In this video, we consider how perhaps one of the best ways to always be right is to realize you are probably wrong; and perhaps the best way to win most arguments is to not get in them.

To truly watch these videos takes real courage because it often destroys my perceptions/illusions of reality
yes good job
Yeah its kinda going to a gym 💁🏻♂️
Yeah you are right… 🤯
yes we should pat ourselves on the back for watching this
Aahhh I apologise for not being as fearless and open-minded as you guys are. I suppose I should get over myself 🫡
Humanity as a whole need to come to the realization that being wrong is not weakness, like in how failing isn't weakness, but a learning process in succeeding. I believe the most major hindrance to this is the ego. It stands like a bodyguard of sorts, limiting us from much greater potential than people realize. It isn't worth defending a facade of who you think, or who you want to be, if it limits so much potential in reasoning.
Being wrong all the time helps me
This
I have talked to a lot of people who act like they are completely fine with believing inaccurate things. I see 2 main reasons. 1 is that they will do anything to avoid the cognitive dissonance and the other is that their perception is on such shaky footing that they really know what it would take to destroy their metaphorical Jenga tower of belief systems and they definitely can't handle a complete collapse of their identity as it relates to what we call reality. It's a hard balance to find though because I find myself on the other side of the spectrum and I find it difficult to accept what I thought I knew it's been a solid decade of unraveling all of my presuppositions of the world and I have just recently started trying to build it back up but it's sort of a journey to be taken on your own. The only problem is that you have no real way to evaluate any outside influences that may impact your conclusions in such a way that you can get lost in just the process of evaluation. I know I have and I know that what has become a normal thought pattern for me is very uncomfortable for other people. But how can I tell when I confront someone about something they believe that I went to far when my mind is overflowing with competing ideas about things that were fundamental and foundational to so many other beliefs. It's a tough one
What I like about our Nation...We have a right to be wrong
Along these lines, people must also learn that smiling and kindness are not weaknesses.
This is so good. Whoever writes these scripts has such a great understanding of not only philosophy and history but language as well. I wish I could speak this eloquently.
fr that hella true
That’s Robert Pantano for ya
Agree 👍
Me too. I feel like I have never been to school after listening to this guy.
You are absolutely right. I study English as a second language and i think this channel is a boon. It provides great means for language learners in terms of vocab and grammar. The pieces of content are relevant but it requires a mind of organization and order to put them all together and form a coherent, logical, persuasive argumentation.
The mistake so many of us also make is when someone points out a fault in our logic or tries to explain why we're wrong ( even if done so in a civilized and non-condescending manner ) we often get mad because we don't want to be wrong and we double down on our wrong opinion and look for others to agree with us as confirmation that we are right. It's not easy but if I'm wrong and someone can be civilized about why I am wrong about whatever, I do my best to try and see things from their point of view because all I know is there is a LOT I don't know and a LOT None of us know or can know.
I think you’re wrong.
They get mad because they get critiqued when they didn’t ask to be.
@@vwr32jeep Well, on the internet if you type something that is wrong on a public forum, you are going to get critiqued whether you asked for it or not. You can't post a public comment and than get angry that anyone responded to your comment that either disagrees or points out the flaws in your comment. There have been times when I've had to swallow my pride and humble my ego. When someone else makes a good valid point about the flaws in my comment. I accept it. Maybe I am wrong about why people get mad. I can accept that, but again on a public comment section. People should expect that not everyone is going to agree with them and some will call them out when they are wrong. That's their right to do so. It's all on how you handle it afterwards, IMO. Again maybe my comment is completely wrong in every way. An if so, I accept it and I'm moving on.
@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT
I was just saying you’re wrong to see if you passed your own test of being told you’re wrong. Needs some work. 🍻
@@vwr32jeep I admitted that I may well be wrong though, and I accepted that. I figured you may be testing me and I was going to ignore it but, when you said people get mad about others critiquing their comment when they didn't ask for it made me think about how they shouldn't post a public comment if they don't want anyone critiquing it. But you are right and I am wrong. I accept that I am wrong and of course I still need to work on my own advice, so do many people
At least I can admit that I am wrong. I'm Not fighting with you nor am I denying that I am wrong. I even said you are right. I'm not even mad that you proved just how wrong I am and how I don't follow my own advice. Anyway I was just posting an opinion my opinion is. I accept that.
