Short word about arguments

edit

The point of arguments should be to figure out the idea that's the closest to the objective truth, and not to convince anyone of your opinion. Arguments should be respectful and the participants should be ready to agree to disagree if they find that they are now just repeatedly going over the same ground. Also in arguments people should consider the other person's opinions completely separately of who that person is and what qualifications they have. Smart people can have dumb ideas and dumb people can have smart ideas.

If these aspects aren't met then the argument becomes an unproductive waste of everyone's time.

Interests

edit

I am quite interested in history mainly western European history from 300 BC to 800 AD.

I quite like the dynasty-like family that the Trumps have built up and wish to do the same sort of thing for my family. The fact that I admire the Trumps' family history is not a statement of my political opinions towards Donald Trump. The page that I saw of the Trump family history that inspired me to do this is this one here.
