Oh well I don't generally find it useful to repeat the same old stuff everyone else does. I try and take the most interesting aspects of different arguments, from different sources and come up with the normative consensus. Most people are reasonable unless they are crazy and the precentage of crazy people is so minute. While I have met people who are deeply idealogical a lot more are just cranky and not approached well by people who also hold idealogies perhaps of a different stripe. If people get excited because they meet people who disagree with them, who am I to find that a sign of increased intelligence? Also the arguments of "OMG I found a stupid person" strike me as contrived because in a normal distribution you should expect at least half the people to be of below average intelligence so its not exactly interesting to note the obvious. (And 1/6th should be of a statistically significant point below average... omg who cares?)
Mostly I've found that if you mix the arguments around lots more people will talk to you, its the trick of being social, and somewhat of a survival skill as I live just outside Washington DC. The political and socio-economic undercurrents can be interesting here despite most people just coming for the jobs. As kids growing up here we just rehabilitated the kids who had strange views, most of them were pretty normal otherwise.
Anything in particular you found interesting? Questions on the blog?
