Neutral?! Is it neutral to argue against the right of private property as the narrator does when he say socialist wouldn't see it that way? I barely got into this video and I was scratching my head to understand the narrator's contorsions. The presenter is anything but neutral. The narrator starts with the assumption that there is no gravity, no up, no down, and to make any assertion would be to state a bias. Fact and the truths they lay out are not bias. This is what I call untethered thought processes. If you untether all fact for from reality, then you can make any argument seem logical working in this created realm of fantasized reality.

[@chriskendall1619]

[@rickchadderdon3817]

@@scottsyverson1607 Facts are not biased. Interpretations of facts are often biased. Your argument here shows that you fully buy into the snuck premise of private property and cannot see past your preconceived belief that "of course there's private property!" You completely missed the presenter's point - and in fact, demonstrated it quite well. There was no anti-Shapiro bias in that section and the presentation was, indeed, quite neutral.

@@ShubhThakkar I'm not talking about consciously making a complex argument with hidden holes in it hoping that the opposing thinker won't see them. I'm talking about both sides being so determined and adrenaline-driven that they would squeeze out the very best of their views and come up with new arguments thanks to which they'd shed a new light on the topic they're discussing that others would most likely miss because they would give up too soon. Because, in the end, agreeable people will not have an astute enough discourse when they agree with each other too soon and move on to another topic or end the debate.

@@turbotrup96 I think it's important to be rigorous, but you're confusing arguments with debate. Two people debating will never almost never agree with each other on a fundamental level, because debate dictates that two sides are opposing each other. Even if they end up agreeing on something, debates are usually time-boxed so how long they spend debating is usually determined by the format of the debate. Arguments can end pretty quickly, but an ideal argument aims for understanding one another over anything else.

Also, unless you actually want to claim that the distribution of resources which results from the _complete absence_ of any regulation whatsoever is the only proper one, you are going to have to acknowledge that there is in fact a legitimate argument about what it means to "earn" money and what the moral implications of a particular situation is, however inconvenient this may be to your tribalist, ideological sense of superiority.

@@thibaultl1956 I like Sam Harris, because he always strives to be very clear about his definitions and is actually interested in what his opposition has to say. I can't really say a lot more about American debaters because I am from Germany and I am not that exposed to the political sphere, but in Germany I like Richard David Precht (political philosopher), because he is very easy to follow and his line of argumentation almost always makes perfect sense, at least to me. That being said, I don't think that debate is actually a good way to exchange ideas. Debating is usually about overwhelming your opponent with rhetorical tricks and thereby convincing an audience with rhetorical strength rather than argumentative strength. (There is a book called "How to be right" by Arthur Schopenhauer, which is filled with rhetorical tricks and logical fallacies and how to use them to win debates. You can just have it lying next to you when watching Shapiro and check off boxes, it's scary).Also, people can have good ideas but be extremely bad at debating, maybe because they can't come up with good responses on the spot or just because they don't like the spontaneous nature of debates. Or maybe they can't remember all of their arguments or get lost in between them. That doesn't mean, however, that they can't defend their idea or that their idea is bad. The best political philosophy emerged from a much more controlled way of discourse, namely through the exchange of (sometimes public) letters, where the disputants have much more time to think about their response and try to tear apart their opponent's argument. This makes it a lot harder to act in bad faith or to apply logical fallacies and get away with it. The modern equivalent would be the exchange of ideas through KZbin videos. That's why I enjoy Amazing Atheist, ContraPoints, Shaun, TLDR etc much more than debate videos.

Another technique Ben uses is rapid speech which forces debate opponents to stop and think about what he said. This makes your opponent look weak because they don't have time to formulate an instant response.

[@reda29100]

Hear faster. Problem solved. And just we're in the clear, I don't think you mean the gish galloping fallacy, where one throws as many objections in his speech time as possible that the audience thinks if the opponent failed to respond to all of them then one has won by default. You don't mean that objection, do you?

[@reda29100]

