I think debate can absolutely expose both debate participants to new ideas, though. It can let both participants grow and allows the audience to reflect on what arguments they find compelling. I have 100% been convinced by certain arguments in the past and changed my position.
The reason critical thinking and debate doesn't solve anything is because most people's thoughts are programmed into firmware and language just sort of gives it a flourish of personal expression. People are how they argue, fundamentally: this is their nature.

Yes. I wasn't always pro capitalist for instance. I think people have ranges, but these ranges are still finite and determined by innate limitations.
