When a man starts
explaining a concept you already told him you understand,
instead of saying “I know” over and over until you die, try one of these:

  • Ok, which aspect is confusing you?
  • It seems like
    you have the basics down; Would you like me to recommend some good articles so you can get a more nuanced understanding?
  • So did
    you have a specific question, or do you just want a more in depth
    explanation?

I’ve also had some good results with, “Wait, stop. It sounds like you’re disagreeing with me, but nothing you’ve said has contradicted anything in my initial argument. What, precisely, are you disagreeing with?”
