It's like when someone told me they didn't care about empirical evidence, and they only trusted what had been tested in the field, recorded and proven to work.
I find people so funny sometimes, but also painful to listen to. I really regret taking those logic courses back in college last year, because now everything that everyone says to me sounds like total bullshit.
I have so much empathy for that. I may or may not be a huge rhetoric and philosophy nerd.
It's become more difficult to casually engage with people. I need to learn to bite my lip more often. Common sense seems to really piss people off for some reason.
English, for the longest time, was my passion (along with arguing). It's only natural that it branched into using it correctly to discuss and debate xD
I just get so flustered, though. I'm sitting there, discussing a topic with someone (friend or otherwise), they say something COMPLETELY stupid and baseless, and every point I make goes right over their head, or they ignore them and pretend they won, as if it was something to win in the first place...
Yeah, I know... and in this community that happens WAY too often.
I'm trying to mentally condition myself that staying silent is like actually like staying two steps ahead. There's
1) Them (making no sense)
2) You (making sense)
3) Them not listening to you making sense
4) You pretending to be okay with it, and keeping logical knowledge to yourself
