How should you talk to think better?
Being a natural non-dualist, I have been pondering this question. For instance, I know someone who almost always gives charismatic and “thunderous” answers to questions posed. These are typically smart answers, whether or not you agree, but I suspect over time that talk style makes this person somewhat stupider and more dogmatic.
I believe if you yell your answers all the time you are also likelier to become stupider. Might the same be true for perpetual whisperers? For a steady barking yelp?
Should you always sound polite and thoughtful and well-reasoned? Even if your private conversations? Maybe those people don’t generate enough new, disagreeable ideas. And don’t many of the smartest and most successful people you know get plain, flat out excited in many of their best intellectual moments?
