I just listened to the bitcoin standard podcast with guest Michael Saylor and it showed me how difficult it is to communicate effectively. Both Saif and Micheal are highly intelligent guys and me as a listener could understand easily were each of them was coming from, but as they debated it became clear to me that they just didn’t want to listen to what the other guy was saying. We need to really be careful not to let our biases get the better of us and listen. Think scientifically and technically from first principles and admit if you don’t understand something.
