Cross Examined Life episodes

  • 062 - Should Free Speech be Unlimited Online?
    Dan defends: Online Platforms should moderate and control content posted by their users.
    PRACTICAL TAKEAWAY TIPS:
    1. Even when your conversation partner describes the popular view, ask them to be specific about their opinion and perspective, so that you’re engaging with their beliefs, rather than their observation of the beliefs of others.
    2. Don’t lose your sense of curiosity or wonder, even in difficult conversations. Continue asking WHY and for reasons behind the explanation, until you believe your conversation partner has described why they find something to be helpful or unhelpful.

  • 058 - Should We Donate to Animal Related Charities?
    Brendan defends: No one should donate to animal-related charities
    PRACTICAL TAKEAWAY TIPS:
    1. As you state your support or lack of support for conversation partner’s hypothetical scenarios, state your position, but don’t be afraid to offer the reason for and context about your position.
    2. If you reference a body of knowledge outside the conversation, summarize what it teaches before moving on, so that your conversation partner feels included and is able to understand your points following your reference to those learnings.

  • 056 - [DEBATE] Will Bitcoin Last or Is it a Fad?
    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.

  • BONUS - What Does It Mean to be a Racist?
    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.
