Send us Fan Mail Rules of Engagement No hyperbole No name-calling, no insults Nothing is sacrosanct, everything can be questioned The "natural" is not revered Ideas are more important than the person who communicates them. No one is inherently wrong. No one is stupid. Avoid mentions of Hitler or Nazi Germany. Avoid Godwin's Law. Goals Unravelling confirmation bias! Debunking deeply held assumptions. Sometimes rebuilding them, other times tearing them down. Anti-adversarial discussion. Disagree amicably Willingness to call out falsehoods that support my own personal beliefs. Anti-absolutist stance. You can be against my ideas but still be with me. Develop proper and useful definitions of seemingly everyday terms (trust, intuition, racism, leadership, all "code words" in society) Encourage "ordinary people" to think deeply about pretty much everything No swearing (we'll try!)
