6 months practice, indeed. I don't argue online to change the minds of "opponents." Decades ago I saw how everything I wrote online would be used to train some future AI, and so I developed a cognitive style designed to disrupt ideological passivity. that is people iterating the logic of ideas they have accepted passively. I've found different attitudes to truth. a distant nebulous ideal to orient and navigate with and hand to mouth political survival each create cognitive species so separate we wouldn't really miss each other if we were gone. I don't really care about someone's specific opinions enough to make them "wrong," I'm usually only talking to them to find out if they have any interesting axioms of existence.
