How to DESTROY Anyone in an Argument
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2024
- Philosophers are often thought of as truth-seekers, but often people are more interested in the mucky world of simple debate, and there is a sardonic, sarcastic essay by Schopenhauer that can help us out here - "On the Art of Being Right". In here he compiles a series of tactics used (often highly dishonestly) to secure victory in an argument even when one is misinformed, or just downright wrong. And this is just what we will look at today, so that we can learn how to destroy anyone in an argument. And also, why we probably shouldn't

This is why I dislike public debates, as they seem to always be doing these kinds of things. It's never about finding some kind of truth, it's to thrash your opponent and fool the audience into "your truth".
why is it just about public debates why not debates in general ? why not with words in general ?
@@TWIlktitbliktvim-ty7td because of I'm having a discussion with a friend, there's no audience that we're trying to convince we're right to. A lot of these tactics are meant to steamroll your opponent, and have the audience think you're right, not actually convince the second party of anything. So these tactics are a lot more prevalent when there's an audience to convince.
And just, if you're watching a debate, it's a public debate, if it was a private debate, you wouldn't be seeing it. The aforementioned discussion with a friend would be private, but if it was recorded and made public, then it's public.
@@nunote2362 damn that was a good reply
@@nunote2362 Than you can convince your friend using these tricks and making your friend the "audience"
@@Vinos-yt that doesn't work, because these tactics are quite offensive to the second party. You will not be convincing anyone by asking them pointless questions and not letting them answer, or refusing to listen to their answers.
That like saying I'll convince them by plugging my ears and yelling loudly. That's just not how these tactics work, and to say so shows a, frankly staggering lack of understanding of their functionality.
See at the end there I used the idea of using larger words to sound smarter and more official, and some people reading may have agreed with me on just that, but all it would've done was make out conversation confrontational, and never would've convinced you. Rather it would make your dog your heels in harder because it's condescending.
These strategies are not to convince your opponent, and they never will. They are strictly to make you look like you won to a third party, by shutting down your oppositions ability to make any point that doesn't serve you. If that's how you talk with your friends, then you probably won't have them for long.
the video title should be How to gaslight and get away with it
fr. I want a video on how to fight against somebody using these tactics. It pisses me off when people win arguments without any actual evidence and instead just berate you until you succede.
@@evanwillett1635 that's basically how many arguments work buddy just get over it and focus on something else productive

Basically, this guy could title the video, "Lying Congressional Style", and be right on the mark.
The backup title for this video was "the art of dishonesty" but I thought it was a bit abstract
I honestly felt a bit misled by current title. Usually just telling true statements wins anything, you dont really need much else. "The art of dishonesty" feels better.
@@morowenidi4621 If true statements won every argument, the various crises within the U.S would have been delt with, instead of sending money to fight foreign wars....one of which is already lost but no one wants to admit.
@@unsolicitedadvice9198A Politicians guide to versions of truth.
@@morowenidi4621 a proverb in my country goes like "a brilliant lie is better than unorganized truth"
1. Form a strong argument (the hard part). Understand burden of proof.
2. Memorize all fallacies.
3. Point out any fallacies used by opponent.
4. Focus the conversation; don’t let them divert to another topic. Call them out when they’re being disingenuous. Put them on the spot.
Follow those steps and your opponent is forced to argue on merit. Sprinkle some charisma and theatrics, and you won’t have any issues. Persuasion Tactics don’t work when someone not only knows them but also has the better argument. It’s why no amount of cheap tricks will get a flat earther to win a debate. 😉
You forget that these people never lose arguments either. They can always just invent a reason for being correct or decide that you're stupid for not understanding their arguments no matter how vague or filled with holes they are.

