RE: It Should Be Normal To Not Have An Opinion About Important Issues

in #ideas7 years ago

I'm an opinionated person, but sometimes I feel like "I don't know" is the most provocative thing to say. It feels like I'm the only person on Twitter who doesn't have an opinion about Kanye's recent tweets. Scott Adams, the Dilbert cartoonist, used to have a provocative style of being neutral on his blog before he became a Trump cheerleader.

This reminded me of a somewhat related exercise from philosopher David Chapman: Can you argue convincingly in the language of your political opponents?
