1. La Mala Fe y la Necesidad de Tener Razón.
Muchos usuarios abordan las discusiones online no para intercambiar ideas, sino para reafirmar su superioridad intelectual o corregir al otro, asumiendo que su propia postura es inatacable y que el desacuerdo es un ataque personal.
- A lotta people online act open-minded, but approach topics from the position that their take cannot be incorrect.
- Incredible the level of entitlement people feel to get something completely wrong but still feel like they should come out of an exchange shining.
- Its not a meaningful discussion but merely a youre wrong and im right.
- You are the only one acting in bad faith.
- I actually dont decide that. I dont tell people to agree with me, i just happen to be right more often than not.
2. Resistencia a la Autocrítica y el Cambio de Opinión.
Existe una fuerte aversión a admitir errores o a considerar nueva información que contradiga las creencias preestablecidas. La gente prefiere la certeza, incluso si es falsa, y se refugia en opiniones populares o en la negación, lo que dificulta cualquier avance en la conversación.
- People are just going to hear what they want to hear. My question is how do we now get to a place where people can admit about being wrong.
- I think most people were talking past each other, or otherwise assuming facts not in evidence.
- I think that has a lot to do with it, too - people arent really allowed to be wrong anymore because itll either be twisted as no but actually theyre right or they get dogpiled about things that dont matter, so people just want to appear smart to get out ahead of it.
- You dont get to just obstinantly be wrong and then argue that other people are also wrong about it and thus you get off scott free and dont need to learn.
- People will believe shit dont stink while holding it in their hands when theyre told it doesnt by people they buy into.
3. La Fatiga del Debate y el Desinterés por la Interacción Constructiva.
La constante toxicidad y la inutilidad de los debates llevan a muchos a la frustración y al abandono de la interacción. Los usuarios se cansan de la repetición de argumentos y de la energía desperdiciada en confrontaciones que no conducen a nada.
- I think interacting with people whose comments indicate they purposely didnt read understand the source material and or are just trying to stir up some sh is an absolute waste of time and energy at least in most cases its like a cost-benefit calculation.
- Im getting better at not debating things with people i know im factually right on but its not worth my time to keep going because the other person is insistent.
- I am so fucking tired of people who see directionally correct arguments and want to dampen them by quibbling over the exact vector taken excepting harmful things, of course.
- I just cannot deal with people online today. I just dont have the strength to engage in these arguments.
- Theres no point arguing with people who have already made up their mind, but it is fun to wind you up.
4. Proyección, Malentendidos y Falta de Nuance.
Un problema recurrente es la incapacidad de los interlocutores para leer o interpretar correctamente lo que se dice, recurriendo a la proyección de intenciones o a la creación de hombres de paja para poder atacar una versión distorsionada del argumento original.
- Because people are trying to disagree with something im not saying, and they refuse to admit that they agree with the thing i am saying.
- Pretty easy heuristic for discourse if a person writes you seem to think. Or youre saying that. . What follows will be a dishonest straw man almost every time.
- Most of those people are just mad at what they imagined you said, because they found your post through a quote tweet that made up an argument to get mad at.
- Youre repeatedly ascribing thoughts and feelings to people that they have given you no evidence of holding. Thats textbook projection, bud.
- I think a lot of people like to be judged fairly be others, and dont like to have their character or motivations incorrectly labeled by strangers.
