Choosing the right question matters
I’m totally with you on having very little interest in debates. The binary nature of it, the win-loss states, are so … useless, for many issues we have to grapple with. Similarly, the ‘contest of ideas’ - could I BE any less interested?
People like watching UFC and I wouldn’t want to stand between them and their interest (for multiple reasons).
But I am unconvinced that we learn much from debates.