How to always win an argument? Know which arguments are worth having
i think we sometimes need to lose an argument. (not just namecalling but an actual debate) so that we can learn from others.
How to win an argument, simply let the bozo argue with themself. 😂💯🙌🏽🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes I agree with you a 100 %
well the onli way to increase the chances of winning future argumenta is to think logicali, get your emotiona out of it, and try to get as much info with good proof as you can
But your either not teaching others or learning
This is so true! It’s the reason that when people don’t agree with others they’ll say the other person is “brainwashed” by their parents or the info they’ve been provided with by WHAT or WHOEVER SOURCE. Whenever I hear someone say that I’m like, “um... yeah, ok fair but what about you?”
A long time ago i realized nearly ALL what i was told was WRONG. So when i was told something new i first considered the opposite. I found it was usually correct.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently…
I’ve noticed how I can be so sure that im right in something but be completely wrong.
I have pretty much created a habit of skepticism on every problem I come across in life as I’m sure that I will be missing/overlooking some factors to produce a solid solution
So I essentially just think about anything 2-3 times more before feeling valid enough to move on
It's a rare skill. Most people in these United States do not think as much as you do. Identity politics = tribalism
I developed this habit too but sometimes it wastes time while decision making in a competitive environment
@@ForteExpresso you are correct, I’ve also noticed this drawback, in terms of quick decision making this actually makes you worse
In terms of long term, deliberate thought, this habit comes in clutch
Yeah I've started questioning everything and it's exhausting. For some reason it always ends up becoming an existential thought exercise about humanity or my identity...
@@TheStubertos 😂 I understand what you mean
A lot of things we try and understand /boil down to the fundamentals end up showing us just how much we don’t know which then makes you question your reality, and therefore leading you to existential or identity crisis 😂😂
Happens to me all the time
Usually when I start heading in that directions, I redirect my thoughts to try and actually think about my original topic to see if I can make progress or some other connection rather than coming to that same old dead end
Hope this helps bro
The interesting thing about truth is that you are more likely to be right by admitting you are more likely wrong than by declaring that you are more likely right.
The psychological trick, then, is to understand that you are a fallible creature with a fallible brain perceiving an infinite reality using finite faculties. By practicing detachment from being either right or wrong, you will sharpen your curiosity. When you let curiosity flow despite what you think you know, you allow truth to emerge despite cultural conditioning.
When it comes down to it, nobody is off the hook for being wrong. The best you can do is get better at recognizing the hook for what it is so that you are less likely to get dragged away by it. You do this by developing and practicing disciplined strategies for cutting the line and negotiating the hook before the Fisherman of Closemindedness can reel you into his Boat of Dogmatism.
Most pro-lockdown people had absolutely no openness to being wrong. Most anti-racists have no openness to being wrong. Most people who support censoring hate speech have no openness to being wrong. I know of a right wing RUclips channel - really smart like Pursuit of Wonder - got shut down by RUclips just as they started to go viral, while left wing thinking people can even say 9/11 was something "America had coming" and still be allowed to continue without censorship.
Drivel !! You do it by developing
Critical Thinking !! It's not that
difficult . Then you won't be
impressed by pseudo intellectual
BS as pedalled on here !!
@@2msvalkyrie529 can you define "critical thinking"? There are several different commonly accepted definitions of which most reference something like "rational, skeptical, and unbiased analysis or evaluation of factual evidence". There are a bunch of issues with this that stem from the incorrect assumption that people are capable of being unbiased and are rational. We can do things in formal settings, like double blind research studies, to limit bias but can never fully remove it. The next issue is that rationality isn't a fundamental property of the universe but rather a property of how we make sense of the world. Animals, for example, are arational meaning they are not irrational or rational and if we say an action carried out by an animal was rational or irrational what we are actually saying is that we can create a plausible story using whatever language explaining why an animal might do that or not. I'd highly recommend reading the research study "Mental models and human reasoning"(Johnson-Laird, 2010)
Then if you’re wrong, your comment doesn’t apply ?
I've been very aware of this for a little bit now and is the primary "reason" I dont like to interact with people that much anymore. I try to show that all my opinions are just that, just like anyone else but get the arrogant response in a lot of cases. especially in today's society where any individual think their thinking is typical, and we assume that "experts" are idols who cannot be wrong, when indeed they have been wrong many many many times before. by accident, or on purpose.
