    Yea, most people (here and on Reddit) argue in bad faith without knowing that they’re arguing in bad faith.

    Let’s say u see some statement that u agree/disagree with. The goal should be to reach the truth. Whether you are right or wrong doesn’t really matter. What matters is if u’ve reached the truth. A bad faith argument is when u argue to prove that you r right for reasons other than getting to the truth.

    I’ve seen many ppl just write their hypotheses without any further explanations. It’s rlly rlly annoying when these guys r just like, “yeah, but it IS this way” without any evidence, without even any explanations and so on.

    Ideally one should exit bad faith arguments, but still… It’s rlly annoying.
