I made two visual guides that could be used to improve online discussions. These could be dropped into any conversation to (hopefully) make the discussion more productive.
I improved the lay-out of the old image and added a top layer for steelmanning. You can find my reasoning here and a link to the pdf-file of the image here.
Thanks for notifying me, it’s probably because the EA forum switched editors (and maybe also compression algorithm) a while back. I remember struggling with adding images to the forum in the beginning, and now it’s easy.
I looked at some old posts and it seems like those that used .png and .jpg still displayed them, so people don’t need to check up on their old posts. I looked at older comments and both .jpg and .png still work from three years back. I also found an .png in a comment from five years back. Hopefully this helps the devs with debugging, and maybe people should check on their .jpg comments from four years ago or older (mine were jpegs). I reuploaded them and they were visible in another browser, so I think it should be good now.
I just added the first of these images to the Forum’s About page. These are some of my favorite EA-produced infographics; thanks so much for making them!

The first is an update on Grahams hierarchy of disagreement

The second is a hierarchy of evidence:
I added a bottom layer for personal opinion. You can find the full image and pdf-file here.
Lastly I wanted to share the Toulmin method of argumentation, which is an excellent guide for a general pragmatic approach to arguments
Hi Bob,
The 1st 2 images are not loading for me.
The last image is fine.

Thanks, Bob! Yes, I can see the images now.

This is late but thanks for this Bob! these are really helpful. I’ve added them to the Google Doc as well.
