Golden rule

CLAIM + BECAUSE + REASON = ARGUMENT

A claim is what you think. A reason is why. Without the reason, it is only a wish.

Super Thinker’s Promise

I will give reasons, not just wishes.
I will listen fairly before I disagree.
I will look for sneaky tricks — in others and in myself.
I will change my mind when better reasons appear.
