Strong ideas positively delight in debate; weak ones avoid it at all costs. Use that as a guide when you assess what is likely true or false. Do the people who promote the ideas want to debate, try to debate, thrive in debate? Or do they silence and intimidate others?
I'm wondering how you determine a good idea (or "strong" idea) from a bad idea if not by the arguments made by its most convincing proponents.

By not grading them as strongest or weakest proponents Listening to every person suggesting every idea, cross checking it against other ideas, my own experiences, etc and building it into a gesalt People have biases. It's inescapable. So I just build my own version with mine

Right. So then, what if the world decides that your beliefs are bad, and therefore not worth debating?
