Seems good to me. Everyone whose ever taking a philosophy or history course has inwardly groaned when the self-righteous fundamentalist tries to force some weird viewpoint on everyone. Also good practice for business. You'll have to tolerate co-workers with differing views, and indeed, in some jobs, you must present your views to compete with those other viewpoints.
- jfengel 11mo agoI don't quite follow. The self-righteous fundamentalist also has a viewpoint. The fundamentalist presents their views, you present yours, and you compete. Maybe it would be nice if the fundamentalist was more tolerant of other people's viewpoints, but they probably didn't go to an elite college so they never learned how.
- bediger4000 11mo agoThank you for the opportunity to clarify! Certainly self-righteous fundamentalists have a viewpoint, and they should share it. But such folk could take a lesson in civility from HN, and listen to other viewpoints, consider them for validity, and learn and change, not merely reject alternate views and demand that others conform.
