Hummus

Important news of the day: hummus is delicious.

All people who do not believe that hummus is delicious will not voice their opinions in this matter. Your opinion is worthless and incorrect. Nothing anyone says will convince me that my opinion is false.

So why do we still have these discussions? I feel like I have an argument everyday with someone that goes like this:
"Hummus is really delicious."
"No it's not."
"I really like it."
"That's because you have an undiscriminating palate."
"Shut the hell up. Hummus is great."
"I hate it, it sucks."

Okay. We're never going to agree, so can we just not talk about it? Instead of just agreeing to disagree, we believe that our entirely subjective opinions and backups for our opinions should be convincing enough to make others see the light. It's not happening, give it up. We simply get caught in these endless conversations in which people argue that hummus is delicious because it has chick peas, and the other person says that it's terrible because chick peas are disgusting. No matter how many ways we argue it our what level of detail we go to, there is a fundamental difference in perception that we're not going to surmount.

The best discussion is one so convoluted that at the end you realize you're arguing the same thing in different words. It's even more frustrating than the endless subjective arguments. With the subjective arguments, at least you've been righteously indignant that somebody else does not realize how right you are. With the we're-saying-the-same-thing argument, you've accomplished nothing and taken away from my time spent playing Zuma.

Let us speak of this no more.
