Since reading Lesswrong, I try to argue more. But not to win, rather, from the point of view that I am trying to understand how they think and to modify how they think. Lesswrong has allowed me to concede points that I don’t agree with, because I know that I can’t change their mind yet. It’s fun.

My experience tends to be in line with yours.
