GM.

I love to discuss in an openminded conversation the risks and drawbacks of my assumptions.

F.e. discussing (or reading others' discussion) Bitcoin with nocoiners or goldbugs.

Best PoV for me to review these are to then remove all opinions and try to abstract arguments and look at the emotional reactions and patterns of argumentation.

Be the unassuming observer. There is a shitload of information hidden in the words not uttered, in the way participants are forming their points and even sentences.

If it was me discussing I try to ask : am I in the wrong here (not content, but positive/negative energy put in the communication).

Sometimes you have to realize:
- I might be too fixed in my ways/opinions (good to have /read) those discussions
- Other side might be too fixed in their ways: discussing them is waste of time
- they drag a worse version of myself out (making me too emotional) : it is not only waste of time, it is a waste of energy.

I have learned (and try to apply) for myself:
- be open to start new discussions
- but don't spend too long trying to convince someone who doesn't matter to you
- just mute/ignore/walk away from those who drag the worse out of me

So if I just ignore you:
It's not you,... It's what you bring out in me 🤭
