A long-term (10 year) contributor to the "Intellectual Exchanges" or "Thinker's Lounge" subforum of the website Neoseeker, I've become increasingly disappointed with the lack of substance and community engagement by its users.
I often use forums like these to help process and articulate thoughts, and to present them anonymously and openly whereby criticism can ascertain their strength, point-out and grow from their error, or give others an opportunity to change my perspectives entirely.
I do not fear or feel shame in being wrong, and every single belief or value I hold is capable of being changed. I am a very different person from what I was 10 years ago, and I owe that privilege to those who have proven me wrong. Being right holds no true value, but being wrong allows us to grow. To be better than what we were yesterday. I live for this.
I fully expect everyone I engage with to value the capital T truth over their own personal preconceptions. And I look forward to being an active member of this community.
