Double Crux
Double Crux
Double crux is great framework were both parties abstract their arguments by one level and find a falsifiable fact that, if proven true, would cause them to change their beliefs.
- Focus on narrowing the scope of the discussion. Find common ground.
- Define terms to avoid getting lost in semantic confusions that miss the real point.
- Ask "What would need to be true for you to change your mind?".
- Find specific test cases.
Don't focus on proving yourself right, instead of focus on getting the best outcome. Keep the conversation simple and summarize the conversation during the discussion.
