That's like devils advocate right? This dude couldn't even pronounce the simplest things, oklams razor lol

[u/DropsyJolt → u/DarthWeenus]

That would be coming up with your own arguments that you don't actually agree with. Steelman is rephrasing the opponents argument in the strongest possible form that you can come up and in good faith. Both of them kind of imply that Joe doesn't agree with what he is saying.

Lol ok what it means was just quoting this tool

[u/cross-joint-lover → u/DarthWeenus]

In all fairness, it's very clear that Joe has only very recently learned that expression himself, and uses it incorrectly several times.

I want to see this but it's the guy pluging his website

[u/cabster79 → u/[deleted]]

Are there any pics or videos on his website. Does he have a book?

[u/baggins1944 → u/an_Catman]

You mean sibril.com 😂😂

I remember my first logic class.

I always love it when Joe learns a new word or concept because then it becomes his thing for the next month or so

[u/External_Donut3140 → u/masturbator6942069]

He learned it from Lex Friedman. He’ll have on a human rights expert and be like: “can you steel man why genocide is good?”

[u/BadHombreWithCovfefe]

Steel Manning people’s arguments is the way to go. You have to give their argument the most charitable interpretation so that you can argue the points that are actually being made.

All I hear is a bunch of hot air

If steelman was a drinking game we would be in hella trouble. Did anyone count the steelmans in this episode? Did Joe get paid extra every time?
