Ask HN: How to Concede a Point?
Would online discourse be improved if we had better ways to express our erroroneous thinking within a thread? What are some good examples/techniques for doing this that others could adopt?
For some reason we have almost completely lost the ability to disagree with each other civilly. I'm not going to bother opening the can of worms as to why I think we have but I think something that can help is a reminder that: if someone's opinion is at odds with yours it does not invalidate yours or you in anyway, and we should never treat it as an attack on us even when we think it is meant as one. There's no winner in that game.
