how to ALWAYS win an argument

[@CoffeeBreaks]

to clarify: I'm NOT encouraging the use of fallacies, or suggesting that truth doesn't matter, I just wanted to make a video on tactics that, like it or not, occur all the time in arguments and debate. Enjoy, and if you have your own favorite fallacy or rhetorical trick that I didn't cover, comment and tell me what it is!

[@pamallama]

Your video reminds me of Aristotle's "Rhetoric." It seems like he promotes using dirty tactics, but it's probably more a work that teaches readers self-defense against strategies like these.

Premise 6: Cheese is basically a solid version of milk. Premise 7: So, using the same logic, more milk = less milk. Premise 8: Milk comes from cows.

Would people be the other people you're arguing against, or an outside audience looking for who's the most reliable looking guy/girl in the room? In the context of this video the techniques are deliberately dirty and rude tricks, designed to make a party or side win, not to make a logical point win. In this horrible type of "debate," the objective is not to have a conversation or convince the opposing party of your points; it's to convince an audience peering into the debate, and many experts think the only effective tactic to convince an audience you're right is to show that the other person is "weak" or "not even confident" about their points.

[@Doc-Holliday1851]

It's this kind of attitude about arguments that has resulted in the stalemate political sphere we currently live in. You argue because you believe you are right, you believe the facts align are on your side. If you find they aren't on your side, you reevaluate your argument, you find where its lacking and find out why that is. Maybe you even change your opinion. If you just use rhetorical tactics to win an argument rather than relying on facts and good ideas then you'll never change your opinions and bad ideas will flourish.

[@FreekinEkin2]

You probably already know this, but it's worth repeating; understanding comes from cooperative dialogue more so than competitive dialogue (though both have their uses). Politics is about promoting your narrative. It is not about being right. It is about making the demos believe what you say. However, argument/debate are based on opposition, and therefore are founded on intransigence and defensiveness. Defensiveness forces you to fix your meaning in place and continuously bolster it, like politics, even against the facts. So, on the one side you have politics (locks meaning in place/gains hegemony) and on the other you have understanding (sharing ideas to disturb this fixity). This is why political theory works in paradox, since both its terms run in opposite directions. So debate is often (not always) quite harmful to thought, since it complements the political fixity and hegemony it claims to undo.

Adit Seth debates have their disadvantages too. Things like the inability to fluidly respond to the other sides statements, just shoving in more than they have time to refute, requiring a constant standard of proof (at least as far as i know) that assumes certain institutions are actually trustworthy and that doesnt work with things that have gone unstudied for one reason or another. Overall debating seems to be its own skill and in some cases i have seen people lose debates solely due to a lack of said skill and not an inaccurate position

[@j37j2]

Dear Coffee Break, My boss had a conversation/debate with me yesterday in which the facts and logic were against him. He used every one of these tactics; probably unconsciously. Unfortunately, the facts against his position were so weighty and so undeniable that it didn't work. Also, he wasn't particularly good at any of these particular tactics. I managed to defeat his argument using only facts and logic, despite these tactics, something which I am very proud of. I recorded the conversation (for my own benefit, as I always do with this particular boss, because it helps me to be sure of my position in hindsight and identify/correct any faults and shortcomings on my part more accurately) and listened to it after watching your video, and I realize that I just kept bringing it back from these tactics to the facts and logic. I did this without knowing anything about what you presented in this video. But I did know that if facts and logic are firmly on your side, as in my case yesterday, a stronger position cannot be maintained, even in the face of sophistry. I have sometimes found myself getting distracted by these tactics in the past and veering from the facts of the argument into the realm of defense. Thanks to your video I am now more confident in the morality of how I conducted myself yesterday and in the strength of my position. I would appreciate it if you could do a video on how to win an argument using only logic and facts, without using these tactics.

[@j37j2]

May I also say that there is a horribly negative side-effect with using these tactics so frequently to intentionally put the other into personal defense mode over their character rather than over reason and evidence. That side effect is that people are consistently on the defensive, because they EXPECT character slander, even when facts and evidence are the only thing being presented to them. It's like facts and logic are taken as personal slights because they are so used to seeing and participating in personal slights in real life. So they EXPECT facts to be offensive, because there is an emotional attachment within themselves to their position. They have had to defend themselves, their own character, in conjunction with their position so frequently that it in effect melds their personal character with whatever their own position is at that time in their minds. So then facts become offensive in their minds, even when they are only the truth, regardless of how the information is presented.

[@j37j2]

And coffee break, I hope you read my previous replies because of how much your video has moved me. Thanks.

[@CoffeeBreaks]

If someone accuses you of arguing just say "I'm not arguing I'm explaining why I'm right"

By disagreeing that means that you are arguing by not having an agreement or a resolve in a conflict as you and the other party cannot accept the fact that “you are explaining you are right”.

At the beginning you said an argument is a war to be won. I completely disagree, if you treat an argument like a war there are no winners, only people with opposing views. If you treat an argument correctly, it can be a learning experience for both parties. In a good argument, there is someone who is right, and there is someone who learns. If anyone loses you are doing it wrong. The sooner people view arguments as learning opportunities the easier people will get along. Of course during subjective arguments neither person can be right, so you should have 2 learners. That being said, I understand the point of this video.

[@RamzaBeoulves]

This is only comment here that deserves to be pinned.

[@mrblonde609]

Yeah, pretty much this. When i was younger, i've read Schopenhauer, but now i have come to the conclusion that it's not about winning an argument, because there isn't really a win at all when your counterpart still thinks, that he is right and you are wrong. In most cases you will never change the opinion of another one, hence you 'haven't achieved anything. An argument in which people come to an agreement or someone is teaching the other one some things, are a win for both parties. That's the true and only way to win in an argument.

[@Excolobaid]

but the vast majority of people you'll argue with will use dirty tricks anyway. And even if you know it, you basically can't do anything but pointing it out, and start an argument about how your opponent used a dirty trick to win the argument... Arguments suck. The only valuable debates are philosophical or scientific debates, because then you're not trying to win, but to get the truth.

[@85Esparta]

[@edwardmaxwell3951]

Excolobaid Exactly! Anybody in a position of power uses dirty tricks to get there, especially politicians and business executives. If you're in a political debate or a board room, it's basically verbal warfare and you have to come prepared.

Tips to win an argument 1) twisting the sentence 2) keep blaming 3) consistently provoking 4) pointing out mistakes 5) Never waiting for an answer keep firing without a break

[@nondescriptnyc]

This was totally true-until maybe last year. These days, you can simply win an argument by randomly screaming, “Don’t you care about the future of our children?” when the argument has nothing to do with children. This is true for both extreme left and the extreme right!

[@dstinnettmusic]

Kafka Traps are a really fun debate trick.
