.@robinhanson Both inferior to persuading moderates to marginally revise their ideal points in your direction, no?

@bryan_caplan To win moderates, you want to see things from their point of view, and not just declare what you'd do if king. I.e.,compromise

.@robinhanson Presenting evidence and arguments persuasive to people who disagree with you != compromise.

@bryan_caplan Figuring out what would give other people what they want *is* compromise, compared to figuring out what you'd want.

@robinhanson @bryan_caplan Compromise is a negative Overton window.

@NickSzabo4 @bryan_caplan You are saying that compromise isn't politically feasible?!

@robinhanson @bryan_caplan No, I'm saying unless you're directly negotiating actual legal code, it's generally a bad political strategy.

@NickSzabo4 @bryan_caplan No one but a few leaders should think about compromise? Everyone else should only discuss desires? Implausible.
