      Hanlons razor says "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity". I'd suggest a variation on it.

      Never attribute to intellectual dishonesty that which is adequately explained by mistake.

      I see this a lot. 'You're only saying that because you're motivated by this.' Better to assume people are sincere but mistaken & explain why

      Assuming dishonesty wrongly loses an opportunity to change minds. Assuming sincerity wrongly wastes only a little time. Gullibility>cynicism

      In the same way, I would draw a careful distinction between hypocrisy & inconsistency. The first is knowing, the second might not be.

      This might be a semantic quibble but I know I'd respond more positively to being told I'm being inconsistent than being told I'm a hypocrite

      Because I know I'm not a hypocrite. I absolutely think I am being consistent. I also know I have been mistaken about that at times.

      If you'd speak with @SamHarrisOrg on his podcast, what would you think to be the most likely ideas of disagreement?

      I keep thinking I disagree with Sam Harris but on reading his rationale, I find I don't. Guns, maybe?

          What made you bring him up? Do you disagree with him on many issues?

          I find you both very well articulated and thoughtful, which made me wonder about whether your viewpoints would align on all kinds of topics

          Ah, thank you! They largely have done so so far tho I expect if I listened to all his podcasts, there'd be something I disagreed about!

          Need not always disagree in podcasts, right? Would also be nice to just discuss certain topics.

          Agreed, I increasingly prefer human dialogue over 140 chars debate.
