       Why is it when people troll you about a mature discussion they always get bored when they have to deal with actual facts and have an honest conversation... Like just admit your argument was invalid and you dont care.. save us all the time.QT: https://mastodon.world/@BenAveling/111144462862617924

       @freemo An ego aspect. People refuse to believe the argument they have presented has no ground to support their position.

       @freemo In my case, it usually means that I've gone beyond the depth of knowledge I have readily available, but I still think the other person is wrong, but I feel too lazy or exhausted to do a couple hours of research to argue with someone on social media.

       @Darkayne I think that is often true... but here I think he knows he was speaking in a flippant hyperbolic way... so he must know better.

       I've run into this quote, that seems apropos:"You can’t convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it’s based on a deep need to believe" -- Carl Sagan
