I think Medhi Hasan is among the best debaters alive, but I think he’s 100% wrong on his religious views.

Generally I’m a fan of Oxford style debates, such as Intelligence Squared.

Kirk was a rapid-fire debater who made all of his content to go viral. I don’t see much value in that style, because it steamrolls so much important nuance.


This isn't a valid accusation. I believe "both sidesism" has cursed Americans into locked thinking patterns where they can never develop, because they have to spend an eternity giving sober consideration to endless wrong-headed positions.

My viewpoints don't align with flat earthers, and also I criticize their unscientific methods.
