467sprite Well, I made the account 10 years ago when it wasn't an outdated fad and I never felt like changing it. Still, funny that was your best shot.
Excellent observation. Humans have a varying degrees of ego, whether they are conscious about it or not. Its so hard to even try to end an argument lol. Of course the other person will think you are shutting him/her up....
@Vincent Ikanova - I don't like feminists or SJW's, but everything you said can also be applied just the same to the far right position. The ideal ground is somewhere in the middle, between the two positions.
+Vincent Ikanova If that is your mentality, then you are part of the problem. Using generalizations like "leftists" is simplifying things and is just an attempt of making your side look like the right side (no pun intended). (Also, "leftism" doesn't equal "feminism" or "SJW". There are plenty of people on the left who despise SJWs and are "anti-feminists". Some good examples are Sargon of Akkad and The Amazing Atheist.) One can find a lot of examples where the left has the rational position and the right wing position is based on feelings. For example abortion, LGBT rights, stuff like that (not saying that people on the left don't use feeling based arguments to argue their positions either - even if you are right, it doesn't mean you should just disregard the other side by calling them "bigots" or whatever). And again, that's a stupid generalization. I know there are plenty of people on the right who support LGBT rights and all that. Also, "female mentality"... What does that even mean? Are you implying that women can't debate rationally? Are you using "woman" as an insult? (And these are just questions, not accusations, because I really don't understand what you mean by that.) +Vincent T. _"The ideal ground is somewhere in the middle, between the two positions."_ Usually yeah, but not always. Sometimes one side is totally right and the other side is totally wrong. One thing that comes to my mind is gay marriage. But again, it is also about the way you argue. If you disregard all of the points the other side makes because they are "bigots" or "just wrong", that's really not a good way of arguing. Even if the other side is completely wrong, it's important to understand where they are coming from. People will not listen to you if you don't listen to them first.
Easy! *Let them talk first to show that you're willing to cooperate. *Don't break eye contact from your opponent. *Tilt your head slightly. *Don't forget to smile.
"You're wrong. You are incorrect. Prove me wrong" 1) Actively Listen Okay, I am listening 2) Empathize I know how you feel about me being wrong, and I feel the same way. We both feel the same. 3) Build a Rapport I feel like I'm not wrong though... Are my feelings wrong? 4) Influence Maybe I am right, have we thought about that? 5) They change "Yeah you are right"
I've always gone into arguments when I see necessary and I know that I have all my facts ready so I usually never "lose". I also admit when I'm wrong and can change my thoughts on something without whining about it. I've been like this for as long as I can remember because I hate when people talk about something likes its a fact or act like they are right about something without any thing to back it. In other words I hate ignorance
People get sick of it, and eventually feel less empathy towards you; like crying wolf. Evidence does not always mean you are right or wrong, or they are right or wrong, it just means you have a perspective of truth (like sunrise/sunset seen from the ground, but from space the planet actually orbits the sun). If you don't listen to people, why should they listen to you?
Well arguing often turns into a monologue. There are countless people out there that dont know how to express themselves,how to communicate and how to have a debate of any sorts. Many go: Im right you are wrong end of story, so why bother to listen to their bs?
I used to want to understand where other people are coming from but when i came to the realization that most people want you to understand them without trying to understand you, i gave up. now i find peace in knowing people are different and i dont have to care what you think and what you wanna do unless if affects me physically or personally. i still think thats the easiest way to live so far.
Step 6: Belittle them. Step 7: Convince them they feel bad as a result of their own actions. Step 8: Convince them that they will never stop feeling horrible. Step 9: Explain how much of a failure they are. Step 10: Suggest Suicide as a answer to their problems.
I love how at 1:56-1:58 he was referring to couples and showed pictures of 2 people; a straight interracial relationship and a gay interracial relationship. DNews keeps dropping subtle everyday issue and is normal here. Glad I subbed :)
Interesting - I've come up with the FBI's method on my own. I just picture the events that occur when I argue with someone and it pretty much lined up the same way. Basically, the best way to win an argument is to let people know it's ok to be wrong. Be polite in your disagreements and it doesn't have to get that heated.
When I'm wrong I just modify my arguments around the new information and stop abandon whatever I was wrong about. In this way my arguments become stronger and more persuasive. Granted, it's impossible to persuade some people, but then you don't argue with them to persuade them, you argue to either strengthen your own arguments or persuade spectators, or possibly out of some sadistic or masochistic impulse.
I disliked because a real argument is won by being most logical. There is nor reason to argue with people who are unwilling to admit they are wrong, so this video is pointless. Also it says that know one is willing to admit they are wrong when in reality only worthless people are unwilling to admit that they are wrong.
pandaman i can bet you are not looking only at logical arguments when arguing.. and even if you are 99% of people dont do that so calling them all worthless is an exaggeration still i must admit its anoying
I did a great job getting someone to reconsider their view of the racial injustices over in the US, by giving them something to be right about by pointing how the horrendous gender-disparity in the American Justice system also is. They wanted to call foul-play on one, but couldn't really do it without calling foul play on both. So I just encouraged them to see how the same moronic human biases are at play.

