Some feedback: there was some mix ups with whom sentences would be referring to. I think the student was worried about himself napping through class, and sensei is suddenly a "she" while the student is wondering what his lunch is?

Is it Saga or Sanuki?

There are those people who argue in order to debate, inform, and seek the truth, and those are the ones you should spend time arguing with.

But there are many people who use debate not as a tool to exchange information, but to flood the world with their misinformation. They will change positions, use falacies, and speak without ettiquitte as long as someone is listening.

That person's goal is not to argue for a purpose, their purpose is to have an arguement. It does not matter if they win or lose, they just want to have muddied the waters and leave spectators remembering that "there is legitimacy in arguing over this topic". (See flat earthers, neo-nazis, ancient aliens, etc).

In short, arguing with them only benefits them and harms you and any spectators. Dismiss them for the jerks they are and focus your efforts on those who are genuine in their approach.

Well, it's not like you can distinguish one group from the other easily, more often that not people are arguing not to exchange information but because they think they are right and they are on their holy mission to convert everyone.

Nowadays it feels like 90% of discussions are just meaningless, noone will change the opinion, because they do not care about the other person, just forcing their beliefs into someone.
