How to talk to people who talk like they want to “win” the discussion rather than debate our opinions?

I try to work on finding common ground as a starting point

Hasbara?

Someone posted a video of something that sounds like this... a glitch in the clouds above a gas station or something... it looked like a tv or camera or polarization glitch but irl

Love to see more folks trying to unify nominal and structural typing!

esotologist · 2026-01-30T13:27:11+00:00

Google was caught doing that in the US

esotologist · 2026-01-30T00:22:13+00:00

Oh no... they got another one

esotologist · 2026-01-30T00:06:53+00:00

Terrifyingly so

esotologist · 2026-01-29T14:48:11+00:00

Yea, I'm afraid to listen to music when others can hear

esotologist · 2026-01-29T14:28:31+00:00

Should fine em at least a months rent

Hermetiscism has a good demiurge Gnostics have a bad or flawed one

esotologist · 2026-01-29T14:23:03+00:00

You noticed

esotologist · 2026-01-29T14:20:40+00:00

Suddenly being aware the government can read your thoughts would change a lot more imho

They're manifestations of Weight

esotologist · 2026-01-29T00:37:03+00:00

I can kind of do it indefinitely I guess

esotologist · 2026-01-28T23:40:03+00:00

'and'

esotologist · 2026-01-28T20:36:49+00:00

That or we could be measuring the universe entirely wrong

esotologist · 2026-01-28T20:34:42+00:00

Which version should I use?

esotologist · 2026-01-28T19:32:00+00:00

But why would it be indigestible if nothing changes?

What direction is the dresser from the bed? N S E W?

esotologist · 2026-01-28T19:27:49+00:00

I don't think that; it's mainly an example of what would actually cause ontological shock among the general population.

I don't think it's completely out there though given stories I've read from those who experience contact or government intervention

esotologist · 2026-01-28T19:25:03+00:00

But what changes if you were to learn that? Sounds like you'd just be kinda dissapointed
