lol at people who say 'no one can be rational. everything is about dominance'

'no one can be rational. everything is about dominance'

'you can never really argue rationally with someone, you are only trying to dominate them by proving yourself correct'

sure, no one can be 100% rational megamind robot machine - but in the context of human interactions, how can you claim no one discusses a topic to gain a better understanding? or that no one ever argues, not to win the argument, but to test their own ideas? and that submitting during an argument can occur completely shamelessly if you accept your opponent had superior rational ability/ was privy to more extensive knowledge than you had?

my only conclusion can be that anyone saying this (and actually believing it) has an extremely weak rational ability 

if you say this, all youre really telling everyone is that that is how you yourself think. 

you probably also then accept arguments that appear the most dominant, just to dominate others. 
you probably see 'knowledge' (true or not) as a means to an end, not an end itself.

argument is about domination 

post argument is about reflection and advancement in understanding

rephrased 

'for me, argument is about domination 

for me, post argument is about reflection and advancement in understanding'

[MysteriousWeeb420]

this is because short term brain is governed by affective system which is emotional and animalistic

while long-term brain is governed by deliberative system which is logical and objective  

(this is a large simplification but gives the general idea)

nope, i was showing that you constantly make statements that apply to yourself and try to apply it universally

then i responded to your post saying that by showing this, i now understand how you communicate and can understand past interactions through this new lens

well if something applies to most people then the chances are it also applies to me - I am self-aware enough to understand this 

no, it was clearly a dig at me for some dopamine. lmao at this pathetic ad hoc attempt at logical justification

it was obviously a 'dig at you'. that should be blatantly obvious and not even necessary to be said. i was explaining the dig, not trying to justify anything. 

and the problem is that you take something that applies to you and then apply it to everyone else, not the other way around. at least thats what appears to happen

let me get this straight: you perfectly follow the typical human behaviour pattern I delineate and then have the audacity to accuse me of projecting it solely from my own behaviour
