      That’s where older people like myself have the advantage. Being past 50, we can always tell our opponents to slow down. It drives them nuts, and sometimes short circuits their brain, and gives extra time to think, of responses, counterpoints, etc. His fast talking, is also his weakness.

      Because Schadenfreude.
      The bad part of being wrong, is that it often makes the other side look right, or feel right, or be perceived as right.
      This is not necessarily true; and I have lost many debates, without being convinced that the other side is holistically right. But the winners often luxuriate in verbally out-maneuvering me, and I leave feeling no more convinced than I came in.
      So there's a fear of being wrong; a fear that if I am willing to give an opponent the high ground, he will just belittle me and my values from it for his own pleasure, rather than use that position to work to our benefit.

      Neutral?! Is it neutral to argue against the right of private property as the narrator does when he say socialist wouldn't see it that way? I barely got into this video and I was scratching my head to understand the narrator's contorsions. The presenter is anything but neutral. The narrator starts with the assumption that there is no gravity, no up, no down, and to make any assertion would be to state a bias. Fact and the truths they lay out are not bias. This is what I call untethered thought processes. If you untether all fact for from reality, then you can make any argument seem logical working in this created realm of fantasized reality.

      @@zerochaos1 Ironic! There is absolutely nothing wrong about presenting new arguments or angles from which you have to consider an issue at all! Otherwise, if all is scripted, then how different or professional really is any speaker, if they're doing nothing but regurgitating previously pointed out arguments?
      Amd for Zero, where is the wrong thing Ben is doing? Let me dissect (in the neutral sense, to just break down) your points. You're firstly assuming Ben's throwing fallacies and is fallen victim to cognitive biases a lot of the time, but his saving grace is how quickly he throws stuff at the opponent's wall and see what sticks. So firstly you're assuming he's using fallacies a lot of the time (which I'm not positively arguing against, but I seldom see him do those. You're more than welcome to point out where he did so.)
      It is only wrong logically to throw claims after claims that the opponent can't possibly address in the debate's time, and being segwayed into debunking and defending irrelevant points instead of addressing and debunking immediately relevant points to the debate's topic. Even then, overwhelming the audience with 10 issues when the debate can only handle 2 or 3 topics or subpoints at max, to me is a coward way of redherring and distracting the viewer's attention. And notice I specifically said "topics/isses" not "points", as I genuinely believe putting 15 arguments or points all immediately relevant to your case is absolutely fair game. I mean, it's a bit unfair given he can deliver 1.5-2 times the amount of info his opponent can, but is that a logical fallacy or a shameful tactic? I see it as much of a shameful tactic as someone knowing more than his opponent really. Speaking faster isn't that different from knowing a subject more deeply than your opponent if you think about it.
      Secondly, and where irony lies, you're yourself calling him names and for lack of a better word, poisoning the well on him. If the fallacy you were looking for was gish galloping, i.e., overwhelming the opponent with topics he can't address (like throwing accusations after the other that he can't recover from in the debate's time), then you yourself committed the unforgivable sin of using words in your favor.
      And before you call me a Ben-boi I'd like to inform you, I am an Arab myself, and regarding that thing going on I differ with DW and pretty much all of conservatives in this regard. So almost by definition I'd have to nitpick every flaw I can find of him and how twisted he is in his speeches. What I have is, gonna sound arrogant there, the intellectual courage to say he's right when he's right, and innocent of fallacies when he's innocent of those grave sins.
      I probably disagree with them on every single issue, albeit it slightly in most cases. But calling me a Ben fanboy ain't gonna cut it, especially given in his book I'm as antisemitic as one can possibly be.
      But when he's right, he's right.

Unless it's someting you and your son do for fun and understand you are debating as a type of game, I don't think trying to learn tactics to "beat" your son at debate is likely to accomplish any goal I would associate with parenting.

But people listen to them because they have a way of making a valid point. They have a way of challenging your thinking. People who hate them don't like their thinking to be challenged. They dont like people that dont just say words that affirm their beliefs and confirm their biases.

