I like people like that too, but surely the world and more narrowly the human experience also benefit from having people that are competitive or even disagreeable?
- dfxm12 1y agoMostly, yes, but I think at its core, the world benefits from honesty more than out right agreeable- or disagreeableness. We should speak up when we feel the need to agree or disagree, but we shouldn't play devil's advocate for the sake of it.
- sethammons 1y agoWe absolutely should play devil's advocate. It is the attempt to think about a situation from a different angle and usually is understood to be such. Not an attack; a shake up to see if the structure stands to opposition.
- dfxm12 1y agoThat's a purpose beyond "for the sake of it"...
- hackable_sand 1y agoYou can be competitive and supportive of your enemies.
