That’s because toddlers don’t understand what an argument is and aren’t interesting in having one. Toddlers (which includes defensive bureaucrats, bullies, flat earthers, folks committed to a specific agenda and radio talk show hosts) may indicate that they’d like to have an argument[1], but they’re actually engaging in connection, noise, play acting or a chance to earn status. It can be fun to be in opposition, to harangue or even to use power to change someone’s position. ★ [2] Links: [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohDB5gbtaEQ (link) [2]: https://daringfireball.net/linked/2025/04/14/godin-arguments-with-toddlers (link)
