      But the truth is different for different people, unless supported by facts instead of supposition. That's where people go terribly wrong is stating supposition as fact.

    No clue who this guy is or how he got a speaking gig at all (let alone Tedx) but you absolutely SHOULD NOT engage folks in this way.
    This is not in any way how you 'win a debate' or 'how to debate'.
    He's missing the greater point. Social media discussions (arguments) are NOT about the person you are talking to. They are about the thousands and thousands of eyeballs on the debate. Win the hearts of the people watching, and there too, will be your victory.
    I literally laughed out loud for his last step (be open minded) when he CLEARLY was not open minded to the beliefs of 'Little Facebook Guy'.
    He just erased everything he said prior in showing that he couldn't adhere to his own rules of engagement.

    How do you ‘win’ a debate? It depends on the standards for victory are. If you’re goal is to convert others to your ideas, it involves a long suffering process of vetting the subject in your own mind, sharing it without fear, enduring ridicule of those who put very little thought into the topic, listening to criticism, and realizing ‘victory’ can be won only by the consent of others.
    If your goal is cheap ‘burns’ designed to give you a dopamine rush and self affirmation; hashtags, meme images, and other forms of comforting reductionism will do fine.

    This is not "how to debate" , period. This is "how a liberal debates". This so called 5 step process to success is actually what keeps many failing in political debates. Sure you may add a fact in the beginning, but you destroy that when you go towards emotion, implying feelings are more important than facts. And here's a little fact to prove that: When the guy had a great title "How to win a political debate" , he decided to destroy it all by changing the title to "How to debate", because he knows his way will almost never work. The reason to debate is to show why your argument is better, making you the winner of the ultimate competition. To win a formal discussion on a particular topic in a public meeting or legislative assembly, in which opposing arguments are put forward, is the real prize. The main point here is, people don't want to know how to debate (unless you haven't been through elementary school/ Or if you don't have a dictionary), but rather how to win one. That should have been the TED talk, not whatever *that* was.
    +not to mention the misleading title.

  • @tristramcoffin926
    @tristramcoffin926 4 года назад +3

    Step 5 should be Step 1. Unless you share with the person a mutual curiosity there is no reason for conversation. Even if you win, you lose bc the other hardens themselves in their resolve and maybe even becomes more bitter. Mostly though, the idea that we should all talk politics is such bad advice. Instead, invest in the person in absentia of politics. Sew into them. Bless them where they are willing to be blessed. Buy them a beer or a coffee. Talk about anything else. When the person wants to scrutinize ideas they will come to you and you will have a much more firm foundation of friendship to do as much. Last, don't talk politics at the holidays. This used to go without saying. It used to be deemed impolite. Family time is blessed by peace. Lording your politics over others desire for peace and fellowship only makes people recoil from your position.

Trump and Hillary play for the same team. They pretend to play for different teams. All "world leaders" are in cahoots. There's a one world government. A conjoined effort to manipulate and control the masses. War is really just population control. Most things you see and hear in the media is fake. Genocides are carried out to destroy true history.

    Im “Very” interested in politics, I love to pick peoples brain, and debate “fundamental” issue, and yes, I would love to do this in a respectful manner, but we always come to a roadblock, but, believe it or not, We are on the same side, left vs right, it doesn’t matter , wether you agree or not, we are on the same side.
    We have the same basic goals, example, we raise our kids, work, and want the best for our loved ones and friends, while having some fun along the way, then we grow old and pass along.
    Now there are specific issues that “try to” separate us, wether you agree with abortion or gerrymandering, those random issues somehow separate us, or gun laws. And thats the part where we all can agree on this issue, like seat belts in cars, or alarms in our house, it basically means the same thing, Once your formally educated on anything, we are able to debate any item about anything, if your formally or properly educated and informed on that specific issue you are debating, you can have a respectful debate, but, and heres the kicker, when propaganda and misinformation are involved, that one sided party member, arguing nonsense is where this “roadblock” is coming from, and it ruined friendly debates, and makes it impossible to have a decent political conversation. Sadly, this misinformation tactic was started years ago, with Roger Ailes. (Known for helping Richard Nixon, spreading lies and in later years pushing propaganda)

      I watched the whole video and paid attention the entire time. If the amount of disagreement (avoiding the nonsense that is anti-gay of course) in the comments is any indication it's that YOU didn't pay attention. You simply slapped whatever sticker of explanation on top of a, rather unintelligible, TEDx talk and are acting like it was half decent. His points are scattered and unclear. His general "purpose" to this talk is undefined. It's not my fault he decided to "wing it" and is getting blasted.

      Jack Bailey Every religión to have existed claims the others are lying. For a religion to truly have factual basis to stand on, it would need to make claims which are consistently profound and accurate. The Bible delivers profound and accurate statements at a rate I would imagine is worse than random. The clearest example would be the creation myth which no sane rational person can be expected to believe with knowledge of modern science. Furthermore, there are dozens of instances within the Bible where it contradicts itself and if you’d like me to just list several, ask me and I can.

  • @JetSetterSorority
    @JetSetterSorority 6 лет назад +3

    These ideas are so factually inaccurate I'm going to just point out my favorite 2 to save time.
    1. EMOTIONS are not the first thing you have after an outward experience. The first thing reaction you have is a THOUGHT. This thought then determines which emotion it is that you'll have. This guy doesn't like to think that a thought comes before an emotion because he prefers to believe that it's our emotions that form the base of our cognitive makeup, when in reality it's our thoughts which are.
    2. The BINDING FOUNDATIONS that are supposed to describe rightist leanings can apply to both ends of the political spectrum. Liberals are just as easily swayed by a political or kingly demigod that's enforced on their minds so by the oldest of fake news, propaganda. Fairness and reciprocity which he tries to say are purely liberal values, fall away when despite getting taxed an equal amount as the left, conservatives still stay more likely to give to charity than people of the same income on the left. They're more likely to prefer keeping their extra money for themselves than give it away. Also the in-group loyalty is far more exemplified by the left now than is to be found in the right, who believes in the supreme being of the individual rights for each person. Look at the parroting chants at a liberal rally to tell you that everyone there only ever feels accepted when they've first made their opinions to be in uniform synchronicity with their peers. Internal debate on the left hurts.
