Divine said that most people lack the energy to be arguing all the time, which I presume means that most people feel emotionally drained by arguments. In that case, then what sort of conversation do most people find to be energizing? What types of interactions do you seek out and enjoy?
I don’t think I necessarily meant that people are drained from arguing. It’s more like other stuff is more interesting and more engaging and if people have to choose between some enrichment activity and arguing, arguing isn’t going to be a priority. I don’t think it’s necessarily draining, it’s just extremely uninteresting for some. That’s why I wondered if you look for other things that maybe make some difference in the world or otherwise fulfilling and interesting.
