Hi guys!
Hope you're all going great in life. I've been away for a bit learning and reading but have spared some time to pop back in. When I joined this site almost 5 years ago (on my shameful alt which will never be revealed), I was a dumb little kid in lockdown who binged Ben Shapiro videos and argued with people in Instagram comments. Soon after, I found this site, and was immediately drawn to the format of debate. This might sound weird to those who don't understand, but to me, entering a debate (especially if it's against someone you dislike) was extrodinarly exhilarating. There is a particular feeling you get when you are engaging on a neutral playing field with nothing but your words against a single individual which I found to be extremely fulfilling.
I mention this only to say that this website probably played a role in spurring my interest to pursue law as a career. So literally, Debateart is responsible for radically altering the life of at least one user. Quite incredibly, this site has cataloged my intellectual evolution in the last half decade, from when I was a dogmatic kid to now what I hope to be a reasonable guy.
In any case, I probably won't be participating in anymore debates on this site. If any of you enjoy my style of writing and argumentation, I've recently published a Substack where I publish all my papers I write for university (so you know they're great), including feedback and marks I received. I thought this would be an interesting spin for anyone who's interested reading some good essays and the comments they received from professors. Anywho, here's a list of my papers which are particularly worth reading. I would appreciate you subscribing!
Philosophy
- Lots of numbing philosophy and set theory.
Criminology
- The greatest paper I will write in my degree.
- Ever read in Instagram comments that a particular Africans commits half the violent crimes? This paper addresses why this is the case.
Sociology
- Reading this on some electronic device? Sorry, you’re contributing to slave labor.
(To put the grading system in perspective (I'm from Australia) 80< is a high distinction and 75-79 is a distinction)
