Yea idk, when I disagree with something it’s usually because I’ve given it the chance to convince me and it failed. And if I agree with something it’s because I’ve taken the time to understand it. It would be a bit weird to not feel like things I agree with are the right, or better, direction and that the things I disagree with are somehow broken in their reasoning.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again?

I'm struggling to understand, are you suggesting you just keep thinking about it until you get a specific belief about it? How does that sound good?

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

One day you'll understand. Hopefully not too late.

[-] The_Lopen@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago

That's supremely condescending. You could help me understand but instead you're literally just doing what you say others do, assuming anyone who doesn't believe the same way you do isn't thinking about it long enough.

Well, let’s say I had a feeling that if I had answered “yes, basically”, then you might have given a condescending response instead. Apologies if I misjudged you.

And no, I’m not suggesting that everyone believe exactly as I do, merely that it is possible to change your beliefs regardless of evidence. Propaganda makes use of this all the time.

[-] The_Lopen@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago

Then it sounds like I also misjudged you. I probably saw a subtext that you were wanting the earlier commenter to believe the way you did and that they just hadn't tried hard enough. Probably just a disconnect at the "if at first you don't succeed" part.

I appreciate your candor and kindness.
