STEELMANNING THREAD! (something to try now that we all have 280...) Rules: 1a. Post arguments/positions you'd like to see steeled. —or— 1b. Jump in and help steel the args/positions others have posted. 2. NO DEBATES. Only argue *in favor* of the point in question. 3. Be kind.

What’s the argument otherwise? Hate speech makes ppl feel bad, therefore it’s a violent attack?

Astrology and star-sign reading might actually be a valid lens on the world given fluctuation in food supply before rise of industrial farming?

Maybe off-topic(?), but I generally explain divination techniques by assuming that they allow the reader/diviner to project their intuition on a chaotic/meaningless tableau. Might be very effective, even if the process can't be taken literally.

There should be a steel man argument app/site so one can always reference the strongest version of an argfunent in an analysis/critique
