Jeremy Wright points out certain things that you see every single time people get into one of these long drawn out arguments on the internet. You'll see people do what he calls gravitation toward postures of objectivity. They can sort of, from the way he writes about it, is they can become the judge instead of the lawyer for the arguing for their side. He has a recommendation as to what you should do if that starts to happen.
On this episode we discuss the psychology of arguing and interview both Jeremy Shermer and Hugo Mercier. Afterward, I eat an orange chocolate chip cookie and read a news story about reading your partner's mood in old age.
