      I randomly found something that sums up an issue I've had with Slate Star Codex. This is about an SSC post responding to Arthur Chu https://www.jefftk.com/p/lying-for-the-cause …pic.twitter.com/j5swCti04c

      Text: [1] I'm staying with friends in SF this week, and when I recommended it to my hosts they both started reading it but stopped before finishing on account of length. This demonstrates both Arthur's point about "debate-team nonsense" (writing so much people get bored and stop) as well as a different kind of (unintentional) incivility (writing so much your intellectual opponents don't have time to read the whole thing, which stops them from responding because it's disrespectful to ignore your points).

      i have come to believe that concision is something you owe your interlocutors it stems from the recognition that we are all thinking but limited beings, with only so much time and attention and energy

      and one can abuse this fact--win arguments by running out the clock, just having more posting stamina than anyone else this is not conducive to the rational exchange of ideas

      The whole thing about actual debate teams in actual debate tournaments is THERE'S A CLOCK

      hence the part where you train yourself to enunciate clearly while still talking really fast

      The whole thing about actual debates is they END Your time is up and you have to stop talking Then the judges decide who won, and that's it Someone wins the debate and the other side loses Scott's hobby is *not* actually what debate is like and is infinitely more annoying

          And that's the whole thing, under the Scott approach nothing is ever fucking finished, you can never say "the debate has been won" (in fact saying that is one of those "appeals to irrationality" they hate so much - who says the debate has been won, who has the right)

          We've got to dig up the moldering corpse of 1930s eugenics, rusty calipers in hand, for yet another go-round

          my point is something like this--no matter the format, you can always try to game that format rather than just have a discussion aimed at figuring out the good ideas this is obvious in formal debates, but anyone who spent time on message boards knows they are also gameable

          so while in debate you might have to literally speak very quickly yet clearly, on message boards it's more a matter of posting stamina, of being able to drown the other side in content, to flood the thread bandwidth beyond what anyone else wants to keep up with
