MUNGERS LAW #4 - KNOW THE OTHER SIDE BETTER THAN THEY KNOW IT.
Charlie never allows himself to have an opinion on a subject unless he can state the opposing argument better than the opposition can. Don't create STRAW MAN arguments, create STEEL MAN arguments.
If you're a marxist, you should know the benefits of consumer capitalism better than Adam Smith. In every debate, be like @BretWeinstein moderating @SamHarrisOrg & @jordanbpeterson. State the strengths of your opposition and the weakness of your own.
STEEL MANNING is Antifragile. You either prove your theory correct or end up with a better idea. Win-Win. STRAW MANNING is Fragile. You spend years emotionally attached to the first idea that got in your head. Lose-Lose.
