Dialectical Mapping & Steelmanning helps you escape false binary choices by:

This moves debates from "A vs B" to "here's the best of both, here's what we sacrifice, here's why it's worth it."

Trigger phrases: "steelman", "thesis-antithesis-synthesis", "Hegelian dialectic", "false dichotomy", "third way", "both sides have a point", "transcend the debate", "resolve the tension"

Use when debates are trapped in false dichotomies, polarized positions need charitable interpretation, tradeoffs are obscured by binary framing, synthesis beyond 'pick one side' is needed, or when users mention steelman arguments, thesis-antithesis-synthesis, Hegelian dialectic, third way solutions, or resolving seemingly opposed principles.
