People have lived under the illusion that their rights were won by polite conversation. Your rights were won in blood. By people who put their lives on the line and risked violence and death for them.

invoking the idea of false arrests and calling me a cop over this when my dad was falsely arrested and charged with child abuse just for being brown and having a pale kid actually made me see red for a moment. i'm actually so close to losing it

i just want people to Think rather than Assume. to be curious rather than complacent.

simply asking yourself "why do i believe what i believe? why does this person have a different or similar belief? is there anything to learn from this- is there evidence to support their or my position?" this process can literally be entirely internal without any need to verbally respond.

i think you're imagining long drawn out intellectual debates when i'm simply advocating for more careful consideration of other worldviews and your own worldview rather than reacting in kneejerk hostility or dismissal

considering other ideas doesn't mean agreeing with them, either. it can strengthen your own convictions when you find that someone else has a weak argument, and cement your own position. i'm from a scientific background and i find it incredibly alarming how hostile people are to just Thinking

i dont really think so. its easy enough to exit a conversation that isn't productive, especially online, with the ability to block. i find that only ever considering ideas that align with your own confirmation biases leads to forgetting why you even hold the beliefs that you do

that's what i'm talking about though. the idea that someone asking "why", expressing doubt or a differing viewpoint is "talking shit", bad faith, and anti social in and of itself. i dont agree with that.

it's just so easy to stop asking "why" and "how" and start falling back on defaults and assumptions. that something is right just because it Sounds right, or something is wrong just because the Vibes were off. we all do it. but i do my best to catch it

i could say the most wildly off the wall incorrect thing and there would still be people willing to nod along as long as it served their confirmation biases. somehow that bothers me more than the idea of people dismissing me. the idea of not being challenged even if i were soundly Wrong is... bad

people only want to hear things that confirm what they already think. so ultimately what do i achieve if i make some sort of statement. a net zero. nothing was gained or lost

you have to relax. if you're relaxed you won't fall so hard. roll and try to land on your ass or your side, soft muscles, not tense. when you're tense and trying too hard it throws off your balance and you fall harder

the trick is to treat it like an extension of your own body. eventually it will just click, same as walking or running

it could be that. i try to be really clear in what i say to overcompensate for worrying ill be misunderstood, and maybe it comes off as being curt and rude?
