Cross Examined Life Chris Tatem

Mike and Nick debate whether Bitcoin will last or whether it is a fad.
1: Defining your terms and its sub-terms and factors is critical to understanding between conversation partners.
2: Responding clearly to each of your partner’s points is a great way to keep ideas organized.
3: Every once in a while, summarize what you think your conversation partner is saying, and check with them, before moving on, that they are in fact saying what you think they’re saying.
4: Honestly acknowledge vulnerabilities in your position and resist the temptation to imply that you have a perfect or comprehensive response to every argument advanced.

This special, bonus episode was recorded live, the evening of the 2020 presidential election in the U.S. It's more of a conversation, than a cross-exam. Much was left unsaid.

Frank defends: Donald Trump deserves a 2nd term.
PRACTICAL TAKEAWAY TIPS
1. No matter what you oppose, go look for material that contradicts your own biases: you may be surprised what you find.
2. Instead of dismissing a suspicious fact out of hand as untrue, research it and find out the real truth or falsity of the statement.
3. Words matter. Although actions speak louder than words, it’s somewhat disingenuous for us to tell people they should ignore our words and only focus on our actions.
4. No matter how far down a rabbit trail you’ve gone, always circle back and answer the question posed.
5. Be careful about calling a conversation childish, or otherwise unimportant.
6. Consider the power of forgiving the insults of others and instead of meeting those insults blow for blow, treating the other person better – and perhaps how you would want to be treated.
