[ChefPapiChulo]

one of the biggest issues i see with conservatives is their unwillingness to change.

Adaptation within oneself.

Can someone please tell me what this means.

[kylee2437]

I think extremists on both sides of politics are unwilling to adapt. That’s one of the biggest issues with people that devote themselves to one political side

[ChefPapiChulo]

devoting yourself to one side of politics doesn't make someone an extremist.

[kylee2437]

That very much so depends, I find that most people that do devote to one side will always have a counter argument towards something even if it is presented with logic

[ChefPapiChulo]

i'm sure thats happened. but if someone is a liberal or conservative, that doesn't mean theyre an extremist. both political parties can be adaptive. although, adaptiveness is not generally a descriptor of conservatives. they tend to be more rigid.

[kylee2437]

Very true , the issue though is people turn into extremists due to unwillingness to see issues within their political party. I do agree that conservatives have troubles adapting in terms of going against their own traditions and values but I also feel like democrats have trouble adapting to people that don’t favor their pov and feel like people absolutely have to agree with their pov is almost everything, even if their pov isn’t backed with logic

[ChefPapiChulo]

right, but you're not describing what it means to be adaptive. you're describing polarization.

[ChefPapiChulo]

which is the result of not being able to agree on something. completely different subject matter.

[kylee2437]

I think it’s adaptation within one’s self. I’ve normalized lots of liberals spend so much time forcing the world to try and see through their lenses instead of just understanding not every lens fit the same eye

[kylee2437]

I’ve realized not normalized ***

[ChefPapiChulo]

Sure okay. But what you’re talking about isn’t adaptiveness. I’m also not sure what adaptation within one’s self means.

And what you described is actually a liberal point.

[kylee2437]

It is adaptiveness though lol it’s a fundamental that not even liberals are capable of their own adaptation. This is a super super super deep thinking topic but little to say if you are a person that sits around and cares about what people think about what you want to be in life, you aren’t even ready for that version of yourself

[ChefPapiChulo]

This is deep thinking lol?

[kylee2437]

Absolutely is lol if you are a person that devoted to one side, you aren’t a deep thinker. Surface level attributes won you over

[ChefPapiChulo]

I mean I honestly don’t think this is deep thinking. It’s just a normal discussion.

[kylee2437]

I think if you don’t understand that adaptation has to do with oneself as well, you aren’t a deep thinker lol.

[ChefPapiChulo]

I mean I guess I’m not then? Lol.

[kylee2437]

Well that’s the point lol it’s very very hard to have logical convos when people on one political side can’t see past their surface level attributes

[kylee2437]

Aka adaptation

[ChefPapiChulo]

What does adaptation to oneself mean? ↗

I created a question since you won’t answer me.

[kylee2437]

I answered the question lol if you are a person that cares about what other people feel about you and your values, you aren’t even ready for the person you are trying to project to the world around you

[ChefPapiChulo]

Okay, but what does that have to do with anything? Seeing as how this discussion has gone completely off the rails.

[kylee2437]

That’s primarily a liberals main focus is how others perceive them and their views. Conservatives tend to give a fuck less lol

[ChefPapiChulo]

Bro wtf are you talking about?

[kylee2437]

Exactly my point lol very hard to converse with someone that only cares about one side. You don’t get it

[ChefPapiChulo]

There’s no conversing. You misunderstood what being adaptive means and then you went into a rant about god knows what.

[kylee2437]

I know what adapting means lol I am addressing that both sides have troubles adapting which isn’t false. Conservatives just have trouble adapting in more obvious ways because it typically goes against their values

[ChefPapiChulo]

Right, you’re aware that conservatives are usually rigid. Adaptiveness is a liberal descriptor.

[kylee2437]

Liberals are also the same way lol but if you are a liberal you probably will never see it. That’s why I said if you are a person that leans to only one side, it’s generally very hard to get anywhere in a conversation when it comes to logic

[ChefPapiChulo]

They can be yes.

[Lady_Heart]

Be specific, adaptive in what? Because i don't thk anyone can adapt to everything otherwise you won't have your personality

[ChefPapiChulo]

it's in the general sense.

[Lady_Heart]

Adaptability isn't a bad thing, but conservatives have things they won't adapt to eg certain values even if they r in a place where those values ain't valued or not important. But they can be adaptive to other things. Its hard to answer this in general because it depends on what we r talking about

[Lady_Heart]

If u meant conservatives like in politics then i don't know much about it

[ChefPapiChulo]

just in general if its a good or bad thing.

[Anonymous]

Its a very good thing in my opinion. If we don't adapt, we will get left behind.
