I Changed My Mind about Error-Correcting Debate, Misogyny and More

For example, in scenarios where it’s hard to find better arguments, even when you ask people for them or look them up, what are some ways to find those better arguments? I think you talked about finding some better arguments for nutrition? But was that luck? Did you just happen to find it, or is that strategy repeatable?

Also, any other concrete strategies you think are important. I remember you writing to another member here and you said "If you’re concerned about something, you should at least do minimal research, not just post it anyway with no research. Why avoid doing any research? Minimal research, like a google search, a wikipedia check and an AI query, is fast and easy (I mean doing all 3, not just 1). " Even though it may seem simple, that kind of concrete example was helpful. I think part of it was because you made the strategies explicit.