My brain went straight to: "I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid," (Captain Jack Sparrow).
I agree with this quote!!
Ain't that the truth? 😉
People need to realise that debates are not about winning, they’re about learning.
Edit: People in the replies have made me realise that it actually depends on the situation, and that's true. In court, for example, it is about winning. Thank you for correcting me. :)
What? Can you explain more of this to me?
I kinda understand debate is not to win but understand huh. Maybe understand the other person's perspective perhaps? And learn from it?
Nah, that would imply I give a shit for their opinion, which I dont.
i learned that my debate opponent fighter has an AK-47 on his pocket
Sometimes it's about learning how utterly dumb the other person really is. (On a more serious note, for a debate actually be about learning it should require both parties have at least similar knowledge over the issue and at that point it's mostly about the perspective)
true, from experience @@sesaarinen
Thank you for this,those kids in preschool didnt stand a chance
The funny thing is, I’ve used one simple Japanese Philosophy Trick to win just about every argument I’ve ever had, which makes most of this advice redundant.
“The best weapon you have is your enemies/(opponents).”
For example, if someone insults you, riff off of their insult, rephrase it a bit differently, and throw it back at them. That is because psychologically they are insulting you the way they think will hurt you, but indirectly revealing what types of insults hurt them. Thus why you should never be the first to throw insults.
In debate, you have their presented ideas, and you can either counter what they are saying, you already have their stance, just counter it with either historical facts, or present a time they contradicted themselves. Or ask questions about what they said.
Remember, if you can answer their questions, but they can’t answer yours in return, you’re actually the one winning.
I will steal your tactics 👍
That introduction was genuinely the funniest one minute of my life omg😭😭😭
Haha! Thank you!

Confidence stills plays a huge role in debate, being able to stand in front and say all the bullshit with a straight face makes for a more compelling argument
Those kindergarteners dont stand a chance.
How to win every argument: the use and abuse of logic by Madsen Pirie is a great quick read that outlines the different types of fallacies used in debate. Just being able to recognize a fallacy when it’s being used helps tremendously.
Ah I will have to give it a read!
Thx
I learned fallacies in 7th grade as apart of my school, i can confirm learning fallacies is useful for arguing
@@ExistingSmiles Or to use the fallacies as a leverage to assert their lack of knowledge to the "audience", debate isn't only about winning a point it's also convincing third parties about your point
I know a few logical fallacies but I haven't any means of refuting them without seeming incompetent. Do you, perhaps, know any?
This really shows how a debate is a very unefficient form of communication and should be avoided except for entertainement purposes.

Never do this kind of things in debate.
But still watch to aware of these things to know what your opponent exactly doing so you have a idea to correct him/her.
Good to see the comments are aware that argument and discussion should strive for learning and not “winning”, everyone should be aware of these tactics though to avoid doing them. Or being frustrated when encountered with someone disingenuous.
Nah, I'd win
You have no idea how much I love your videos, I’m a university student and every single day I watch your videos, my classmates find it hard to understand what you’re saying because first of all English isn’t our first language, second u mostly talk about Dostoevsky & they don’t know him , so I have to translate what you’re saying and give em information about Dostoevsky etc but they really enjoy watching your videos. Me and some girls in my class sit together and play your videos in morning and during lunch break .
I want to be just like you sir , I want to gain more and more knowledge about philosophy and other things , even though im a zoology major student but I have really great interest in literature and philosophy. And one more thing you truely deserve millions of subscribers . Much love, pls keep posting more and more videos , you’re an inspiration ❤