And in a corrupt society experts tend to be wrong more often for a variety of reasons.
A big problem is our addiction to comfort. The main issue is not though that it's uncomfortable to question yourself but that many people feel uncomfortable feeling uncomfortable. The more comfortable you feel while being in discomfort the easier it is to do uncomfortable things and come out better on the other end.
When “you know that you know” you are blind with ignorance.
When “you know that you don’t know”you are wise.
"(...) we often wield reason not as a method of moving toward truth and out of the default beliefs disposed onto us, but rather a method of defending and proving these beliefs. We attempt to prove that what we have come to find ourselves believing was arrived at fairly, intellectually and rationally."
The accurate quote to remind myself of my confirmation bias , thanks!
Tail wags the dog
“An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.” -Albert Camus
I think we are all very unaware of our behavior. We think we should have whatever we want, because we think we know what is best for ourselves. I'd bet most don't have clue, we are all very unaware of our behavior. I found out I had cancer years back and I had a realization of all the daily habits and tasks I would do: video games, watching movies or shows on netflix, youtube, social media, etc. almost out of necessity because it's the norm, its convenient and easy. You really have to unbiasedly watch yourself to see how your own thoughts, words, and actions disserve you.
Working out, Video games and TV are my hobbies, I feel attacked lol. Life is already bad so why shouldn’t I find some enjoyment in my spare time?
wise words
@@thelastpillar4973 Yes everyone in this world is ignorant in some way if not many ways just like me. If you assume your not, that most certainly means you are.
@@dksndnndsjsndndn7875 that’s just wasting your time
@@gyromaster4174 Says who? What about fishing as a hobby is that a waste of time? I could easily buy fish from the market and save time. Or is bicycling a waste of time? I can instead use a car to get to my destinations faster. What isn’t a waste of time? Working? Fewer and fewer people can make living wages working full time. So is working also a waste of time? What about meditation, is that a waste of time?
If I’m going to eventually die and everything and everyone I know will turn to dust is living itself a waste of time?
This video is great. Reminds me of when I discovered street epistemology. I didn't realize it would lead to me questioning my own beliefs
The title kinda reminds me of that exurbia video
exactly my thought my lol
Yeah
Which one?
How to be correct about everything all the time.
Me too
So true, the only thing you can trust is your direct experience and sometimes you can't even trust that!
For ex: a lot of peaple complain about racism, but on my daily basis, not a single person (except very old crazy dudes) give a dawn about your skin, peaple are more worried about their daily routine than anything else. Just because we experienced something, it doesn’t mean it’s true
@@Insanity-vv9nn There are many documented cases where a persons direct experience can be manipulated. Take magic tricks and optical illusion for example. The point is, you may never know what you think you know and what you think is happening may not be happening at all.
I'm 16 and watching these videos opens up my mind to different perspectives. I agree with you, I might probably be wrong in a lot of things, We are wrong, If we're just humble enough to correction and detach from our pride and ego, only then we might learn, But I know I know nothing
When looking into the eyes of others, you're actually looking at yourself in an entirely different circumstance. We're all the same person living lives with different circumstances that of which shape you, into who you are, every single day.
Not gonna lie i found this cringe yet relate able
damn im a decade older than you and im now watching this. wonder how much more knowledge and understanding you will have when you are 26
Make sure these videos don’t lead you astray from God and his son Jesus 👌🏾
@@jariusspear but we are god and his son jesus
Our level of understanding is unprecedented and also unreliable for one this that is right about us is that we have always been wrong.
This is why when someone says another is brainwashed bc their ideas are so different from their own, I’m always like “then what does that make you?” It’s always such a weird thing to say about another yet not realize that the same would be true of all
I really appreciated where this got to. Paulo Freire said we can't dialogue with others without a sense that we are still incomplete in some way. If we don't have that, we are merely looking to treat the other as a vessel for what we have.
Remember none of this works if you make a grammar mistake
Man. You are so wise beyond your years. Love the video. Thank you.
Never argue and you never have to worry about being right.
Thats some NPC aproach to life
Never present an argument and your opposition is always the winner.
@@bepis647 not like you have to give a shit about what the opposition thinks

“The hardest thing to convince a person is that they didn’t make up their own minds “ Kudjoe Adkins-Battle.
