Thank you for this thoughtful piece. Learning to "steelman" is a highly underrated skill. In fact, studying my opponent's arguments has been a catalyst for knowing how to explain and defend what I believe and why I believe it. Appreciate the reminder here - and the podcast recco.
Great post Prof. Baggett. Even as an Atheist, I believe there is a lot of wisdom in what you're saying and I think both sides can heed your advice.
Thanks so much! Keep in touch!
