I would love to see people start out. So what one of the things that I'll ask people to do is pick your some issue that you think and you think the person who has a different idea from you, it has to be. It's odious, it's objectionable, it's hateful, it's only some kind of moral monster would hold that opinion. And for different people, it will be different topics.

So whatever it is for you, and you can do this sitting in a room by yourself, pick that issue and challenge yourself to try and come up with a version of that person's opinion, the one that you find objectionable, that would make sense to you. And I mean something really specific by makes sense.

I mean that you can't hang on an assumption about their intent or that they just don't have the right information. So I call these, I have names for these fallacies, the fallacy of equal knowledge and the fallacy of known intent.

And I'll just say this again. By makes sense, you're not hanging it on an assumption about their intent or that they just don't have the right information.
