Debating - Whats wrong with that?

in #ideas7 years ago

Lets debate! I have very good friends who tell me they do not like to debate or they do not like to be confrontational. These same people seem to do just that on FB or other social media all the time. The thing about debating or being confrontational on social media it is all text. It is very difficult to talk, debate or share ideas with only text and not a face to face conversation. So friends lets talk lets debate, lets share ideas in real life.

The point of a debate is not for either party to win or lose but for discovering the truth. Fundamentally the purpose of a debate is for ideas to be tested against rigorous, rational and empirical counter evidence. – Stefan Molyneux

Great Post! I have posted several articles and comments expressing a similar position. Totally agree with the goal of a healthy debate is to determine truth and possibly find common ground. At the end of the day, we may still disagree with each other, and that is acceptable, at least we are exposed to different perspectives.
