Learning how to assess information without your emotions and bias overtaking you, is a rare and useful skill.
Some folks are so interested in winning the argument, they’re not that interested in the facts or context surrounding it.
If you want better understanding, more than having your view get more votes, then go and engage with people holding the opposite view to you. It may not change your mind but you’ll better understand the complexities of the situation.
You’ll also become a better person and have less divisive conversations. So no need to wait for others to be less difficult in conversations. You can lead the way and be more balanced from the start.
