Have you tried this? It was many years ago, but I was impressed. Of course, that was before I found single-malt...

To topic: I'm reluctant to discuss things like, for example, my opinion of SD's startlingly bold move in his opening statement, the lack of a perspective view of the butterfly-ballot, or other particular issues of ongoing debates. Because, egotistically, I'd worry that those in the debate would read, and think "hmm, yes, maybe I should mention that", and my comments would be an undue/unfair influence. Or I'd like to mention a particularly strong point that was made, but then the other side would know (if they weren't already aware) that they might need to be strong on a counter to that, because that's what people would notice.

It's a little bit of a conflict of interest, is all. For example, with regard to Semper's suggestion on the 'modcast', of ongoing debate commentary. Do we really want to play to the audience (such as it is), blow by blow? That would reward the more demagogic, less complex arguments. Not the best thing, imho.

That's actually a very good and fair point.
Perhaps when the whole round is finished we can all revisit our favorite posts and arguments of the round.

I feel terrible for you though. I'm sure you'd love to be debating, at least some of the time. Isn't there a way to have someone else moderate every once in a while so you can play too?

ps. before some smarty pants jumps in, no this is not a challenge.

It's in the works..

And I glad you decided to stipulate that you weren't challenging me...I wouldn't think that you would want a loss so soon in your career...

Yes, I do have an ego...

Hum.

I will tell you what I tell my wife every day:

"you're right, I am sorry, it's my fault"

Keeps things quite and safe at home.

To tell you the truth, even though we fight as opponents, the real fight is actually one of reason itself. Like has been pointed before, the real victory is in finding previously unexplored thoughts and paradigms within one's own intellect. It is a game vs the habit and momentum of what have been until you play, stationary thoughts. Does any of this make sense?

Thank you for creating this place.
I'm off to sleep now.

Hey Max, we talked about it a few posts ago.
When all of us have finished this round we'll have a pow wow about it.

Best of luck with the results.

I can never tell how these things are going to end up while we wait on the judges results. So the waiting game begins.

Ive concluded that MemoryShock is an enlightened master who gives us precisely the topics we have to deal with within.

I struggled with some of the stuff he´s given me too but in the end I always learned a lot.


You (and your opponent) were awesome btw. I read the whole thing (but refrain from comment until its judged)

I didn't realize that bartending and sardonic wit could rake in so many tips.



Yes, MemoryShock has certainly pulled together some great debate topics. I'm curious as to what round three will bring.

I just found something neat for anyone who has followed the debate between TruthWithin and myself.

You can play along with us and give this a try: moral tests

Shock, will you take the test?
You might not wanna know what lurks within your soul.
