12 reasons why most arguments are pointless

Preview

    1. Most arguments are around uncertainties that have historically been unresolved so why would they would be resolved today

    2. Most proposed solutions are dice rolls and it's hard to predict the future. There are too many variables to consider.

    3. Most arguments come down to rhetorical ability and slipping in logical fallacies

    4. Most arguments come down to confidence and persistent

    5. It's generally hard to convince people whose arguments are connected to beliefs and value differences

    6. Little gets resolved in the end

    7. Most people don't know how to argue but they think they do

    8. Walking away from an argument is not an admission of loss - most people don't have the energy or concern to keep arguing

    9. Winning an argument does not mean you have changed the person's mind

    10. Arguments are often used to dominate other people not necessarily to search for the truth

    11. Most arguments have tried positions. If you don't know these old arguments and counter arguments and have not prepared it may seem that you are wrong.

    12. Most people don't reason in arguments they regurgitate talking points
