I'll be in NYC this Saturday giving a talk on strategies for having useful arguments (cohosted by the NYC LW meetup). For me, useful arguments tend to be ones where:

• I learn something new
• I notice faster if I'm wrong (and hopefully, so does my interlocutor)
• It's easier to admit the above (for either of us)

I'll be talking a bit about my experience running Ideological Turing Tests and what you can apply from them in day to day life. I'm also glad to answer questions about CFAR and/or the upcoming workshop in NYC in November.
