In Response To: Re: Collaborative Conversation (D-M.A.)

: I always listen to what others have to say and simple filter out the things
: that sound retarded. Afterall you can't please everyone, and noone thinks
: alike.
And that's the point of what I was getting at. If someone's offering you advice and you clearly understand more than they do (which you can test by asking yourself, "If I just ignore certain things that I know, can I limit my view down to theirs?"), then yes, ignore them, their opinion is clearly of no use to you. But if someone offers you advice and you think "wtf how could anybody ever think that", and you can't understand where they're coming from, then you've got a learning experience available here.
To use Don's example, if you're building a house on the beach and someone says "that's stupid, houses on the beach will get washed away" but you can reply "yes but I've done such-and-such with a reinforced concrete foundation and stilts and a seawall and so on", then they've got a useless opinion to you; you've already considered and accounted for their view. But if they say the same thing and your best reply is "what does building houses on the beach have to do with them washing away? why would you think something silly like that?", then you've probably got something to learn from them, about the nature of sand, moving water, and their relation to building foundations.
In general, it seems any different opinion offered could eventually be resolved, with reasonable people at least, by a sufficient series of "yes, but..." and "why...?" responses, educating one another as appropriate until you come to an agreement.

But if someone offers you advice and you : think "wtf how could anybody ever think that", and you can't : understand where they're coming from, then you've got a learning : experience available here. : To use Don's example, if you're building a house on the beach and someone : says "that's stupid, houses on the beach will get washed away" : but you can reply "yes but I've done such-and-such with a reinforced : concrete foundation and stilts and a seawall and so on", then they've : got a useless opinion to you; you've already considered and accounted for : their view. But if they say the same thing and your best reply is : "what does building houses on the beach have to do with them washing : away? why would you think something silly like that?", then you've : probably got something to learn from them, about the nature of sand, : moving water, and their relation to building foundations. : In general, it seems any different opinion offered could eventually be : resolved, with reasonable people at least, by a sufficient series of : "yes, but..." and "why...?" responses, educating one : another as appropriate until you come to an agreement.
