No one online seems to want to talk at all. People in my age seem to lose the ability to talk.

What happens if we all forget how to have a deep or entertaining conversations?

    It’s not meant to be easy! It’s actually best when it’s challenging and thought provoking

    Any criticism, or insult or demeaning action I get, I try to swallow my pride and check if it’s justified. It sometimes is! If it’s not, I let it slide and try to keep on.

    That said, tone and respect is important but not always reciprocal and at some point it may be best to not pursue a meaningful discussion

    In my experience though, this is rarely the case!

      very little content is challenging or thought provoking. most people desperately avoid anything like that. in a thread of 500 comments, maybe 5 will be interesting or worthwhile. the other 495 will be jokes, dogpiling or people self-aggrandizing themselves about what genius they are because they agree x is bad and y is good.
