😃 I too love it when people remain unfazed to ideological or ego emotion. The ego instigates debates with the only goal to win, otherwise it wouldn't partake in it in the first place. Yet when it notices that the lesser ego remains cool than the ego detests that and becomes aggressive, for it is desperate.
As you call it 'reptilian skin", it is such a helpful skill to have. And keeping cool means that we resort to our very own energy, we respond. When we are too susceptible to other's energy than we re-act, for we take over the other's energy and shoot back. We prioritize their energy over ours.
I LOVE such coolness! Thank you for sharing!
That's a fantastic way of putting it @alexaventuria. We've gone from actual and intellectual discourse to pure ego and winning one for the ideological team. In this day and age, there are no martyrs, only people who wish to stand on others' shoulders with a gold-star trophy.
You nail it! The ego butters up on the bigger ego and slaughters the lesser. :)
I go with your source of view cos he is really a great writer
