These are such good questions:
* Are you capable of entertaining real doubt about your beliefs? Or are you operating from a position of certainty?
* Can you articulate the evidence you would need to see in order to change your position? Or is your perspective unfalsifiable?
* Can you articulate your opponents perspective in a way that they recognize? Or are you straw-manning?
* Are you attacking ideas or attacking the people who hold them?
* Are you willing to cut off close relationships with people who disagree with you, particularly over small points of contention?
* Are you willing to use extraordinary means against people who disagree with you?
(These are the “discernment questions” Megan Phelps-Roper poses in “The Witch Trials of J. K. Rowling”. The podcast much recommended in entirety.)
