ooo interesting. There's that thing about debating as a 'skill' that's about sticking to an opinion no matter what, isn't there? It's infected politics so much that changing a point of view is considered 'bad'. It's pretty toxic. Masculine? Maybe.

also a terrible way to find truth all a debate tells you is which participant is more skilled at debating

I think it depends on the context of the word. For you, fellow americans, "debate" surely reminds to the current political debates you're having. And I find it normal to feel PURE ANGER against that political bullshit. But that's not a "debate". A debate must be just as you say.

We in spanish differentiate "debates" from "discusiones" (which doesn't always hold the exact meaning as "discussions": it sometimes refer to aggresive, violent conversations in which both sides are highly unaggreeable). We need more of the prior, and less of the latter ;)

Maybe political debates, but 3 years of high school debate organized by
@speechanddebate taught me important skills like note taking, extemporaneous speech, logical and organized thinking, and persuasion (all under time and performance pressures). I value it.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

True. In respect to the psychological, motivational aspect of it. On the other hand: there is some rationality in a dispute as a facilitator of truth.

I would think that "Debates are just . . . an open, honest conversation", but if you're talking about the debates for the presidential election, those aren't really debates -- those are more "let's recite talking points at each other and at the camera"
