I was thinking yesterday about how even if you don't agree with someones way of thinking, it can still be useful to understand it. People might use different words, and structure their explanations in different ways, but they responding to and trying to rationalize their experience of the same underlying wetware. looking at the way other people try to explain human nature can help reveal things about the experience of being human.

Perhaps. I can't imagine sniping at my significant other like that. We state plainly what we mean as best we can and always try to argue in good faith. This caricature of a communication breakdown is more grotesque than relatable.
