The Attentive Speaking Method
Question
Hi Michi, I saw that you were a guest on the Brothers in Disagreement podcast a few weeks ago. I’m at the beginning of the video, and the host said that he uses the attentive speaking method in debates, meaning that he always lets his opponent interrupt him.
What do you think of that method? (To me it seems completely ridiculous—a “debate” where each person can interrupt the other at any moment is a zoo.)
Answer
Until we try it, we won’t know.
Discussion on Answer
I still don’t have one.
I saw that several episodes of the podcast have already come out in which you tried the method. What’s your impression of it?
