Brave is also good for built in ad block but cool, I didn't know that edge has that feature. One day it might be standard on all browsers and the next generation will laugh at our plight

I don’t believe in God, but if God simply showed himself and started bringing the dead back to life, that may convince me. Or if I had a 50 digit number written on a piece of paper in my pocket, and he could recite it to me, that would potentially be convincing.

Or I don’t believe in the existence of unicorns. But if I were to see a real life unicorn and upon scientific analysis, could confirm it isn’t a horse with a superglued horn in it, and that this unicorn could reproduce with other unicorns over several generations to create new unicorns, and that I could see the birth of a new unicorn with the horn, that would convince me that unicorns exist.

Your statement is completely wrong. It’s entirely possible to be aware of what would convince you, without actually being convinced if it beforehand.

Haha kids.

I bought the wrong pepperoni and the boy wouldn't eat it because he "doesn't like honey garlic".

I put them in the fridge and grabbed them back out and gave him one. Delicious....

Like fuck man. I know what you like, you don't. Leave my spicy pepperoni alone you cried last time.

Yeah, this feels like an anti-socratic method of arguing. This LPT seems more like IF you want to stop an argument from continuing, THEN you pull this tip, because no one will want to argue seemingly for the other side and will probably say 'nothing' and the argument will end.

Bigfoot is real, I believe that because he's been sighted in Washington in photos X Y and Z.

Evidence of X Y and Z being fake would change my mind.

What's so hard about this? You have to understand what their stance is, and what evidence they have to develop that stance. Then you break down their evidence.

  1. Give them space. Let them know mistakes are expected and ok. Be a resource they can come to for help, but allow them to problem-solve on their own. That way they can own the work and create their own style and process.

  2. Balance this with having them assist you on your own projects so they can learn first hand. Having your own projects going simultaneously also gives you something to do while they are working nearby.

  3. Include them in the entire process so they can see it as a whole. It's tempting to train someone on a single aspect of a process all the way through, then move on to the next thing, but it's more helpful for them to get a general understanding of the whole so they see how ideas connect. It will inform how they work on every level.
