"The people I'm arguing with are usually men, when they have lost they rarely, if ever concede. From the book "You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in conversation" Deborah Tannen explains the loss of status that men often feel when it comes to admitting they are wrong, (this explains why they hate to admit they are lost). Even admitting to someone they will never see again, like a gas station attendant, is seen as a status lowering event." ~Google 'false comparisons'/click Spocko's Brain. Thanks.

What if we learned to accept reality for what it is (whether coarse sandpaper and pure

strychnine or even warm moments of soft embrace) rather than try manipulating it?

What if we "took" everything that was said or written as "the gospel". Would we not all be...what...robots? Is it not our nature to question rather than to submit?
