Insofar as debate class is meant to create cognitive flexibility re: argumentation & augment empathy, I get it. I feel that I could fairly argue the inverse of most positions I've laid out. But if it's about capitalizing on the social popularity of weak arguments, it's a scourge.

The problem is that it's both. If you're familiar with the video from Evergreen in which I say "I am not interested in debate, I'm only interested in dialectic..." it is this exact issue that lead me that conclusion. I learned a lot from high school debate, not all of it good.

It seems this makes some degree of sense to you that it doesn't make to me, woefully uneducated thing that I am, and I guess all I can do is thank my lucky stars that I lack the class to ever have been assumed worthy of it. I cut my teeth on better idealogues than this, for sure.
