I have a way of talking with people where when someone says something I disagree with, and I sense they have an ego, I don’t outright disagree with them. Instead I start asking them a lot of questions about their stance, getting them to flush out what it is that they actually believe. This is much easier to do when you are still “on the same side”, as you haven’t clashed with their ego by telling them they’re wrong. From my experience, less biases are triggered when one is explaining something to someone who they think is curious, vs someone who they think is “out to get them”.
