It has the nutrients I crave

What is a sandwich if not a bread salad?

Its seems a steelman is making the other person’s argument stronger before tearing it down whereas mine seems to be airing out the inconsistencies/taking it down a peg (but not false things like Strawmen) before conceding the argument or its outcome is ultimately compelling to me

Its like my logical side is having a mild tantrum that theres all these ridiculous things about it even tho I end up sort of buying whatever they are selling. Like a reverse-order “I accept but here’s why I shouldn’t”

Edit: tearing it down before conceding to it

I’m not so much looking for “brain games” as something that facillitates practicing crit thinking in terms of recognizing and evaluating claims and detecting biases and rhetoric etc. Maybe media crit a bit also, like “what are the claims being made and argue against them or what is a counterargument” etc

I wonder if that law school entrance exam prep thingy would be helpful…

This sounds dope

Nice to hear you made it work better for yourself tho. Boundaries make a huge difference.

Are you No contact with them? Have they at least improved if not?
