My objective is definitely to come to the correct conclusion. I know sometimes my positions win because other people can’t argue their positions well, but without those debates, I have no way to really challenge my own ideas. I think as people go I tend to be self-critical, but even I can have blind spots. So I use debates to see if and where I have gone wrong. I’ve definitely gone wrong many times before.
I don’t believe in persuasion as “trickery”—I see it as more getting past the emotional barriers for a real, productive discussion.
Hi everyone,
A few of you have met me on Omegle. I finally signed up and made an account here like you guys suggested.
About me: I’m 26 years old, and my hobbies include creative writing and PC games. My favorite TV show is Rupaul’s Drag Race.
I think I share almost all of the main positions that people tend to have in this community. But I actually find disagreements more interesting, so that’s mainly what I’m here for. One of my passions in life is debating. I did debate team and that sort of thing when I was younger, but now I’m more interested in how to seriously persuade people, not just debating for show. I still have a lot of improving to do, though. If anyone wants to exchange notes or get some tips, then let me know.
Love,
Flora
