Debates (mainly to political ones) are useless, a huge waste of time.People hold on to their current beliefs like idols of worship, they'd rather defend the most retarded shit ever for sake of consistency than simply admit they were wrong.It's just a bunch of pigeons trying to play chess and then posting the clips on social media,
Debates arent a waste of time, they test ideas and sharpen thinking. People may defend their beliefs strongly, but consistency shows thought, not stubbornness. Even when shared online, debates spread ideas and spark discussion, which is far more useful than silence.
