User blog comment:Zippertrain85/Lore Arguments: My theory on them/@comment-11345660-20150622214928

If you want to know my opinion on the subject, it's because arguing is engrained in our society. It's a safe bet that most users here are from the Western side of the world, where Platonic debate reigns supreme. Western society is built on the notion that one-upping someone else in a debate means that winner is the smarter person, whereas C0DA, interestingly enough, is embedded in more of an Eastern philosophy, not discarding ideas, but rather taking them all and mashing them together so that no belief is left behind. If you want to know the culprit, it is thousands of years of Greek Philosphy.
