Intriguing and slightly savage
Hey folks, quick pro tip to level up every tech discussion youâre in aand trust me, youâll come out looking like the smartest person in the room without even trying Next time someone hits you with a spicy tech take you disagree with like, âAI doomers are paranoid,â âWeb3 is dead,â âApple fanboys drink the Kool-Aidâ, donât rush to dunk on the weakest version of their argument. Thatâs the classic straw man move, and itâs basically intellectual junk food. Instead, pull out the Steel Man super-weapon. Pause, Breathe, Then rephrase their point back to them in its strongest, most badass form: âSo what youâre saying is insert the most charitable, well reasoned version of their argument here, right?â Wait for the nod or clarification, then drop your counterpoints. Why this one tiny habit is pure magic: - It instantly lowers defensesâsuddenly youâre teammates hunting truth, not enemies in a cage match. - You actually understand the other side (and sometimes⊠gasp⊠learn something). - You dodge the trap of arguing against a scarecrow you built yourself. - In the endless tech wars on here, it makes you the rare voice of reason people actually listen to. Do well to learn your thoughts. Thank you