I’ve always watched videos like this. Before the internet I read books and magazine articles regarding epistemology. How we learn and why we believe what we believe has led to an inward humility regarding my own lack of knowledge and understanding.
The problem seems to be, though, that when I go out into the world everyone else seems to know exactly what’s what. Honestly, I don’t think they do know. People suck. Lol
I love the writing and poetry behind every single one of these videos .
@@FloatingLeaf1111 "notes from the end of everything" it's a good read but rather nihilistic in nature

Share it
Immanuel Kant tried to map limits of our reason and reasoning in 'Critic of Pure Reason'. It's a dense read, one of the hardest in whole philosophy, but maybe secondary literature about it can be useful, if there is someone interesting in that sort of thing. :)
I will check this out, appreciated.
Can you give a synopses
So, so powerful. I am speechless. Thank you
I always said that the future generations will prove us wrong in so many ways
Just wanna say, I love your channel and your insight. Great stuff and keep it up, you're truly doing something great here and I'm very appreciative of it. Thank you😊
You have an immensely beautiful style of writing! I am reviewing the auto-generated transcripts in order to acquire and better comprehend your diligent phrases, the large pool of vocabulary and synonyms, and coherent sentence sturction.
I’m reminded often of a Jim Morrison quote, “I’m aware of a lot of things, but not really sure about anything”.
These videos of yours make me feel safe. I don't know why, but i feel comforted by them. Your channel is like a wise friend to listen to
This is a fantastic perspective. In the past few years I’ve been digging more and more into this philosophy, only to realise that it has led to a lack of confidence in myself and a general sense of anxiety. Finding the right balance is something that I’m still struggling with. Maybe it’s a nice area to explore in a future video :)
That's how I found this video! I've been feeling this sense of great sadness inside. Alot of anxiety, I've been feeling empty. Decided to learn anything that had different perspective and set my soul alight. I'm so excited I found this🙌😅💫
But the way I see it, although they didn't have knowledge of beliefs that they had happened to hold, nonetheless they were justified by the available evidence surrounding them. It's not knowledge, but to acknowledge that they were justified in what they believed is already taking a step forward to appreciate what they accomplished.
The title alone nailed it,I've always said this,for years.
You can only be curious when it is safe living Vegas I realized seeing the other person's point of view can be used against you to bully you. In that type of environment it is more safe to double down on what you have said or done no matter how wrong.
Thank you for this insightful presentation.
Here is an excerpt from Steps to Knowledge by Marshall Vian Summers about beliefs.
"I believe what I want to believe. This statement represents the great folly of humanity and humanity's most dangerous form of self-deception. Beliefs are founded upon what is wished for, not on what is actually happening and not on what is genuine. They may in fact represent the greater ideals of humanity...but on a day-to-day basis, and in most practical questions, people base their beliefs on what they hope for, not on things that actually exist. You must have a very sound understanding that the approach to any resolution...must begin with current reality. What you are and what you have today must be your starting point....Examine what you believe and then examine what you want. You will find that even your fearful or negative beliefs are associated with your ambitions." (Steps to Knowledge, MVS)
Thank you Janice
Bravo Bravo! Great channel, incredible insights and humbling teachings. Always worth my time. Thank you, very much.
Its a good thing we spend the first chunk of our lives, unable to understand the information we are told. Gotta rely on no verbal information first. Let's also mention that our predictions for many future events have been right, despite lacking crucial information about the underlying mathematical structure of quantum interactions.
“Everything you believe is based on what you’ve been told.” well damn
I have to be transparent - I see these videos now, and immediately think about whats happened the past 2 years. I can tell, I've lost my sense of curiosity, and am looking at philosophy videos to strictly help myself make sense of the past couple years. I hope, with some practice, I can shake this new way of thinking, and go back to being interested for the sake of interest. Maybe if I admit it publicly on these videos, I can become better aware.
Agree with you, cuz thats been me looking for advice and searching for philosophy-
and trying to read informational books
(not chapter story books)
And everyone around me has been telling me to be a teen and have fun, but i feel like thats just going to drag me down from turning that vision,
Into a reality.
And im a future Billionaire.
I'm grateful for this video. We should be more open-minded. I think that in this way we could help each other create a better world, instead of letting our mind reside where it is now, because that is the end of evolution.
The idea that history is a progression of ideas that lead from worse to better IS one of these incorrect ideas.
