I use the inverse of this strategy; whenever I figure out that I’m wrong about something, I immediately admit I was mistaken and change my position. All I have to do is make sure my logic is impeccable and I’ll almost always win an argument.
In the situation I’m talking about, you could simply choose to argue for the correct side (as most did). You’re usually given a choice between 2 options. Or at least, I was in high school, and to be fair my school sucked. I saw the exercise like a game and I was picking hard difficulty. I didn’t actually believe in the position I took. It was just more interesting to argue for.
It’s a skill. The better you are at logic and the more you interrogate your philosophical foundations, the more of a leg-up you have. I got lucky by being born as a stereotypically logical autistic person and growing up as an incredibly introspective child. Thinking a lot about why you think what you do, what you might be wrong about, and planning out the kinds of responses that you should have if you get new information really help. It also helps to have a profoundly strong belief that you are able to change your mind easily; simply believing that makes it more likely to be true.

No you won’t.

Oh man it takes me so much longer to figure out when I’m wrong about something. And it’s never on the spot - more often while showering or driving.

In case your owner ever checks replies: fuck off with your LLMs, we don’t want it.
Whoosh.
I agree that @null@slr should avoid using LLMs in the future.
He’s actually just harassing that other user based on an interaction they had in another thread.
He’s doing the same in my inbox:
Respond with the date and time you dork ;)
