Ooh, maybe that's it. I think it is something to do with not being able to get hold of their thinking because they're not presenting it in a coherent way. They are denying me the opportunity to see the problem & why it's a problem or if, in fact, I have the problemhttps://twitter.com/allycinnamon76/status/948702331528470528 …

Some might think they do, and think you’re being dumb. But some might feel no need to, no. There are many people out there, who are not like you, Helen.

I know this is the reality. What I don't know is why it is this specifically that makes me so angry but I think it is something to do with being denied the opportunity to bring order to it even if it's only in my own head.

The not understanding part? Not sure. Do you have this with other things you don’t understand? Or just people?

The not making sense. I'm fine with not understanding things. Then I have a reason it doesn't make sense. Christian tried to explain some physics thing to me the other day. I didn't get it but I know it made sense. The problem was my lack of knowledge. That's fine.

I don't get angry with you writing in Dutch even tho I don't understand it but if you said to me 'feminism is great because the ground of all being seeks resolution in the slippage between what is and what will be' my temper would rise immediately.

I’ve come to realise you’re a mathematical thinker with a psychology interest. This is your problem.

Some scientists have told me this. That I think about social issues in a scientifically analytical way.

Possibly not. Their goal might be to "win" the point/argument (in their mind), to catch you in what they (possibly erroneously) think is a logical trap. Some people argue not to understand, but to bolster their self-worth by asserting dominance.

Such people may not care if their overall argument is incoherent - they only care about winning individual points in a game, like a general fighting each battle as though it were self-contained rather than part of a war.

They aren't exactly trolls (whose goal is to provoke a reaction and rile people up), but they aren't seeking to understand or to make sense. It's a game or contest of skill.
