Here's another potentially helpful frame you may might want to add to the list of collaborative truth-seeking techniques:
(Steelmanning is already on the technique list:

A suggestion° for after reading the article: Asking yourself:
Where and how can you apply this to your life? With which people, in which situations, on what topics does communication tend get duel-y?
You can make trigger-action plans for those situations:
[If I'm talking with my mum and the concepts science and/or esoterism come up] → [then become very mindful and careful re her and my emotions, tone etc. – strive for collaborative truth-seeking instead of arguing.]
° Very much in the spirit of Brienne's cognitive trigger-action plan
[If something feels key to advancing your art as a rationalist] → [stop, drop, and trigger-action plan.]
Huh, where does it say that? (Full-text search on this page for 50 only returns this comment thread.)
