Which means they don't realize this just shows their obvious insecurity: they're threatened by intelligence, so they assume we'll feel threatened as well, especially if they shout loud enough about how smart they are.

My film / media students are always after me to let them have "debates" instead of discussions in class, and I keep gently explaining that the goal of a seminar is not "winning" or making one side feel more validated in their positions than the other.

While I love the message, love the sentiment and actually feel like this position should be a goal, I kind of feel like choosing Hulk as your twitter spirit animal may be a poor choice...

I'm a guy who likes to argue and debate but I whole hardheartedly agree that using it as a defense tactic is bullshit.

Thanks for this thread. The last couple years I have been frustrated with this bastardization of debate. Unless both parties are actually open to the ideas of the other and the possibility they could be wrong, the debate is false and a waste of everyone time.

Debate: contest. Discussion: actually trying to figure out not just what the other person's opinions really are, but also your own. I prefer the latter.
