  • When you discuss a topic and everyone agrees, the conversation often dies out quickly. But when you disagree, you're putting yourself in opposition to what was said and the discussion continues. Paul Graham, a computer engineer, therefore proposed a “Hierarchy of Disagreement” in 2008. Learn at which level you are able to articulate your disagreement. Hopefully it’s not just name-calling or responding to tone.

    Even the strongest argument is useless against stupidity.
    When finding oneself in a disagreement, proceed with the highest level of argument.
    If the presence of stupidity becomes evident in the opponent, disengage.
    One's time and energy to that point have been wasted, except for the discovery that stupidity is present.
    It would be foolish at that point to waste any more time or energy.

      when an argument is not about the procurement and dissemination of truth, it is almost always true that someone is being deceptive, that the argument is based on opinion, or that someone is not actually arguing but instead proselytizing.
      if you find yourself in such a situation, I would suggest stepping back to discern which is the case.
      if the argument is based on subjectivity, point this out, it should dissolve the argument.
      if there is deception, further look into what the intended deception is, then confront, it should cause the deceiver to panic and expose their horrid behavior, or disengage.
      if the other is proselytizing, find out for what, then confront, the preacher will likely turn to deception as a response.

      @@PIZZAdayisback firstly, you are using "objective" wrong, it is a relational term, not an aspect. it relates one thing to another, like it being objective that the human body is mostly water. you need two things, a subject and an object, in order to use the term. instead, a better word would be "absolute" or "true."
      secondly, how can you know something is an absolute truth without proof of such or an argument as to why? would you blindly believe someone if they told you the sky was green if you had never seen it? you cannot just believe everything told to you, and you cannot believe it is a lie either, you must be able to discern what is true and what is not, and the best way to do so is an argument.
      lastly, just in case you misunderstand what I was trying to say, not all arguments are yelling matches. an argument simply means a conversation about a disagreement.

      I understand because it's your way of coping!! It's your way of avoiding conflict passively!!! I'm that way to!!! It hurts because you are usually the one who's never heard but hears everyone else. If you ever speak up about a subject to others, then you'll be then characterized as a trouble maker ect..... not the ( sweet little person they can do or say anything to or about)!!!!! Although you finally had some valid input, it's something wrong with you according to them!!!! It's a cycle and you will probably end up retreating back to your quiet shell!!!! You'll will eventually have to navigate when to speak up or when to just not say anything!!! It's tricky and difficult because you aren't the difficult person. Not expressing yourself sometimes isn't Mental healthy for you either!!!

    1. As we have seen in the abolishment of slavery, voting status is not the deciding factor of who gets basic human rights.
    2. Partial agreement. Freedom includes how one uses and cares for your body, but a woman cannot exercise control of her body by gouging out someone’s eye with her thumb. Your rights end where another’s begin.
    3. There are known genetic factors that cause a difference in melanin distribution in the skin, as well as facial structure and muscle density.
    4. Fully agree. The only way to deal with bad ideas is to discuss them openly without threat of violence or legal repercussions.

    A good rundown of the types of counteragruments however if anyone argues that the Earth is flat, it is certainly not for the lack of videos of the Earth from space. It's that they don't believe those videos are genuine. So using Earth in space videos as an argument in this debate is pointless.

    Race and colour are an effect of genetics which decides our phenotypes, so clearly, they have a scientific root. However, there is no superior or inferior colour or race. A fish swims, and a bird flies. They are different and diverse. One can't mark a clear superiority or inferiority here. As the bird drowns in water and fish suffocates in air. Everyone is important for the functioning of a society. Maybe there will be a genius fish to invent an air suit and genius bird to be able to go scuba diving.

