Based on an excellent essay written by Paul Graham called How To Disagree.

Though it seems that most arguments tend to move in the opposite direction.

    az - that’s so true and one of the reasons I try to avoid conflict on the net at all costs. Many internet forum arguments I’ve witnessed start at the bottom and never go beyond level four. I specifically remember one where someone pointed out an obvious mistake in math calculation a poster had made.
    His response? Well, if it is such a boost to your self-esteem to point that out to me in such a manner, go right ahead.

    I was always skeptical of Maslow, since he excluded fish sticks from the pyramid. How do you not have fishsticks?

    Where does chocolate fit into this pyramid? Can it be a pyramid without chocolate?

    I’m so colour focused I’m having difficulty getting beyond the pink and purple levels. Which probably explains a lot. :)

    I find it effective to go right to 7 and dispense with the first 6, it is a more inear approach!
