I have meet people and some of my friends are like. These people who love to argue, not to learn or figure something out but just to be the winner. Even when they absolutely lost, they still have to drag the other person down ("well this only worked because the other guy suck at their job").
I (23M) am studying engineering, hence i too love arguements, it just give food for your thoughts. However, when encounter these kind of people, whether be it professional or just friends doing friends stuffs, it really bugging me that some of them tend to not using logical thinking process whatsoever, even seem to be oblivious of the proofs staring them in the face and often give out holely statements. I get they want to be right in their opinions but i cant for the like of me understand why can't they see/remember/notice the facts?
Case in point: a long distance friend (we dont talk no more) claim the weather in my city (tropical) will be extremely hot all the time. However when i, who have lived here for 3 years, say it does get extremely cold when it midnight especially at during spring break, he just said it not possible and im wrong. This goes back and fort with me explaining my points and experience, he chalked it up to me not used to the climate and plenty of other reasons that i pretty sure was thought out on the spot. This ultimately end up with him saying the equivalent of "I have A++ in Geography at Highschool, do you think i will forget about climate?" At which i just at lost for word
The same friend is the one later tend to keep attacking me personally when i not even talking to him in the group chat