I understand my friend, I know where this is coming from, maybe u dint start on the right foot with people who follow the path of God, I believe u should research more in this topic and open ur eyes to light of islam, read the quran for yourself, dont listen to some immoral arrogant guy, be the smarter person and read the quran and shut them up if u think they are wrong,... let's see if this convinces u
You've won an argument when your opponent breaks into anger and/or resorts to personnel insults. I have won one where opp. changed his mind, but it was ugly, looked like he had a nervous breakdown, and collapsed in repenting fashion. Another thing is when arguing for awhile, you drop an excellent point and walk away from it. Your opp will naturally drop his/her own last word. You ignore/dismiss it, if your opp continues, you know you've won because he/she doesn't feel satisfied with the end result. When I lose arguments I just shut up.
There are two more ways to win: 1) agree with them on a point, then expand on it showing that A=>B=>C and they don't like C; now it's their turn to find a way to avoid C or find the flaw in the logic you presented , which could actually result in finding a flaw in their own logic... 2) the game of frames: hard to explain but it describes how everyone processes data differently. Step 1 is to be aware how you and your opponent see the world differently; 2 find a possible overlapping frame to your advantage. Examples: see the YT video _Game of Thrones: How Power Really Works_
I'm discovering more and more that emotions are more accessible than logic, in fact logic works within the boundaries that our emotions define. By removing the stigma of the dissenting opinion, making the other/outsider seem less unpleasant, logic becames unencumbered to reach new conclusions. With that said, emotions are still such a messy, chaotic variable though that just complicates everything unnecessarily. I wish they never existed.
Yeah. I think this is a problem, especially online. People argue, they don't discuss. If you argue, it will never change anybody's mind, it will just strengthen your own views. But if your goal is to understand each other and find some common ground, then it will work much better. Both sides will most likely learn something new from the discussion.
God damn, that was some sly add placement. Caught me off guard while I was thinking about the video. I guess I cant argue with that! ᵇᵘᵗ ᵈᵃᵐᶰ, ᴵ ʷᵃᶰᵗ ᵃ ᵇᵒᵒᵐ ᵇᵒˣ ᶰᵒʷ⋅
wasn't necessarily talking about that one. I didn't click on it, but yeah I totally get why its over priced. I don't need one that bad, but if I had the money for it or just shopped around for a different brand, I would be giving some one business.
I have done this frequently with my wife about firearms and she seems to reset after a brief period of time. She knows her fears and arguments are irrational, and has changed her opinion, but for some reason resets.
This technique in arguing realistically won't work in any typical arguments I have. In fact, this is usually the technique I try and use, but maybe slightly different. Also, arguments do not have to be wars. There does not have to be a winner or loser. The problem is so many people treat arguments as wars, even really smart people. In opinionated arguments, there can't be a winner because it's an opinion. In a factual argument, there is a correct answer, but people will still deny it, sometimes even when provided direct evidence.
Depending on how much you really care about the subject just ignore them and continue what your doing, however if otherwise only use things that they can relate to in hope that they have the same feeling as you currently do. Hope this helps
All of these tips work well. Listen passively, showing concern for the other persons feelings, and validating them and then discussing yours in relation to them in a friendly manner builds trust. Only then can you build trust and find mutual solutions. My partner is a person who is easily swayed by emotions. By following the steps in the video we are able to avoid a lot of stress and argument. As the man in this video clearly points out, it isn't about wrong and right. It is about emotional conflicts. I do think, however, that the presenter could avoided all the sex jokes by choosing how he addressed his audience with more care. I mean wow. People think about sex all the time.
