Argument Gym trains the hardest part of intellectual humility: staying precise when your own view is under pressure. You start with a claim, write your position, and then face a deliberately strong counterargument instead of a caricature.
The mode is not debate for points. It measures whether you can engage the best version of the opposing case, preserve what remains true in your original position, and update only as far as the evidence requires.
This trains
Dialectical updating
The ability to steelman an opposing view, identify the real pressure it applies, and revise your stance without collapsing into defensiveness or false balance.
How a session feels
4 steps, 3–5 minutes. Repeat until the feedback starts shaping your instincts.

- 4
Score the update
Feedback evaluates the quality of your steelmanning, update, and intellectual honesty.
