being right. I think this is a bit of an overgeneralization. People also argue because: - They’re passionate about a given topic - They’re actually right about a consequential topic and find it worth standing their ground - Some people just really like to argue about things - not for the payoff, but for the joy of argument itself (see: debate) I’ve encountered the ego-centric “I just want to get credit for something” types, but I wouldn’t say this is always or even most often the case.
