Thanks for explaining all that.

I don’t like being fed conclusions even if in the end I will agree with those conclusions. I need to know all the relevant thinking for the topics with elevated importance to me.

Maybe I can afford a mental shortcut on a topic of little consecuence, or if I have an overwhelmingly good personal relationship and have outsourced 60% of important thinking to this hugely trustworthy person (then I will be in deep shit should something happen to my relationship with that person, not good).

I won’t say I do all my own thinking for myself, but I try. So thank you again for explaining.

It’s infuriating, but if it’s your brother, unless he’s jeopardising an important priority in your life in a way that affects your life opportunities and/or wellbeing/health, ya should probably tolerate it somewhat. Like explain why what he did is a bad thing and let it be. Family discount. At least it’s not your parent that’s acting up.

Anyway, I am just talking out of my ass here, free advice, and all that. I don’t blame you at all, I’d be pissed too.