"What a smart and handsome man, I wish my boyfriend were like him" - I really died of laughter for a few moments! Nice one mate!😂
Edit: "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit!" - OMG🤣
"if you cant dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit" - quote of the century
A great reminder is that, just because your opponent is very confident that they’re right and haven’t admitted to being wrong, doesn’t mean you’re wrong. People are close minded in arguments and debates, what matters more is you know for a fact you destroyed that person in front of everyone and the audience will let you know that.
"You're essentially forcing their minds to continuously jump from issue to issue, never letting them rest long enough to form a coherent thought."
As someone that has adhd, all i can say that i have been traininv myself for this exact thing.
Problem is when your opponent has seen this video too!!!
a person that uses all these techniques isn't someone worth arguing with
It's nice to know where those insta ppl I've been arguing with learned from 😂 Now I can do the same for them (:
At the end of the day, arguing isn't about logic, it's about winning the sayed argument. Even if it's with these outrageous "tips"
isnt argument and debate a different thing?
I would pay to watch two people who follow these principles argue
The grammar, deep voice, and vocabulary makes me attracted to this video like a magnet
He is right on the money. I used to train ppl both in collegiate debating and real life debating. Schopenhauers tricks work in both settings, even if the collegiate debating world tries to count only logic and sound reasoning. A debate is the proces of impressing your 'rightness' unto the audience, not to defeat your opponents logic. Ware those who forget this
Thankyou for your videos, they are my favourite videos on youtube. Not only are you clear and concise but you deliver it in a way that it is intriguing and a joy to listen to.
So thankyou good sir! We need more creators with your enthusiasm on the subjects they speak of.

I've read this book of Shopenhauer and i was wandering if he talked about this problem precisely you did a great job synthesizing his book
Yea thers someone in my uni like that. I'm great at logical good faith or at the very least educated deabting, was in the debate team for my school for a long while. But dude literally does every single thing listed in this video. I felt like I was just being crazy or something but Holly shit I'm starting to think I might not be

Not going to lie, given the current level of discourse about, well, everything... I was apprehensive about the title, thankfully the description has relieved me of the majority of those concerns, and now to enjoy another thorough, detailed philosophy analysis!
Fucking love the raw sarcasm in this. Subbed
Good to know so you can point them out, but the point of argument/debate isn't to win, it's to seek the truth. We are surrounded by what is real at the end of the day.
Most ideas are wrong, with a middle ground civil approach, you can both leave better people.

If you have a short attention span like most of us, here’s the basics:
Step 1: “so what your saying is…(insert outlandish/exaggerated version of opponents argument)”
Step two: make a sensible argument when they aren’t looking and once they do say “get a load of this guy, he wasn’t paying attention” or “get a load of this guy, he doesn’t think (insert sensible comment here)”
Step three: flood them with questions so they get mentally drained
Step four: say the downsides to make them look evil
Step five: say something that isn’t true but also say it’s “common sense”
Step six: interrupt the person to make them look foolish later
Step seven: make the opponent angry so they look foolish
Step eight: say sentences that are too fancy or complicated like “why shall I debate with this foolish looking person?”
Step 9: basically a bit more logical normal fighting
Step 10: the lessons of deceit
Step 9 and 10 are convoluted (and have the actual numeral symbols) because you’ll have to watch those yourself. It’s good for him and your attention span. Anyways bye bye!

