Have never understood the impulse to dunk on someone trying something new when it does not impact you in any way.

Iβve come to the belief that all negativity comes from insecurity. Almost all the βbullyingβ type behavior I witnessed as a parent seemed so obviously that it came from the bullyβs own insecurity. Then I started to ask myself why would it be different as adults? Once I started seeing it this way, it just becomes hard to find any logical reason to dunk on anyone, about anything. And now when I see someone dunk on someone else, I just feel sorry for them and want to give them a hug and tell they are enough lol

Agree with this, but also feel it's important to draw a distinction between "critical thought/investigation" and negativity. Beating up on something (the idea) vs. "character assignation" are very different things. If anything, I think we should be teaching our kids how to "argue" more effectively. Strong opinions, lightly held, argue for the idea, then actually have the muscle to change those opinions as you learn something new within the "critical <arena>." I guess what I'm talking about here is just something completely different to "dunking" (just can look like dunking, through the wrong lens). https://warpcast.com/pjc/0x2b83ca24

π― Totally agree. Critical thinking and engaging in healthy, constructive conflict are very necessary things. And not to be confused with dunking.
