The important thing is to try to meet an ideal standard; be open-minded, honestly seek truth, and try to identify then negate any biases you may have.
Mistakes will inevitably be made.
It's the ability to keep growing and changing with new information that makes you family here.

"We don’t like overreactions. They're coarse and rough and irritating, and they get everywhere. Perhaps we can find new ways to motivate people towards the logical explanation. You are free to use any methods necessary, but I want the explanations logical. No disintegrations."

Well? What do you think?
Was there possibly a lot of banging going on in a multiverse?
Or was it just one singular bang-event?
Were there people involved in this banging?
Or was it pure material energy doing the banging?
Would you liked to have been there to bang, or were you?

How much of one's political identity is the result of sociocultural indoctrination through fierce nationalistic education pathways & constant media-bombarded propaganda?
How much are just the product of a Terminid hive-mind?
Is it treason to even consider such, Helldiver?

Did the AI get it wrong? Does the image result fail to convey the prompt accurately?
Learning to communicate more accurately may be a positive by-product of a society seeped in AI products, as future generations learn to more effectively control those tools.

Do you tailor your "interventions" according to your understanding of those receiving them?
Should you shape your narrative or argument according to your audience?
How far does this process extend - what about your philosophical theory of truth (eg: correspondence for pragmatic)?

"Is this really the best (insert opposition label) can do?
What's wrong with (insert opposition label)?
Can anything even be done to help (insert opposition label) raise their standards or is incapacity just intrinsic to (insert opposition label)?"

Familiar? Desirable? Problem?

What are some topics which, when properly embraced with sufficient nuance, resemble this epistemic journey from "well yes.." to "..but actually no" in your experience or opinion?
Do you have a standout example of being convinced of X at first, but not-X after significant nuance?

Merry Happy Christmas Holidays - and in case you didn't know, 9 out of 10 experts agree that dogs should get their own plate at the big meal this holiday season, for mental health benefits, social cohesion, and a positive impact on the economy. Or so the experts say. Woof woof xx

We think that any supporting evidence presented, to be used in a public debate, should ideally be equally accessible in principle for any person, in order for them to fairly assess the claim and its support. This is a reasonable & rational standard to expect in online debates.
