A 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.
