"In the best Talmudic tradition of arguing a position as forcefully as possible and then switching sides, let me now present the case of discouraging certain lines of intellectual inquiry" - What is Your Dangerous Idea? book
Wow! I wonder how that would work. To forcefully argue your idea BUT then switch sides and argue for the opposite side with just as much rigor.
Could you do it with all of your heart being in it? I believe that if our politicians did this then they would agree to middle ground much easier.
Would this work in relationships? Work? I think it is so powerful that it is a game-changer. You just have to find willing opponents.
Today's question is:
"Could you argue both sides with equal rigor"
