    Yes... I'm a bit disappointed regarding this. The point of this tribe isn't to defend your belief system, it's to make arguments for and against things that you normally might not defend. I think it's a good exercise for the human brain to try to see what is in favor of the opposition too, rather than just feeding a possible confirmation bias.

    Hell, I don't agree with most of the shit I've written here, but it did help me see what would normally go on through the mind of a person defending these things.

    How do you feel about it?

    About what exactly?

    Being on that side of the argument.

    It's a challenge, mostly when I have to find valid reasons for arguments that I know are incorrect.

    It's why at one point I feel like in an actual argument, I'd have to be forced to take the political approach and sidetrack to a different topic that is deriving from the main subject, where I could actually find something I believe in to argue for.

      It's understandable. Playing the devils advocate can be difficult, especially when it comes to something you have an opposite opinion of.
