I’d probably choose either Intellectual Turing Tests or Steelmanning as one of mine. If you get into this habit then you gain the ability to learn much more from other people. (I wouldn’t go with Double Crux because this isn’t useful unless you get someone else to use it with you)
#2 is (almost) half of double crux! Stating/seeking your cruxes is still quite useful even if it is one-sided (or if you’re alone). It’s a combination of asking how you could be wrong and making sure that beliefs pay rent in anticipated experiences.
Yeah—I picked that specifically out of a desire to 80⁄20 the double crux maneuver, and a sense that it was easier to ask this hypothetical high schooler to do something that would confer (scientific) virtue upon themselves than to insist that they assume virtue (good faith) on the part of their ideological opponents.
Yeah, I agree ITTs and Steelmanning are very high up there. One of those almost certainly would’ve been sixth for me, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see others having them in the top 5.
