- 1. Never actually argue the issue. Or cherrypick who you respond to and how. Find an amateur
- 2. Form a narrative that the other side is wrong because they arent satisfying your standards in some way, regardless of veracity or even if it is even an empirical issue and not just arbitrary demands on your part.
- 3. Dont look into opposing arguments. Bears repeating. Pretend they dont exist because you're so obviously right
