conceding a valid point to someone in your outgroup feels weirdly similar to (very inexperienced!) meditation - there’s a distinct awareness/pause that happens

not a trader, but I wonder if switching your long/short bias feels the same 🤔

easy workaround here is to consider “charitable critics” part of your in group, but I don’t think it’s possible to  not feel like there’s a knee-jerk-reaction-inducing outgroup if you are building something opinionated

the true out group isn’t the one that disagrees with you, but the one that’s “not even wrong” 😄

there’s a system 1 / system 2 mental switch that happens, but also a subtle physical change…! 

“strong opinions, reasonably strongly held” 😅

I have one friend who is incredibly annoying during discussions but sometimes has "worldview change" level fair points and it's so hard to process them...

When it’s actually valid I try very hard to stop myself from saying “Yes… but xyz” because then it’s not truly conceding.
