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 wouldn't practice apathy

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?

Is that his literal name on YouTube?

and then when Sargon debated with him, he had a hissy fit and DMCAs his second channel for putting clips of the debate on it.

that or OmniDestiny

Yeah.

😮