      I disagree. We do not use race in science, we use gemides(I think I spelled this wrong). Race is real but the decision to make it distinct is what’s socially constructed. For example height and race are the same, we can find very clearly distinct heights all across the world based of Geographical places. Just like race, it happens because of where we live. So we could have had races based on height and they would’ve been equally as true.

    when there is a disagreement in topics, the most open minded and wise thing to do is 1- clarify what others are saying. Repeat it to them to make sure thats the point they are trying to point across. After making sure that you understood their statement, its important to do the 2- and this is the most important thing that most people DO NOT DO, which is , to actually do ask questions from the other person to understand why do they believe what they believe, and if there was no time, or the person is not able to explain clearly, to ask them for more info, for example, if a person thinks earth is flat, the open minded thing to do is to have them send you links to watch, books to read, and completely learn about the topic fully, the same with political sides, and economics, and etc. To understand why people believe the things they believe, its important to actually throw yourself into their world, and learn about other sides that is out of your comfort zone. That is how you become knowledgable, smart, can have interesting and wise debates. I teach this to my daughter, never argue, debate, open your mouth about issues, topics that you have not learned deeply, researched, yourself, instead of listening to tv box.... Everyone has an agenda to push and nowadays its hard to find anything , if you see anything online that has debunk videos, the more curious you should be about that topic! that means its a good info they are trying to hide. If you show flat earthers the google photos of the flat earth, you will offend them, because thats not actually what they believe. thats just an example.

It was a variant of this that lead to another important thought process: the scientific method, where we just direct it towards nature itself rather then just another person. But in order to have any of that we first need to have an idea that the universe is orderly, something that is uniquely Christian.

    1) At the base of this argument there's two ideas : the first is that the woman is putting her needs before the fetus's, but the fetus will suffer if he does become a baby, not if he gets aborted. The second one is that the rights of the fetus are being ignored, however, the most logical reason why the fetus should have rights is that it might become a human being, however that logic is flawed because, although different, there are many situations where everyone would disregard something that might become a human being, sperm, egg cells, etc
    2) absolutely true, the control over our own body is the most basic of all rights, so unless the woman can't or isn't in the right state to make an important decision, she should always have control over her own body, even in the case where she would make the wrong choice.

    The ones that I have disagreement is the firsts two statements, which I consider to be related.
    In this sense, is not just a matter of having control of your own body, but also having to deal with the life of another human being. If freedom is inherent to everyone, the unborn person should also be considered for that purpose, regardless the capability to vote, which is, after all, also an act of freedom.
    I am not taking a position regarding rather abortion is right or wrong, or if women should have more control over their body, but I believe I am pointing out an argument to effectively oppose the firsts two statements together.
    It is a very complex theme discussed around the world by parliaments and even supreme courts of justice.

    Awesome video. I do think that you encounter problems when arguing a point when an individual takes that point as personal item or identity. You counter the notion that the world ain't round with various facts and logic, but the person who made the statement now feels that you're attacking them because the belief that the world ain't round is a core and fundamental belief which gives them a sense of identity. They are part of the "educated" group who have higher knowledge, you doubt the sage wisdom they as educators have provided. You challenge the point they have made, but they in turn get offended and start calling you names. What started as a genuine conversation has now devolved into screeching, zealous, anti-social behaviour.
    Sometimes, you just can't convince fools.

    "if liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear" I agree, I think that all people should have the right to say what they want as long as they don't call for violence, or what they say could be harmful to others, like shouting "fire" when there isn't a fire, but that said people dont't have to listen to them, they simply can't stop them from speaking in the first place, so you can't ban people for saying what they want to as long it isn't harmful.

    Yes, good argumentation SHOULD make a better world. But many have arrived at erroneous beliefs through feelings and tribal loyalty. Presenting good argumentation may actually be counter-productive. They’ll dig their heels in.
    If you really mean to correct erroneous belief it may be necessary to deconstruct why the believer came to their belief from a social and psychological perspective. “Believing the Earth is flat makes you feel smart, right? You must admire the person who convinced you the first time.” They are probably not crazy or stupid for arriving at their beliefs. Adopting those beliefs brought acceptance from their chosen group.

