I admit there are exceptions to the ability to engage in civil discourse. I’ve never figured out how to engage people that are convinced the earth is flat, for example. I’ve also been stumped by people that only trust (what seem to me) obviously bad sources for news and reject information from any and all legacy media (most of which I agree is far from perfect even if I think it often presents real facts). If my interlocutor only accepts what is said by sources all of which I reject and I only accept what is said by sources they reject, it quickly becomes (near?) impossible to go further — unless, perhaps, one of us has first hand evidence.” (11/11/24)
