/ERISTIC/:
The art of arguing to win, rather than to understand.
You know that moment when a conversation stops being about what happened and becomes about who can make the better argument?
When listening becomes preparing your rebuttal.
When admitting you’re wrong feels like losing.
When understanding the other person becomes less important than making sure they understand why you’re right?
Congratulations. The conversation has entered the Olympics. And apparently, you came for gold. 🥇
But here’s the uncomfortable bit.
You can be articulate and still be unreasonable.
You can have the better argument and still miss the point.
You can win the conversation and lose the connection.
And sometimes, the person you’re trying hardest to defeat isn’t even fighting you…They’re trying to reach you.
POA.