@@wickedlee664 in this world yes, but about evolution not being a good idea, I disagree
Truly a remarkable conclusion to what we think and feel, we should always find a way to be more reasonable and should really focus on our curiosity rather to prove oneself, while also holding ourselves accountable to what we know and think with a handful of wrongs.
I think the philosophy behind how we know and truly know our reason should be a lesson taught to us!
There's too much to know, and too much to keep track of, to ever be totally certain of anything.
One can be certain of three things, bodily wear and tear as one ages, death, and taxes. 🌝
@@krokodyl1927 Actually those are also debatable.
the first step on the path towards wisdom is to accept that we know, and can never know, anything. the best one can hope to achieve is an incomplete understanding of the nature of reality, and be willing to accept a new understanding when presented with more accurate information. even if you are 99% sure, that last 1% can change everything.
I love how he explains everything. I love this channel it, it expands my mind.
Beautiful. Top tier content as always.
Reality is indeed complex, and hard to be truly understood. How can we trust our logic? How can we trust the validity of our scientific methods? It's trippy.
Amazing work on this. Very poignant and timely. Thank you.
Love it. Greetings from Moscow/Armenia/Israel
Pursuit of wonder is such a nostalgic thing for me I feel like (not in a rude way at all) I have grown past a lot of these philosophical concepts like it’s nothing new to me anymore and that makes me sad cause I’m so attached but these videos helped open my mind up to expanding my thinking and I’ll always pay homage to it for that
being open minded is ones biggest strength.

I was homeschooled from second grade. I was taught by a PHD mother & a very smart father. I was taught what I find in this channel’s information. I have always been against the tide all my life. I am happy 😃
Sometimes I'm reminded after I get a grade on an exam that no one really knows the answers to the questions posed and that the grade is just an understanding of our current flawed understanding

There are two major MISTAKES in this video and I just wonder how these errors came to be in this clip which is supposed to be about reasoning. The MISTAKES start at 2: 44 minute. It WAS NOT Galileo that showed that the Earth revolved around the Sun. It was the Polish astronomer NIKOLAUS COPERNICUS. Copernicus wrote his work called '' On the Revolutions of Heaveny Spheres'' where he proposed the heliocentric system. And Copernicus did not claim that the Sun was the center of the Universe. And yet a few seconds later the narraror says that Galileo published his work stating that the Sun was in the center of the Universe which is preposterous. Our Sun is not in the Center of the Universe. We don't know where the center of the Universe is. These MISTAKES just glare at eyes and should be corrected in this video. Shame on the shortcomings of this video.
Every video gets deeper and deeper, you have a beautiful mind, my friend
I have this thought often and it’s helped me to let go of limiting beliefs. Maybe I need to let go of this thought as well, but if we’re to assume we are usually wrong about things, aren’t we somewhat wrong about that assumption as well? Idk it’s a mind trip but I love it
I believe in my own reality, perceptions, and ideals anything outside of that is uncertain and unknown im willing to learn but I cannot claim what I don’t know to be true
I really needed to hear this. Thank you.
Wait; was that just an ad for Blinkist? Best ad ever. 😂
"How to always win an argument?"
Scream your points at the opponent. The louder the better.
I'm not sure if it is true, but i have heard that shouting indicates that one is aware of being wrong. (Unless you have another reason for being mad). So if I, for example , lie to you while pretending I am not though we both know that i am i might upset you which i could use to "prove" or rather manipulate that i am right because you know, "shouting people are always wrong". The difficulty is, if there is a third party watching our argument knowing nothing about our minds and the situation. They will support my opinion, even if I'm wrong. That would make me quite an asshole. But with all that agreement I tried to get I would care or would be quite proud of myself which wouldake me a greater asshole. Question: Would you interpret this as narcistic behaviour? I would.
No what's the correct answer does anyone know it?
Ah, that's what the title of the video was before it was How Logic Divides Us. I thought I'd imagined or missed something!
I've learned that no matter how right or wrong your idea is, there always will be someone with a PHD who proves your idea somehow
Even the best and brightest of us, like scientists, aren't free from the biases and limitations of our thinking
Wow. The video editing writing, everything got me thinking deeply.

I don't think people even care about winning. They argue bc it gets em off.
