Description: When you’re debating a topic with someone, it’s in your best interest to avoid flat-out telling someone they’re wrong. All it does is make the other person defensive, causing them to entrench themselves further in their beliefs. Instead, tell them all the ways they’re right, then guide them to realizing they’re wrong on their own. This approach to persuasive debate goes all the way back to the 17th century philosopher Blaise Pascal.
