No one learns anything debating people who agree with you. The problem is finding opposition that disagrees with you that’s (a)intellectually honest (b)knowledgable enough.
Learning grammars(logics), sciences, economics, law, and enough history is rather difficult for any human.

As we age we stop depending on emotions to inspire us to act, and increasingly depend on will and conviction to act.
You can look it up. The brain evolves from back to front. A mature emotional person is damaged. A young person lacking emotion is trained or disciplined.

Using cursing and sexual references is the same as saying “I am carrying no weapons”. If you search the literature in psychology and sociology you will find that people who curse are more trustworthy and honest than people who don’t.

That said, here is the real answer foreigners don’t grasp:

Sorry brother. Because of my rather public outrageous blunder on the 4th I’m fielding a troll storm that makes it difficult to tell innocents, friends, frenemies, and foes apart in a stream of tweets. Please accept my apologies.

There are two (young) men outside academia that can debate me today b.c they know my work. I now both of them. It takes a great deal of knowledge to hold a good debate in the great subjects of our age. If so it comes down to ‘what tactic’ will work, not what is true or false.

To make them drop their guard. Same reason I’d tell your mum that you had great potential in life, or your baby mommy her kid was cute. White lie. Nicety. A means of creating a dialog. It worked.
You would know that if you left your basement and talked to decent human beings. 😉

No more lies. No more false promises. Data is data. The more advanced the market, the more global the market the lower the possibility of supporting the underclasses.
Western civ = Truth before face.
No more lies.
