Does that mean stop thinking while speaking though?
Most people think most of the time.
Nope.
Oh well then we must accept the potential consequences of people having new thoughts as they speak, namely the sudden understanding of the stupidity of what they’re saying. It happens.
I mean... that's obviously better than letting stupidity persist, but still clearly interior to not saying stupid things in the first place.
To be clear, my belief is that we should all try to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. People that troll or don't engage their brain before commenting are actively adding noise to our world and diluting meaningful communications. I'm not going to applaud someone for stopping any more than I applaud someone for not stealing -- that's basic decency and expected.
I disagree, but I sympathize with your position. I’ve come to love the beauty of the back and forth of good small talk. Have a nice day.
Ok thanks. Reading back my previous comment, it's fairly harsh and reminds me of a relative I'm not particularly fond of. So, please don't think I'm so stern. Nobody's perfect; people can correct themselves and that's a good thing. And yeah I'm aware of the potential irony in this comment. Have a nice day too.