But if you really dig into his arguments and the "facts" he states, you quickly notice they are usually full of logical fallacies (strawmanning being one of the key words here) and factual misrepresentation. Sometimes his "facts" are even drawn from scientifically dishonest sources. When it comes to the issue of black crime, he is especially dishonest and misrepresents the data/statistics badly, and in this particular case I am not even sure whether it's deliberate or not. So no, he usually does not have "facts" to back up his claims, he is just a mediocre debater picking his battles with even worse debaters.

      @UserJWR 5 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      @@thibaultl1956 I like Sam Harris, because he always strives to be very clear about his definitions and is actually interested in what his opposition has to say. I can't really say a lot more about American debaters because I am from Germany and I am not that exposed to the political sphere, but in Germany I like Richard David Precht (political philosopher), because he is very easy to follow and his line of argumentation almost always makes perfect sense, at least to me.
      That being said, I don't think that debate is actually a good way to exchange ideas. Debating is usually about overwhelming your opponent with rhetorical tricks and thereby convincing an audience with rhetorical strength rather than argumentative strength. (There is a book called "How to be right" by Arthur Schopenhauer, which is filled with rhetorical tricks and logical fallacies and how to use them to win debates. You can just have it lying next to you when watching Shapiro and check off boxes, it's scary).Also, people can have good ideas but be extremely bad at debating, maybe because they can't come up with good responses on the spot or just because they don't like the spontaneous nature of debates. Or maybe they can't remember all of their arguments or get lost in between them. That doesn't mean, however, that they can't defend their idea or that their idea is bad.
      The best political philosophy emerged from a much more controlled way of discourse, namely through the exchange of (sometimes public) letters, where the disputants have much more time to think about their response and try to tear apart their opponent's argument. This makes it a lot harder to act in bad faith or to apply logical fallacies and get away with it. The modern equivalent would be the exchange of ideas through TH-cam videos. That's why I enjoy Amazing Atheist, ContraPoints, Shaun, TLDR etc much more than debate videos.

    If you want to WIN debates (I don't recommend this as a goal for any real adult conversation) then a secret is to WITHHOLD information.
    Like in that first clip of Ben; he doesn't state that his statistic is from the census until asked. This permits them to challenge the legitimacy of your data, making them appear weak when that challenge is instantly beaten. Them challenging your SOURCE and losing makes it seem as if your ARGUMENT was valid because it seems they had to challenge the data rather than the conclusion you drew FROM that data. It implies that they couldn't debate your conclusion, when they WOULD have simply challenged your conclusions if you had offered up your source as secure.
    Your trap to draw them into challenging your source rather than your conclusion makes your conclusion come off as a higher authority than it actually was.
    Manipulation is actually rather easy. ...it's not at all friendly or ethical or conducive to an honest adult conversation though, so please DON'T work this into your personality or daily conversational playbook.

      Also, unless you actually want to claim that the distribution of resources which results from the _complete absence_ of any regulation whatsoever is the only proper one, you are going to have to acknowledge that there is in fact a legitimate argument about what it means to "earn" money and what the moral implications of a particular situation is, however inconvenient this may be to your tribalist, ideological sense of superiority.

      @Marisa Nya That's actually a bold faced lie, if you listened to anything he's said on the matter in the last 2-3 years, he's changed his stance on this. Nice try though.

    I understand why he had to do it, but its still sad he has to continually say "I'm not saying I agree with Ben" or something of that nature because he knows the internet will turn it into him being right wing conservative just because he made a video on Ben Shapiro.
    Edit: I am brain dead from reading the comments under my own comment. Almost all of your comments have 0 to do with what I even said.

      its also funny how people in their particular political surrounding often state at which side they stand before they even say anything so as not be attacked by their "allies" for an unpopular opinion

    • @99tib
      @99tib 4 ปีที่แล้ว +87

      R Parker right that’s my point. He might dislike Ben Shapiro but still respects his debate skills. He keeps having to state that the video is not him agreeing with Ben bc so many people take the idea of complimenting ones skills as the same agreeing with the point of view.
