Conversation

looking at that screencap of that conversation between Sim and some people on Mastodon. and jeez, huge huge unbridgeable chasm of understanding here.

that could've been a pretty good discourse about a lot of things, but people on Mastodon just were conditioned to be pretty jumpy about that subject because many many people before definitely don't bring that idea in anything approaching good faith.

so, being used to trolls, they go "delete your account" and disregard the whole argument. and this honestly is their right to -- you are never obligated to argue with anyone here. some people even do try to engage with the argument, however angrily, but it definitely did not look like it was going to go anywhere.

so it didn't go anywhere. everybody just got mad. kinda typical for the internet.

is that about the gist of it, or did i miss something huge?
