But I like seeing the rational debate!

So I can practice spotting fallacies and facepalm when people completely miss the point and counter with something that might be logically sound but is practically terrible.

The fastest way to an echo chamber is to ignore everyone who disagrees with you.

You should be intelligent enough and convicted in your understanding of any point you argue strongly, that you will be able to identify an irrational or false argument.

Otherwise when someone you disagree with has a good point that improves your view point, you will miss it.

Take the show always sunny in philadelphia. The characters are all examples of absolutely terrible people. We use their idiocy, bigotry, racism and general prejudice to further confirm our beliefs and views on any topic.

It is healthy to listen to bad takes.

yeah, no.

"identifying irrational and false argument" takes time and we have only limited amount of it here on earth. also, once you have identified irrational and false argument, there is no need to do it over and over again. we are under no obligation to sort through a pile of crap just to show we are the better people (whatever that phrase means for anyone)

and i say that as someone who was recently banned for "trolling" by some kid on a power trip to protect his cult from my arguments, so i should have understanding for your line of reasoning, but i don't.

as always in life, it is a matter of degree and it can be relative (which is the phrase that irself can be used to excuse almost anything, 😂)
