The ideological turing test

Abstract

Liberals understand conservative thought more accurately than conservatives understand liberal thought. This is a symptom of objectivity and wisdom because someone who can explain a position that they don’t necessarily agree with understands it better than someone who cannot. If someone can explain a position that they don’t agree with and end up agreeing with it, that position is likely more correct. This is called passing the “ideological Turing test.” Liberals can more accurately explain conservative thought than conservatives can explain liberal thought. This can be tested and has been challenged. – AI-generated abstract.
