Daniel Kahneman introduced a method of working with those you disagree with called adversarial collaboration.

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about what separates productive disagreement from point‑scoring. There are lessons in this approach for everyone. I explore it in this week’s post.

“One of the lessons I have learned from a long career is that controversy is a waste of effort. I take some pride in the fact that there is not one item in my bibliography that was written as an attack on someone else’s work, and I am convinced that the time I spent on a few occasions in reply–rejoinder exercises would have been better spent doing something else. Both as a participant and as a reader, I have been appalled by the absurdly competitive and adversarial nature of these exchanges, in which hardly anyone ever admits an error or acknowledges learning anything from the other. Doing angry science is a demeaning experience—I have always felt diminished by the sense of losing my objectivity when in point-scoring mode.”
