The Basics of Rationalist Discourse is a post on LessWrong that attempts to outline ten things that exemplify good discussion norms among rationalists. Today we're going to do three things: First, read the list together. Second, look at a few selected online argument threads, to see if we can exemplify what guideline the thread is notably lacking in. Third, to have some debates ourselves in small groups where two people try and argue some point, and a spotter helps them keep to good norms.
The goal is to raise the discourse waterline, at least within our group.
