    Fuck yeah.

    Rhetorical questions are fun to put together and also to tear down bad takes, but it takes a lot practice which is why debate clubs in schools and communities are so critical.

    Pathos, logos, ethos, my dudes.

      Exactly my point. Starting a debate over a comment is defensive in nature.

        I’m literally saying the opposite.

        People need to learn to debate ideas and digest imperfect expressions from others by engaging in curiosity, not judgement.

        Ask more questions, assume less.
