Do you want to win the argument, or make a difference

So much of our current social and political discourse is based on proving the other wrong i.e. winning the argument. We don't demonstrate enough empathy to understand where the "other" is coming from and the merits of their point. A black and white world is a construct of our own imagination and our desire to imprint our views on to others. It ignores the beauty that the synthesis or fusion of diverse ideas enables.

John had made a life out of proving people wrong. He took pride in being able to argue against any position and win. He was a talk show host. One night when he was grilling a guest who was making a point around having improved gun controls in place. John, barely let she finish her sentences, was adversarial and was not listening. At the end of the segment the guest said; "John, do you want to win the argument, or make a difference".

The Bees Win

A term used to describe a draw (tie) in a game where a draw should technically not be possible. It is almost always caused by the players giving up because the outcome of the game keeps swinging back and forth like a pendulum, but in rare cases it can be caused by a rare glitch, or a crazy coincidence.

It was coined by a Trouble In Terrorist Town (TTT) Let's Player, who experienced an odd glitch where both the Traitor and the last innocent accidentally killed themselves at exactly the same time, causing the game to get confused and not start the next round. Since one of the traitors had previously summoned a bunch of bees with a bee gun, they eventually declared that the bees had won the round, since they were the only living things in the server that were still alive.

"OK, guys. You two have been playing Monopoly for hours now. Everyone else was eliminated a long time ago, and this is going nowhere. Just give up. The game's never going to end."

"You're right. The Bees Win!"
