Two opposing-but-necessary thought-pathways that you have to synthesize into your brain: 1. Your position is perfectly understandable, and there is absolutely no shame in it. 2. You are out of excuses and we are running out of patience. https://t.co/1irV8ykFkN https://t.co/0ppUCaYmVa

@visakanv This great article by @everytstudies talks about how this shows up in arguments (or shows up as making conversations seem like arguments when they mostly aren't). https://t.co/qsKHxi1wID

@visakanv @everytstudies Might be something you can gauge about how robust someone's perspective is if you try critiquing it from multiple directions and dimensions and see how it responds ("$1000/mo UBI? why not $2000/mo?") Have seen this discussed; forget where. Also this ofc: https://t.co/jSCsq5Vley

Meta-rats talking: metarat1: heads metarat2: I agree, but also tails metarat1: yes I agree about tails both in unison: this is the same coin metarat1: but it's good to argue the side for heads metarat2: yes, and also for tails both in unison: yes

@mourader @visakanv oops. It means that therapists usually aren't set up to handle emotions being about actual big life questions. Philosophers aren't set up to handle their grand theories actually being about mundane socialization problems.