@@zerochaos1 Ironic! There is absolutely nothing wrong about presenting new arguments or angles from which you have to consider an issue at all! Otherwise, if all is scripted, then how different or professional really is any speaker, if they're doing nothing but regurgitating previously pointed out arguments? Amd for Zero, where is the wrong thing Ben is doing? Let me dissect (in the neutral sense, to just break down) your points. You're firstly assuming Ben's throwing fallacies and is fallen victim to cognitive biases a lot of the time, but his saving grace is how quickly he throws stuff at the opponent's wall and see what sticks. So firstly you're assuming he's using fallacies a lot of the time (which I'm not positively arguing against, but I seldom see him do those. You're more than welcome to point out where he did so.) It is only wrong logically to throw claims after claims that the opponent can't possibly address in the debate's time, and being segwayed into debunking and defending irrelevant points instead of addressing and debunking immediately relevant points to the debate's topic. Even then, overwhelming the audience with 10 issues when the debate can only handle 2 or 3 topics or subpoints at max, to me is a coward way of redherring and distracting the viewer's attention. And notice I specifically said "topics/isses" not "points", as I genuinely believe putting 15 arguments or points all immediately relevant to your case is absolutely fair game. I mean, it's a bit unfair given he can deliver 1.5-2 times the amount of info his opponent can, but is that a logical fallacy or a shameful tactic? I see it as much of a shameful tactic as someone knowing more than his opponent really. Speaking faster isn't that different from knowing a subject more deeply than your opponent if you think about it. Secondly, and where irony lies, you're yourself calling him names and for lack of a better word, poisoning the well on him. If the fallacy you were looking for was gish galloping, i.e., overwhelming the opponent with topics he can't address (like throwing accusations after the other that he can't recover from in the debate's time), then you yourself committed the unforgivable sin of using words in your favor. And before you call me a Ben-boi I'd like to inform you, I am an Arab myself, and regarding that thing going on I differ with DW and pretty much all of conservatives in this regard. So almost by definition I'd have to nitpick every flaw I can find of him and how twisted he is in his speeches. What I have is, gonna sound arrogant there, the intellectual courage to say he's right when he's right, and innocent of fallacies when he's innocent of those grave sins. I probably disagree with them on every single issue, albeit it slightly in most cases. But calling me a Ben fanboy ain't gonna cut it, especially given in his book I'm as antisemitic as one can possibly be. But when he's right, he's right.

@NPC Muh Media Counts You are missing my point. A logical statement, or "argument" would be, If A, B. Restated, If A, then B. That is an argument. The only way to negate the statement, If A, then possibly B, is to affirm the negation, If A, then not B. You assumed a causation fallacy when a causation statement wasn't made. In a strictly logical sense. So if you want to accuse them of a fallacy then you have to assert the opposite absolute. It's logic. I mean, seriously.

But, his opponent "specifically" says "free trade," and then we don't hear from Mr. Ben Specific anymore, because his opponent successfully responded and Ben had no answer. As far as "Snuck Premises" go at 7:00, I noticed that point immediately. Any intelligent opponent would have said, "No baby is being killed; it is just a fetus being disposed of." The same thing applies to the concept of "your money." Any decent opponent would not have been deceived by such a "snuck premise." The concept of "Moving from the abstract to the concrete" is one I would have immediately destroyed Ben with the moment I heard Ben use the word "All." The word "All" virtually "always" is a word to stay away from and shows the person speaking is exaggerating and doesn't know what he is talking about - as we saw when Ben claims you can live on $6 for the entire year.

[@RadiantSkin]

@@savagesquad9870 So Ben is always right, and whomever he debates is always wrong. You may be right in one way. Ben is a know-it-all. Truly intelligent people are open to learning something new that they haven't heard before. But you won't catch Ben doing that.

The means of debate have changed in our sick society. It is no longer a debate for the truth, but a debate for winning: most notebly, who can be silenced quicker.

[@ElikssV]

the debate for the sole purpose of winning rather than finding the truth can be traced back all the way to acient greece. unfortunately it's been this way for a long, long time

Ben Shapiro does tell the truth

Well it's easy to win a debate when the other side doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about.

[@bee4377]

I think the point that you're missing is that both sides in any Ben Shapiro debate *do* believe that they are correct and telling the truth. Ben would never support a position that he believed was a lie- the problem is that he is misguided about what the truth actually is. I just don't think it's smart to blindly attribute malice to people you disagree with, I see this happen a lot on all sides.

"Winning" a Debate is NOT about conceding victory or defeat. It's about if both sides bring rational arguments with mutual respectful open minds to learn from them.

Thankyou for this....that's what we need to aim for...a person claiming to win is not open minded to learn the perspective of the other side

I think the last time intelligent people with moral standards were actually invested in a public debate, was the famous debates between Einstein and Bohr on the theories of quantum mechanics. It was a classy way of debating, where each day they would meet up and present arguments from their respective opinions and studies. Then the other person would have a day to come up with a counter argument to disprove the theory of the other person, and it would continue like that until one side was unable to dispute the other person's theory. Now that is how you invest yourself in an objective argument. In modern day it's all about trying to silence the opposition as quickly as possible, because whoever spews the most words and silences the other side, they are deemed the winner. It's all about winning, not about actually learning. And not just learning about the other person's beliefs, but also learning why you might be right. Most people believe they are right, without actually knowing WHY they are right, because they try to refute other opinions before they even get to learn their own belief. You learn most about your own opinions when other people question them deeply and you start to doubt your opinions and have to do thorough research. That's how it was in the old days, but in modern media time is everything and if you can't present a counter immediately then you are refuted, so it's all about laying traps and using clever tactics to maneuver the debate into your favor. It's about winning the debate, not the truth.
