him: hey what's up with tiktoks and other short videos that are structured like dialogs even though only one person is talking

me: oh those are socratic dialogs. they're named after this old dude socrates. they weren't written by him though, they were written by his student aristotle who used socrates as a mouthpiece for his ideas

him: weird

me: the idea is that you basically have someone really smart and well-informed who's talking to basically a straw man that they can bounce ideas off to help you make your point

him: mmm okay i think im following

me: but the weird thing is that changing people's minds usually doesn't work that easily in real life. people who disagree and want to argue with you will have their own opinions, usually strongly held, that are often based on whatever they heard first, no matter how trustworthy that information is. and people are very resistant to changing their opinions. it's not just a matter of facts and logic but rather engaging with the other person's concerns and trying to get your point across in a way they understand. a socratic dialog basically dumbs down this process to the point it's no longer useful as a guide for talking to people about specific issues

him: whoa I've never thought of it that way before

him: you're like. really smart. can i suck your dick?

me: yeah sure