  • @gigi3103
    @gigi3103 Před rokem +5

    Excellent video, once again doing a great job at helping people think critically. I would offer a further level of response that is more discursive, rather than merely countering.
    Instead of immediately rebutting a statement you disagree with, ask neutral, respectful questions aimed at understanding why they believe what they do, before providing your own view e.g. 'that's a thought provoking idea, what makes you believe that?'. This will help get to the root of the statement without causing defense. If you don't find their statement convincing, your response can be 'how interesting, I personally feel X because Y'. The aim is to take a journey together in pursuit of knowledge and understanding. You might find that you challenge your own preconceptions in the process, or gain greater sympathy for those who disagree with you.*
    *Naturally, you could still receive responses that seem emotive and ill considered, but at least this way you encourage others to think critically with you, rather than becoming defensive and more entrenched in preconceived ideas.

    When you engage in a conversation objectively looking to be the winner and as a result making the other party the looser I think you both loose. Part of why political and religious discussions go no where. The most rewarding conversations I’ve came across are when you try to understand the other party. Understand their cognitive processes and why they conclude what they conclude. Understand potential biases you may have and they may have. Are we speaking from emotion rather than logic? Often times if you are overly emotional about a topic you open yourself up to being bias. There’s something to take away from every social engagement. If you want to wrestle with someone for the sake of it. Chess is probably better or jiu jitsu. Food for thought.

    It seems that all of these statement's were specifically made to be, for most people, morally in the right but not for the right reason, or for a misleading, vague reason. Which is why, in most cases I believe one should always ask for clarification or elaboration on an argument they disagree with.

    I’m quite pleased that I thought about saying that the world was more like an oval shape. But I thought that that would be a slightly obnoxious response. Although I do understand that it is also a really good response because it’s not connecting the two statements and forming an possibly incorrect assumption about this. The “central point”idea, is such an interesting way of looking at things but - being totally honest, in order to really get a proper understanding of this, I’d have loved to have been guided through each one of the statements. I’d find it difficult to do this on my own after only 8 minutes.

    (6:30) I'm gonna go back to the points listed at the beginning of the video and try to refute them
    1. first of all, abortion has to do with unborn fetuses, not babies. Second, children aren't able to vote yet killing them is illegal
    2. The same applies to men, so I'm confused by the quote
    3. Something I heard about this a few years ago from a trusted source alters how I think about this to the point that I don't know what to think anymore
    4. That is incredibly vague. Also, we have dictionaries and can check what liberty actually means

    4• limiting speech that we agree with isn't rational [likely], only that with which we are naive, ambivalent, or oppose. 'free speech' is not just the right for one to speak, but also the right for one to hear others speech. if a person is prevented from hearing an idea by a third person or authority, then they have lost a choice of their autonomy. even if the opinion is 'bad' or 'irrational' or 'unsubstantiated,' it could be any listener that would be able to refute it or better formulate it towards a workable solution - if given the opportunity to first hear it. there is no other way to progress except through a conflict of ideas and a negotiated [argued] solution of compromise or agreement. limiting speech only reveals an inability to think or defend one's own opinions. edit:typo

    Could a form of valid argument also be a question, though? In the example, "No woman can call herself free who does not control her own body" that is a vague statement. Control her body in what sense? Control when she urinates? Make the choice whether or not to carry a fetus to full term? Those are two completely different scenarios. Plus, we have addressed why this hypothetical freedom isn't, so then what is it?
    I do not argue much, I often just ask questions that allow people to find the conclusion I came to. It probably has a lot to do with me being a teacher, thought.

    2• it's unjust to limit the argument to 'women' and 'body,' when no person is free who does not control the fruits of their labor which includes that and also men and what one can do with one's body - ie free will. in any society, with every rule, someone's autonomy is being limited. while not explicit in the comment, the opinion is largely associated with the debate over abortion but except in the extreme and limited examples, the woman has made a choice to engage in the activities that result in pregnancies, and while it grown within her, it is not her body, but another that lives.

      Some would say it is a disagreement because they see it as an argument against what they are saying. There are also people that get very hostile towards anyone questioning them on their ideals or beliefs.

      they are both ad hominems. Name calling is technically an "abusive ad hominem", where the intention is just to throw an insult that doesn't refute the argument in any way. A standard ad hominem will insult the person in a way that fallaciously implies that their argument is weak due to a character flaw. There's also valid ad hominems, where the attack on the person highlights a valid reason that their argument is flawed (ie they have vested interests, they're a known liar etc.)
