| quote: Originally posted by jon-nyc: I don’t know how well I’ll keep this, but in the interest of improving dialogue and reducing tribalism, I’m going to try to do the following:
- take the more charitable view of the people I disagree with.
- “steelman” the views of others when I take issue with them
- refrain from replicating ‘outrage’ memes. Though this is slippery because sometimes the interesting news stories contain an element of outrageousness.
- avoid ‘whataboutism’ and arguments about arguments.
- avoid unbalanced charges of hypocrisy, knowing the equal and opposite change almost certainly applies as well
What does "steelman" mean? |
