ask any of my mutuals, they’ll tell you that my first instinct in a convo is to unload everything i know/think about topic as tho i were uploading bytes to a database this is ofc v autistic

it’s v clear to me why this is absurdly unproductive - to symphilosophozein is not to create a mirror reflection of what each knows in the other, but to say what leads to truth

truth is a byproduct of other things - sometimes it can *only* be a byproduct, and the direct approach is not just inefficient but impossible, incoherent

in this case to hold back is not to hide or deceive, but to curate maybe carving away marble is a better analogy (or stripping away flesh in a dissection...)