My guilty pleasure is reading other people's arguments on UA-cam comments, Reddit, and Facebook. There, I said it. The weight is lifted off my burdened chest. BuzzFeed is my favorite channel to read hehehe sometimes I even start arguments there
People who care more about bettering themself will actually enjoy when people let them know that they are wrong so long as what the person is saying is true and criticism can be welcomed if the person cares more about making progress and showing gratitude to the person for letting them know something that they didn't realize before. Those people can easily admit when they did something wrong or if the way they are going about doing something is far from optimal.
I fail to see any success after empathizing. The "influence" stage sounds so simple. I'd like to hear more about specific things I could do to influence my counterpart
He's talking about empathy and listening and stuff. Just because you do it to them, or trust them, that doesn't mean they will do the same to you. Some people are just...not good.
If you define "winning an argument" by having the last "word"...here is my sure-fire way of making sure you get the last say. All you have to do is retort each time (after your opponent finishes his long-winded argument/rant with the shortest possible statement of disagreement you can achieve without making your opponent suspicious of your "Trolling" technique/strategy. For example "there's no way"...go smaller "no way"..."nope"..."nah"..."no"...then when you get down to just shaking your head make another much longer rant to throw your opponent off balance...then go back to making your retorts smaller again. The idea is to make your opponent "run out of steam" from his/her long rants while you conserve your energy and stay calm and keep patient waiting for your opponent to give up trying to convince you...there-by making you the victor of the argument...CONGRATULATIONS!
oh and also if it looks like your opponent is about to give up, make sure to keep pushing them and dragging them back into the argument as many times as you can and try to get them to make very long rants while you just pretend to listen LOL
Persuasion is manipulation. To me, that's the wrong way to go about it. Rather than persuade, you should instead inform. I believe in what's called the self debate. What this means is that you ignore emotional reactions to arguments and just bombard them with facts, figures, and numbers regardless of how they respond, and never personally attack. If you are thorough enough, they will recall that information and the brain will slowly correct itself. It's done using the same conflict resolution techniques that make excuses. Instead, those conflict resolutions will compromise the learned information with the information they already had. The difference, though, is that the person can formulate a more logical opinion and really gain information, rather than just being manipulated into accepting someone's logic. I know this because it's what I go through. I constantly think of what others have told me, and I try to apply that information in a logical way.
Being right doesn't help winning an argument. The way I do it is that I deliver the facts than listen as my opponent makes a fool at of themselves. Needless to say it rarely works. Making it all the more surprising when it does.
That's because so few people have the level of humility required to admit they're wrong. They're taught from day one that being right is the important part, but not how to be right by accepting when you're wrong and changing your mind. They're punished for being wrong (in the Prussian model government school system the U.S. and most western countries utilize), humiliated for it, and then expected to have some kind of humility about it when they are grown up? Yeah right.
In a perfect world, being calm and considerate will help you win an argument. In the real world, it only gives your opponent the idea that you're submissive and afraid of losing their approval.
I did this with my girlfriend. We are not together anymore.
you cut your hand off?

