Arguing for the sake of arguing can be fun…if you like debate.
But don’t be fooled into thinking it’s a productive activity. People don’t change their minds in an argument, in fact they grow even more steadfast in their views.
Persuasion comes through aligning with someone’s interests and offering a new direction consistent with their current model of the world. That type of discourse rarely shows up in an argument.
