Highlights

Is there a better way to start your day than telling an author why they’re wrong? Doubt it. Today, we tackled Strengthen and Weaken questions. By reading with purpose and translating each sentence into plain English, we were ready to roll our eyes at the author’s conclusion and tell them exactly why it doesn’t hold up. The star of the show? Our predictions. We poked holes in the argument first, then used those same objections to guide our predictions. Weaken question? Easy—we already know what makes you look silly. Strengthen? No problem—we’ll defend your weak spots and even toss in an offensive strengthener so we're fully prepared. Turns out, when you read carefully and think critically, beating bad arguments becomes the most satisfying part of your day.
