Again, saying and doing are two entirely different things.
technically, debates aren't about truth, they are about convincing the audience.
Humans may say one thing, but do another entirely.
It's a good trait to be able to follow up.
that makes them a hipocrite
Plus, many debates will inevitably come down to "who has more studies and statistics behind their argument", rather than who has the best philosophy and reasoning.
Emotions are damaging to intellectual stability, Revolver
Sir Oswald Mosley a great debater and orator
thats why you need to be able to control your emotions
In the moment, you may say or do something you didn't intend on doing
>just control your emotions
Saying and doing.
In the moment, it's not so easy for some people.
YOU NEED DISCIPLINE!
It's a comfortable position to say that while calm. Another entirely while frustrated and not thinking clearly.
And again, debate is a practiced skill, meaning some people will just be naturally better at it than others.
It's a process.
there are ways to control your emotions, I understand that its harder for some people, but you can do it if you follow a methodology like Buddhism for example.
especially when your opponent is actively trying to disrupt your emotional state and obfuscate what they're saying
you have to essentially learn how not to care
I've went down that road
thats not what I mean
Can I jump rope without a rope?
Destiny isn't a good debater, he just takes easy targets
The left lose most debates because it’s all fueled by emotion.
That was the joke, sorry. lol
I don't believe in destiny personally. I just believe in changeable circumstances.
when he comes across someone with a coherent position, he just ends up going "WaAaAhT!?!?"
@Enigmus destiny is a YouTuber.
oh
...
He's not a *bad* debator, but debates with him typically end up getting mired in definitions and descriptions.
:c
I...
yeah
That was a blunder, lol.
like I said, he doesn't debate with good opponents, he just gets random people on twitter and pulls them into a debate.
He debated Sargon.
And Sargon subsequently pasted him.
Verbally speaking.
Destiny... who is that?
