I like to present an idea, make a statement, or show off something I found rummaging around in my head, and then run for the hills.
I never liked debate. I look at other points of view the way I might look at a painting or sculpture. I can't "disagree" with what someone else sees or experiences.
Imagine if you said you liked chocolate chip ice cream and I said I disagreed? Whether the topic is the origin of the universe or the flavor of ice cream, it's all the same to me. In the end, there's nothing to disagree about.
When I do get into an "argument" I just keep presenting my view from as many angles as possible without much real discussion. I'm just not quick enough on my feet to fence with people.That's not to say, I won't listen to others and even change my mind. Sometimes I will even shift paradigms, or as I like to say, move to a new crawlspace.
