@tom.fitzgerald13: They called him the wisest man in Athens… because he admitted he knew nothing. Socrates never wrote a book. Never charged for teaching. He just asked questions—deep, uncomfortable, relentless ones. Through his Socratic Method, he exposed ignorance, hypocrisy, and pretension, by simply refusing to accept shallow answers. His reward? Put on trial for “corrupting the youth” and sentenced to death by hemlock. Ask better questions. Think deeper. Live a life examined.

Socrates wasn't actually interested in debating to disprove - he was interested in debating to learn in the pursuits of knowledge. What he would do is take an opposing statement and then reinforce it further before then constructively critiquing it. We call this "steel manning" instead of straw manning.

its sounds quite strait forward but not easy in practise. bare in mind you will be engaging with pseudo skeptical and social skeptical who will alter reality in order to be right. arguments should be done with civility and with emotionally mature individuals. intellectualism will never be able to humble the arrogant.

Ppl are often defensive & hyped up for an argument. When you don’t match this energy it disarms people

90% of people are not capable to handle their own contradictions so there is that.. If S was alive today he would throw in the towel.

This method assumes that the other is bright enough to *not* descend into circular reasoning. Too many people can't be led to question their own position because they don't understand the crucial point of their own position & restarts their circular thinking.

In the age of Tiktok & Instagram, argument is too brief and telegraphic to deploy the Socratic method. Interogatives are ignored & assertions repeated - often with sneers or insults

your example of the socratic method isn't accurate. maybe due to time restraints?

this only works if your opponents position contradicts itself. if it's logical then this technique will just lead them to explain how it makes sense and be very convinz

Violence from video games is a thing I did a little research as a project in school to learn how to do research on specific topics. And the conclusion whas that little evidence sees a link but only in some individuals 🧐
