My closest friend and I have been having the same argument about personal responsibility versus systemic forces for three years now and we're both dug into our positions instead of actually listening to each other. We care more about being right than understanding what the other person is trying to tell us about how the world works.
More people experience this than they realize.
The investment in being right has overtaken the curiosity about what truth the other person might be protecting.
