Ideological Turing test
|
|
An ideological Turing test (or political Turing test or religious Turing test) checks whether a political or ideological partisan correctly understands the arguments of his or her intellectual adversaries. The partisan is invited to answer questions or write an essay posing as his opposite number; if neutral judges cannot tell the difference between the partisan's answers and the answers of the opposite number, the candidate is judged to correctly understand the opposing side. The Ideological Turing test is so named as to evoke the Turing test, a test whereby a machine is required to fool a neutral judge into thinking that it is human. History The term was first coined by Bryan Caplan in 2011 |
