Wage Peace tip #1

Having had a new found fascination with debating over the last year or so I have come to understand, naturally, what it is all about. Which is not what is should be. After watching, being a little confused, re-watching and critiquing many videos of debate on a diverse scale of topics one starts to notice a trend. One that is natural in life, though it need not be, but especially when it comes to professionals of premisses, instigators of inquiry, doctorates of discourse, sultans of science and or MVP's of Philosophy. Which is a full if not reinforced barrier to openness. Debates are sometimes, if not often, judged on a point scale much like fighting, intellectual judo so to speak. But when it comes to debating it should actually resemble a training match. One in which the object is to build up the other person and help them fill in their gaps. Realizing that we should be on the same team "Team Truth" and what can't be explained or known for certain than must, in cases of difference, acknowledge and respected. If you go into the round with the perception of a winner and looser than both ultimately loose. The only way for both parties to win is for both to be willing to loose.