Well, I made the account 10 years ago when it wasn't an outdated fad and I never felt like changing it. Still, funny that was your best shot.
Which is why I define arguing as "spewing out words until your opponent rage quits"
True

In other words, make sure you tip-toe around your opponent's ego

That would count, but I was just talking about politics in general. *Nearly all* politicians speak many lies to win votes

When I'm wrong I just modify my arguments around the new information and stop abandon whatever I was wrong about.

By following the steps in the video we are able to avoid a lot of stress and argument. As the man in this video clearly points out, it isn't about wrong and right. It is about emotional conflicts.
I do think, however, that the presenter could avoided all the sex jokes by choosing how he addressed his audience with more care.
I mean wow. People think about sex all the time.
My guilty pleasure is reading other people's arguments on UA-cam comments, Reddit, and Facebook. There, I said it. The weight is lifted off my burdened chest.
BuzzFeed is my favorite channel to read hehehe sometimes I even start arguments there
Go to Onision channel you will find some really interesting argument and one day you will find yourself in one....
You need a portion of convincing truth, and that is a portion of experienced knowledge.
You destroy any lie with experienced knowledge.
People who care more about bettering themself will actually enjoy when people let them know that they are wrong so long as what the person is saying is true and criticism can be welcomed if the person cares more about making progress and showing gratitude to the person for letting them know something that they didn't realize before. Those people can easily admit when they did something wrong or if the way they are going about doing something is far from optimal.
I fail to see any success after empathizing. The "influence" stage sounds so simple. I'd like to hear more about specific things I could do to influence my counterpart
First person to leave a hopeless argument is a winner
He's talking about empathy and listening and stuff. Just because you do it to them, or trust them, that doesn't mean they will do the same to you. Some people are just...not good.
If you define "winning an argument" by having the last "word"...here is my sure-fire way of making sure you get the last say. All you have to do is retort each time (after your opponent finishes his long-winded argument/rant with the shortest possible statement of disagreement you can achieve without making your opponent suspicious of your "Trolling" technique/strategy. For example "there's no way"...go smaller "no way"..."nope"..."nah"..."no"...then when you get down to just shaking your head make another much longer rant to throw your opponent off balance...then go back to making your retorts smaller again. The idea is to make your opponent "run out of steam" from his/her long rants while you conserve your energy and stay calm and keep patient waiting for your opponent to give up trying to convince you...there-by making you the victor of the argument...CONGRATULATIONS!
oh and also if it looks like your opponent is about to give up, make sure to keep pushing them and dragging them back into the argument as many times as you can and try to get them to make very long rants while you just pretend to listen LOL
1. Have facts. 2. Walk away when the opponent spews nonsense and you'll both think the other is wrong.
Here's how you can win an argument, you compromise, you come to a conclusion you can both be happy with.
Got a minute in and it told me what I already know... appeal to emoion beats appeal to reason everytime.
Needed to learn this thank you
How to win an argument: WAR
Sorry but that is the only way. This has been know for a long time.
"Your wrong. I'm sorry about that but your simply just in correct."
Well prove that I'm wrong...
Sometimes I'm to nonchalant so I don't care about actually winning an argument. But I actually want to change that.

HEY MASTER DEBATERS IM CRYING
The moment you are arguementing, and the one you are arguementing whit spells something wrong.
Great Transition from videos.
when trum says "because you'd be in jail" = potential land slide
Persuasion is manipulation. To me, that's the wrong way to go about it. Rather than persuade, you should instead inform.
I believe in what's called the self debate. What this means is that you ignore emotional reactions to arguments and just bombard them with facts, figures, and numbers regardless of how they respond, and never personally attack. If you are thorough enough, they will recall that information and the brain will slowly correct itself. It's done using the same conflict resolution techniques that make excuses. Instead, those conflict resolutions will compromise the learned information with the information they already had.
The difference, though, is that the person can formulate a more logical opinion and really gain information, rather than just being manipulated into accepting someone's logic.
I know this because it's what I go through. I constantly think of what others have told me, and I try to apply that information in a logical way.
#1 Way to win is not to start in the first place!!! Speak softy and carry a big stick for everyone else...
Winning an argument with a smart person is hard, but winning an argument with a stupid person is literraly impossible.
Being right doesn't help winning an argument.
The way I do it is that I deliver the facts than listen as my opponent makes a fool at of themselves.
Needless to say it rarely works. Making it all the more surprising when it does.
Step 6. Once the subject is sufficiently calmed down, send in the SWAT team.
That's because so few people have the level of humility required to admit they're wrong. They're taught from day one that being right is the important part, but not how to be right by accepting when you're wrong and changing your mind. They're punished for being wrong (in the Prussian model government school system the U.S. and most western countries utilize), humiliated for it, and then expected to have some kind of humility about it when they are grown up? Yeah right.
Suppose if we're in argument an someone says “your small i dont want to argue with you” what greatest reply we can give to shut him/she off
In a perfect world, being calm and considerate will help you win an argument. In the real world, it only gives your opponent the idea that you're submissive and afraid of losing their approval.
My friend always thinks he wins an argument because i become silent after a short time. But really i havent changed my mind.
