Choose as a starting point or foundational principle for your position some statement or fact that you and your opponent can both agree on. 2. Always return to the question or issue at hand. 3. To redirect the concersation towards the relevant issue, answer the question first, then suggest a new focus. 4. If your opponent has asked the same question several times, recognize that you might not be providing a direct response. 5. Anticipating the argument of your opponent shows that you understand there are strong criticisms to your position. It also takes the wind out of your opponents sails on at least that point. 6. Verify the meaning of uncommon words or phrases. 7. Question assumptions by asking your opponent if they’re making the assumption you suspect they are. 8. Correct incorrect factual claims before answering questions. 9. Do not interrupt your opponent – even when you’re really excited or angry. 10. Beware of the false dichotomy. This is the moment you ask a stinging question and try to limit your opponent to one of two answers – both of which are bad for their position. 11. Keep your responses relevant to the issue at hand. 12. Acknowledge the weaknesses in your position by crediting your opponent with finding holes in it. 13. Be transparent when you suspect the motives of your opponent. It may help dig up more important, underlying issues.Get in touch! call or text (+1) 307-240-9190questions@crossexaminedlife.comcrossexaminedlife.comfacebook.com/groups/crossexaminedlifeTweet us: @CELpodcastInsta: @crossexaminedlifeKeep the debate going in the Cross Examined Life Community on FB (request to JOIN)
