alt Hacker NewsHaha it’s just a foolish move made by those from the ‘90s. We all internalized a different lesson. The younger generations have learned to brush it off and stop responding. Even if the person is human, when you fail to move toward Aumann Agreement, there is no point in persisting.

I'm going to be thinking about this perfect summary of my frustration of the last 20 years all day
Arguing on the internet is not about convincing the other side. It's about winning the majority opinion and getting more votes. Almost like politics.
I googled Aumann Agreement and it’s all about agreeing about whether things are true/false/likely/unlikely.
I don’t understand your point at all in this context. What’s “Aumann Agreement” in the context of a discussion about values?
I justify it to myself by saying that even if I'm arguing with a bot, I want to have a counterargument posted for the benefit of the people who are reading the comments
