Would you like to win arguments and persuade people? There is a trick to it: early in the discussion, notice that you are wrong about something — you exaggerated a point in your excitement, or you made a strong claim out of a weak hunch. There will always be something. Then, just go ahead and call yourself out: “Actually, I don’t remember where I got that… I remember it seemed well informed,” or something like that. If you can do that often, you will be about 1000% more persuasive. It’s a superpower.
