  • Even if you're right, if you don't defend your point of view well enough, you might lose.

    The person I was arguing with claimed that circumcision was a good thing because the U.S. is a country with an advanced healthcare system and circumcision is widespread there.

    I couldn’t come up with a proper response; I just said it was due to Jewish influence, but that was wrong. Later, I realized that this was a cultural thing

    What do you do if you lose an argument, but it turns out that you were actually right?

    Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    "If I can't win an argument, I must change my mind." Do you agree with this view?

    Reddit @lemmy.world

    Reddit keeps banning my new accounts, but how does it understand?

  • I mean, imagine not being able to respond to someone who defends the flat world. Even though I don't know enough about this, I trust scientists, even if I can't provide enough arguments that the earth is geoid at that moment, is this a good reason to question my view? We have a lot of beliefs in life that we don't defend very well. If we want to justify all of them, I guess we won't have time to live.

  • I can't think of a single thing that better demonstrates intellectual honesty than someone actually changing their view when faced with a convincing argument.

    What if this argument is actually weak, and only appears strong because you have no counter-argument? Should you still change your mind? Does the fact that it is persuasive mean it is true?

    How do you stop arguing with people on social media?