I've got to admit, as much as it pains me to admit, I've been guilty of falling into this habit. From my recollection it seems to be mostly around topics I have a personal/vested interest in, usually surrounding human rights, so I can see how I could fall into this habit. Thank you for raising this in a way that allows for a detached, objective analysis, without assigning blame or guilt. Assuming the persona of "debate bro" really helped to convey your points clearly, and illustrate how, where and why they can go wrong. The various iterations of the "puppy dilemma" was a fantastic comparison to highlight how absurd yet also on the face of it logical-seeming these arguments can be.
This is one of my favourite of your vids so far! I just hope you don't burn yourself out with all the content you're creating lately!
But there is no way to say where the "truth" is especially around such topics as human rights. The more personal/emotional interest in any topic, the more the "truth" is just rationalization of your (mostly subconsciouss) emotional preference. And one's smart brain is always able to find "logical" arguments, which persuade the one foremost.
And it is also very human to use "unlogical"/emotional arguments in such a debate. After all, we are no AI (yet).
Moreover, what's good about "winning" an argument by fair and logical means, when the real reality does not function like this by no means?
@@alena-qu9vj I'm not sure that's an accurate statement. There are SOME truths to the universe, and when we discuss human rights, we are talking within a framework of humanity which limits the scope, again allowing much more ability to define the parameters. Human rights are a function of a human society, they are rights that come about as part of existing within a society.
Existing within a society inherently will be different to not existing within a society, and as such any distinction would always be man-made (whether conscious or unconscious), by virtue of the society needing to be manmade.
I think you're misconstruing 'truth' with 'morality' which ironically, is essentially in my opinion, the issue with people who use these types of 'debate' and where the illogical premises tend to begin. Truth exists outside of morality.
@@kezia8027 Sorry, but I think it is you who misconstruct truth with morality.
While I agree that there is a universal „truth“ out there in the realm of ideas, for us material people living in a relative dualistic world, this ideal truth is only accessible via our subjective indivdual perception, which differs in every individual according to their character and experience. There is no universaly approved consensus on which this universal „truth“ may be - thats why all those passionate debates. I hope you do not believe or even preach that it is YOU who knows the truth.
Any „charter“ of human rights is just a virtual construct having no justification in the real life, where it is always the powerfull ones who force their rules on the weak.
There is a general sense of morality - specific to different societies and times, and laws which are here for imposing this morality on society - also conforming to respective societies.
Sorry, „human rights“ today are often just a pretext for the powerfull to force their rules on people or countries, while pursuing their own very selfish goals.
@@alena-qu9vj No worries, I can see you have a very high opinion of yourself, and an inability to communicate your thoughts concisely which often seems to coincide with an egoistic confidence in the self and the very points you fail to adequately explain or justify.
I think many who get into philosophical discussions, me included, forget what is actually practical and useful to the world.
What's a construct, ultimate truth, morality, etc. can be debated all day long. People have dedicated their lives to it. And like the OP said, human suffering can really fuel those debates. And that's understandable. Humans naturally prefer not to suffer...
But, what is useful to a human? The physical power that "allows" you to disregard the growing consequences of suffering? The social power to convince people what is "necessary" suffering? Without getting into specifics, certain powers that are showing a deep lack of regard for human suffering have now (if you go outside to see) lost nearly all their social power globally. This is leading to a decline in their physical power. That's measurable. And it has been measured and observed with previous societies as well.
So again, what's a useful discussion then? The relationships between forms of power, human suffering, etc.? Or what are constructs, truths, morality, etc.? To me, at least, one is more measurable than the next.
This is why when people ask me what I consider the most useful sub-field of philosophy, I tell them analytical philosophy. It's at least measurable and usable. Otherwise, we end up debating in the clouds with our eyes closed, at least that's been my experience through the decades.
⚠️ Debates are for the ignorants.
You don't debate those with opinions.
You give them Knowledge.
"Destroy"... is what teenagers aim for.
You don't destroy anyone.
You educate them with love.
Quit ego tripping and humble yourself.

Thank you!
That interrup.. was so good haha
Your channel's name is just spot on! 😂
Thank you. Now, as someone that I view as logical, I now know how to deal with these kinds of people.
Step 1: exaggerate their point
Step 2: make the most sturdy point you can, and then use it as a trojan horse.
Step 3: question them in a quick, but patient timing to have them form a response before needing to throw it out, if they do throw out a response, it might be a contradiction. Never forget the contradiction
Step 4: highlight only the best parts in your title, and act like you understand the other part of the argument. Do vice versa with their title.
Step 5: say something wrong, but basic that forces your opponent to talk very complicated about the counter point, use the complicated counter argument to make it seem like they are digging to the core of the earth for a chance of a counter argument to your “common sense”
Step 6. Dont let them finish their thoughts
Step 7. Anger your opponent, which makes them look unreasonable
Step 8. Look smart to make yourself more believable
Step 9. *Misc
Step 10. Make your opponent look like *they* only want to win
wow didnt even realize it was 25 minutes long very entertaining and full of forbidden knowledge i will very much use
Finally, a video worth learning from.
