      You don’t convince people of anything with one internet argument. Still, I think it’s worth it to try and state and defend your beliefs publicly. It may or may not sway anyone but it does at least force you to examine and understand your beliefs so that you can competently defend them.

      Unquestionably false. Everyone has different experiences on different timelines relative to each other. Maybe you would have been hopeless if you weren’t here by now, but other people didn’t come to lemmy at the same time, have the same interactions, have the same broader background, etc.
