Debate in uni

I'm perfectly fine with spreading in certain competitions where the goal is to handle as many incoming arguments, evidence, etc., as possible and still come out on top. It takes a lot of skill, thought, and work to succeed. Aesthetically, though, it sucks so I wouldn't want it at all competitions so people can practice oratory and rhetoric, but I acknowledge that it has its place in certain tournaments.

Did you actually watch the full video? Both teams curse out loud multiple times. Both teams literally talk about fucking nonsense. One team farted and then started rapping. That same team also had one teammate interject onto another teammate's speech when he was not supposed to. Nobody is even dressed as if they respect the competition. This shit was an absolute train-wreck from every dimension possible.

What you were calling "spreading" was really just a brain malfunction IMO, because that wasn't even fast enough to be considered spreading at a tournament. Believe me, spreading is the least of that tournament's problems.

>engage in a competition to convince idiots of your side
>w-well I didn't know they were idiots
Brainlet.

logic is only feels

Reality models logic. There is auto logic.

Psychology models reality, in dreams, symbols, and even feels.

On one hand we have shortsighted people who don't realize that perhaps these people will go home and give the debate a second thought; thus getting a grip on their bearings.

The other side doesn't realize that reality is in the eye of the beholder and cannot wield rhetoric. They do not have the determination nor the aptitude to win a debate.

>In a real debate, you can't count on your opponent being civil.
I always demand it upfront and warn people that I don't waste my time arguing with narcissistic shitters, who can't bring themselves to let someone else finish a sentence, when their talking point is being eroded. Of course I have to also play by my own rules.
I can't stand most TV talk shows because of this, people in them talk over each other and turn up the volume until someone finally gives up. It's disgusting, a fucking circus and the audience loves it and learns fucking nothing.

>Whoosh
You can't avoid it forever. Idiots are coddled and spoon-fed. If this didn't happen, we wouldn't have fucking idiots to worry about.

wow, this is some really creative astroturfing

> out of focus

>2017
>debating

>idiots exist
That's quite the point you've made.
