It's why I post on Reddit. I talk through things rather than just playing them out in my head.
Sometimes I'm really wrong and I get my ass handed to me. That's a part of the learning process.

It's very rare for someone to "win" a political or philosophical argument in the moment. Most "wins" come later when the information you shared or learned meets a slightly different context in a different moment and begins to make sense, even if you don't necessarily tie that epiphany back to any specific interaction, or even if there is no epiphany moment, just a slow evolution of view. >
