Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.
I say unpopular things but never something I know to be untrue. Always open to hear good-faith counter arguments. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

Free_Opinions@feddit.ukto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a human behaviour you've never understood?0·6 months agoLittering is one of those things I struggle the most to understand.
I can somewhat grasp it in extreme cases, like when you’re dealing with something really dirty and there’s nowhere to put it. But I’m talking about casual littering - things like throwing candy wrappers on the ground when you could just as easily put them in your pocket.
I don’t think anyone sees themselves as a bad person. Even when we engage in bad behavior, we usually have some story we tell ourselves to justify it. But I can’t put myself in the mindset of someone who casually throws trash on the ground for someone else to clean up. It’s kind of like walking around and cussing at random people - it just doesn’t make any sense. You have to know that you’re the problem.

Not knowing what “Hawk Tuah” is means I’ve successfully excluded the kinds of things from my media diet that I intended to avoid. I’m not making any universal moral judgments here - these are my values. You’re free to value different things, but don’t waste your time telling me I’m valuing the wrong ones.
Free_Opinions@feddit.ukto News@lemmy.world•Joe Rogan, ‘Hawk Tuah’ and the rise of conservative-leaning online spaces in 20240·6 months agoExactly. There’s a limited amount of things I can pay attention over the week. The fact that I don’t know about some completely trivial cultural thing means I’ve paid attention to something else instead. That something else may very well be equally trivial but it also might not.