Asian moms be like
i came here to say that i do not believe in everything ive been told, because i went to go find out the answer myself, in order to form my own opinion. Ive explored different aspects of the human perception. So most of what i believe , is based on what ive experienced through my senses of reality

Not having all the facts,and growing up with certain traditions will effect the thinking in certain people. Knowledge is power, and the choice to except them is another. Very deep subject,and open to many options.
I swear I've been beating this drum since I quit the philosophy department. THANK YOU.
I will throw in one thing you do know... Just close your eyes, and realize that you do exist. That's all you need to, or are capable of, knowing. But the more you chew on it, you realize it's everything...
Not just what we've been told, but what we consciously, subconsciously and unconsciously observe.
And how we act and react to all those things.

If most beliefs are wrong, then your belief about most beliefs being wrong is probably wrong
Probably
I LIKE PEOPLE WHO CHANGE MY WORLDVIEW IN A PRODUCTIVE INFORMATIVE MANNER FOR I ALONE KNOW LITTLE BUT WITH YOU AND ALL ELSE TOGETHER WE KNOW ALOT AND CONTINUE ON THE PURSUIT OF WONDER AND TRUTH ,WELL DONE.
I love your narrating style
How do you live knowing there’s not much you can actually know for certain? When i watch these videos i just kinda get depressed because although this is fascinating, it makes me feel like life is a futile reach for something unintelligible
I get that feeling. I think its partly cultural attitudes which have wrongly convinced us into thinking that life is something that humanity has figured out mostly and that theres nothing much left to learn, when in fact its the opposite. We're probably in the very early stages of understanding the world and have apparently let our beginner's success go to our head.
The quality of content on this channel is astonishing.
What we believe…is primarily the result of who we spend our time with. Specifically, those 5 persons with whom you spend the most time with, each typical day.
I need to stop watching your videos in bed at night, your voice is so calming I keep passing out
Words mean nothing until they're proven and shown.
Its not always trying to win the argument, its more of trying to understand both sides for me
Both? There are countless directions, dichotomies are rare and most of them are false.
I feel like this should be mandated learning at a young age. This understanding wipes expectations off our slate and allows for unlimited acceptance… even if it is of our own ignorance
Then how will capitalists divide and rule people.
@@RamanBhagat-up9vj right?!?
My top 5 on youtube. Stellar video and videos. Amazing.
Reminds me of the time of a great pandemic where people of power told citizens that a shot in the arm would stave off a contagious virus, but even after several shots they still caught said virus but the government still insisted upon putting trust in pharmaceutical companies even after unveiling such a deceitful and harmful lie
When it comes to change our mind and give it a thought. This channel never disappoints us
Say for yourself, foolish human.
This time it did:
There are two major MISTAKES in this video and I just wonder how these errors came to be in this clip which is supposed to be about reasoning. The MISTAKES start at 2: 44 minute. It WAS NOT Galileo that showed that the Earth revolved around the Sun. It was the Polish astronomer NIKOLAUS COPERNICUS. Copernicus wrote his work called '' On the Revolutions of Heaveny Spheres'' where he proposed the heliocentric system. And Copernicus did not claim that the Sun was the center of the Universe. And yet a few seconds later the narraror says that Galileo published his work stating that the Sun was in the center of the Universe which is preposterous. Our Sun is not in the Center of the Universe. We don't know where the center of the Universe is. These MISTAKES just glare at eyes and should be corrected in this video. Shame on the shortcomings of this video.
@@ericephemetherson3964 copernicus proposed it but Galileo proved it, using the recently invented telescope. Also, the narrator states “…Galileo published work that showed that, instead, [1] the sun was the center of the universe and [2] the earth revolves around the sun, which we of course now know **THE LATTER** to be true…” He is only talking about second part and not the first part, he isn’t saying that the sun is the center of the universe man. Be careful throwing around shame and keep in mind that you could be wrong!!
@@handitover. Keep in mind that you could be right for which you will get a Nobel prize.
On the bright side, everything I've been told conflicts with everything else I've been told. What this tells me is never take advice from anyone, and basically I should do the opposite.
i wish these vids had Spanish subtitles !! love this channel and I’d love to show it to my friends. sadly they don’t understand English :(
It's easy. You only have to believe that you're right in your own mind and you've won.
No because that's what idiots do. Then everyone would win the argument.
@@AlyxAesthetics Everybody is already doing that tbh.
@@AlyxAesthetics So what's the problem? If everybody can walk away believing they're the winner, then so be it. Who cares?
