Human Interaction: How We Argue

i find that a vast majority of people rely on unfounded conjecture which occurs naturally due to the vast information ether that we live in. It is simply impossible to know it all as such we spread half truths and sometimes complete falsehoods because we do not have a full understanding of what we are talking about and instead offer information based on our limited experience.

An easy example of this behavior comes from classic arguments such as which is better, apple or android? Very few people understand technology, even the fundamentals of it, therefore they make arguments which are incredibly false based on corporate branding messages and “personal experience”.

for the most part, this type of behavior is harmless, after all, phone arguments never really convince anyone who already has a brand loyalty, but often times this behavior spreads to areas such as economics, politics, medical health, social infrastructure and so forth and fundamentally poisons the well of societies.

Take for example the argument that socialism is all evil and capitalism is all good. This is obviously flawed thinking and intelligent societes have travessed this and found balance between the polititcal systems. Those of us who claim the obsolute evilness of one system over another based on “exprerience” will most likely have very little understanding of political philosophy and our world view is mostly shaped by selective political media.
