Twitter becomes much more worthwhile if you approach discussions not with the intent to convince others, but to understand them.

If we have been trying to convince others without understanding them, or, worse, simply using others to virtue signal to our own tribe, then simply understanding others will be a marked improvement.

But I don't want others to stop trying to change my mind. As long as they are trying to understand me, are being reasonable, and are willing to have their minds changed as well, I tend to see their reasons and arguments as gifts.

I like that. You can understand without convincing, but you are not likely to convince without first understanding.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
