Here is some verse about steelmanning I wrote to the tune of Keelhauled. Compliments, complaints, and improvements are welcome.
*dun-dun-dun-dun
Steelman that shoddy argument
Mend its faults so they can't be seen
Help that bastard make more sense
A reformulation to see what they mean
To whomever downvoted parent: Please don't downvote methods for providing epistemic rationality techniques with better mental handles so they actually get used. Different tricks are useful for different people.
Alestorm are a very rationalist band. I particularly like the lyrics:
You put your faith in Odin and Thor, We put ours in cannons and whores!
Its about how a religious society can never achieve what technology can.
