# Things I will not debate anymore

This is a list of things that I am not willing to 'debate' anymore. I will happily explain them if something is unclear, but if you're planning to try and convince me otherwise, don't bother. All of these are topics that I've had many - often many hundreds - of discussions about, and no new arguments show up anymore; but endless repeats of the same fallacies and non-arguments sure do, and I am not willing to put any more time and energy into them.

This list may (and probably will) grow over time, as new grifts show up.

Also [this article](https://xeiaso.net/blog/2025/rolling-ladder-behind-us), which sets out in more detail how it affects how people work.
