Foundation of the concept of 'Steel-manning'.
I'd like to see this idea more wide-spread. Heck, i'd make it mandatory for positions of trust. Ability to see both sides.
Absolutely. It would be amazing to see political debates (and discourse generally) where they're able to steelman each other's position and interact in good faith. That would have a profound effect on our democracy.
Instead we get strawmen, soundbites and kayfabe. Somehow we've got to get away from this.
