See, this is a guide to winning an argument every time.
But I don’t want to win an an argument when I’m wrong. That’s not why I argue.
I argue to see if other smart people can poke holes in my arguments.
I’m not trying to win. I’m trying to learn.
(I’m actually hoping to lose most arguments I get into, because that would be far more interesting — I learn new things that way.)
‘Winning’ arguments even when you’re wrong is the first step on the road to becoming a psychopath. Or possibly a TV pundit.
