if, after all the work you did for them, just answer with "lmao your, wrong retard" why not just tell them straight up: "no, you are wrong, but for me it's not worth the effort to continue this argument, hopefully someone else will have the patience to set you straight. have a nice day"

to be fair it's pretty similar to arguing in real life

It's completely about perceived social status of those that hold the opinion

more well liked people will have their opinion about a subject held in higher regard than someone who is not well liked, pretty much regardless of whether or not they can back it up or prove it at all

>someone makes a wrong statement
> start writing to correct them and include reliable sources to back myself up
>delete everything before sending

>>37516473
Those are opinions. People are regularly wrong on facts, and refuse to be corrected. They are invested in whatever they are wrong about, and wish to remain wrong, as long as they can claim to be right.

>>37515709
You must be one of those autists who post opinions as facts and their "proof" of a claim is a link to some autistic blog.

When you prove someone wrong on 4chan its not about making sure the poster knows he is wrong, its about the lurkers now knowing he is wrong.

>>37516782
Most of the "proof" is in the form of anecdotes or unsourced blog posts.

>>37516782
The "neutral" readers lurking have already decided, people on 4chan have strong opinions about any given topic and don't care about facts either way.

I would say its on the contrary, maybe I just stick to mostly advice thread but many people end up in a thread without a solid opinion.

>>37516850
Those (in your image) are opinions.
My post (the OP) is about arguing facts.

>>37516975
Give examples of when you have beaten someone with facts and not opinions?

>>37517029
not OP but for example
2+2
that is always going to be 4
no "different perspective" will make it 5

That is why I don't argue with people. To be honest, normalfags are actually smarter than us since they know
arguing leads nowhere and it harms you personally. Better to shut your mouth, let others be wrong and be a good little psychopath.

People who sperg aren't actually smart, they just believe they are while in the eyes of others they are fucking retards (which is true).

Why would I need to argue with you when I agree with you. I really can outargue you on anything I disagree with you. Or is it too hard to comprehend that an argument happens when disagreeing opinions face each other? You brainlet.

Perspective isn't a bitch. Perspectivism is. In the image you posted, there is only one objective truth; the number can be either a six or a nine. Both of the cartoon figures are objectively wrong because they claim the number is ONLY six or ONLY nine.

It's just as frustrating to OP to provide a good argument only to be replied with
>Lmao, that's only true in ur realiity
as it is to be replied with an ad hominem like
>Lmao ur a fucking idiot

>>37517546
Study body language, neurology and psychology and societal norms and use it all in your life.

Once you do this shit people are so predictable and manageable it's hilarious. NPC's.

perspective is a view, the fact that you think you're right, does not mean that I am wrong. OPs philosophical view that all perception always takes place from OPs specific perspective refusing to take in new information when it's presented, namely:
>Lmao ur a fucking idiot

OP, you're facing something many others before you have. Facing 4chan head on is a mistake many people have made, and only a very rare breed of internet badasses come out superior in that exchange.

What's especially worse here is that people here tend to team up on you if they can, so you trying to properly follow the 'rules' of debate while four (4) other posters are shitting on you can get unnerving fast.

Lurking and posting at select times provides a benefit in the sense that if you don't expose yourself, there's not much people here can do to you. Also remember, you're in a place where the typical rules don't apply. You are tying both your hands behind your back, fighting against packs of autists with baseball bats and knives. Metaphorically speaking of course.

So yes, understanding this site's history as well as it's present, picking your battles and always saging gives you the advantage. And remember, he who barks the loudest on 4chan wins, even if they are wrong.

memes are a viral phenomenon that may evolve by natural selection in a manner analogous to that of biological evolution, eventaully people will believe that 2 + 2 is 5, because they will no longer care

If believing that 2 + 2 = 5 somehow connects to you believing that it results in your getting your 10/10 pure virgin waifu, then you bet robots would be saying 2 + 2 = 5 all over the place.

>>37515842
I agree with you. This is the mentality - the EXACT same mentality I had towards some autist I met here. He was so fucking cringe and his arguments were such shit, it made him look so bad and I didn't want to involve myself with that.
