They don’t start with a conclusion then seek out facts. They seek out facts then make a judgment. * We all have blind spots (confirmation bias). By being aware of them, we can improve our discourse. * Go meta to help manage discussions and improve them. Engage with Scott and Paul on the Twitter thought control machine. We’re also on Odysee (full episodes and clips). Follow Scott at Strength and Reason and on DESO. How to have thrilling conversations on blistering hot topics without fighting… It’s easier than you think. Download How to Never Argue Again (Unless you Want To) at Mentally Unscripted and discover the secret “Go Meta” approach that makes any topic fair game. It’s totally free (for now) and worth hundreds in therapy.  Cheers!  This is a public episode.
