The Chomsky-Ali G debate is also worth watching. For other reasons perhaps.

There are better and worse debates but I question the validity of an argument about the quality of debates of someone who likely got shot for a political argument.

At least his argument seemed to hit some spot. (I don't know a single one, didn't even know the victim).



Getting killed over politics is not an index for "debate" quality. Giving someone such credit because they died is nonsense.
