Well, I've always wondered what it's like to understand Newton physics alongside Einstein's physics. Their relevant books in the library are very alluring. Alas, I don't have the time to read them. Would be interested to see where this debate goes. I think it's interesting to learn Einstein's contemporaries. Maybe they're easier to follow than Einstein himself.
Well, as much as I'd like to appreciate extremely useful advice (especially since your advice is without strings), I am very comfortable where I am. My experiences with bullies occurred in highschool, not college. Had I known that this website existed during my highschool years, I would have wholeheartedly accepted your advice. I forgot to mention that my bully is currently washing cars for a living while I study abroad at a reasonably prominent college/university. Sure, the damage to my high school life was severe; I was incapable of social interaction for a time but nothing defeats the feeling of being superior over your bully in terms of life achievements. That's not to say I'm not interested in revenge. Philosophically, i believe in retributive justice and I am personally looking for payback.
Well, the debate went slightly technical there. On a non-philosophical note, I do agree that confrontation is somewhat better. Personally, I went "pacifist" with my bullies and I remember sensitive details about being locked in the toilet stall. It was not a good way to experience life. In all circumstances, I think you should always confront and fight your bullies.
I'm currently having problems with my internet. I'll just save this debate offline and read them in my free time. I should note that my feedback will be restricted to the first three rounds and I will only publish them after R4. Great work!
I don't think it's a good idea to presume "theism vs atheism" arguments as consistent and valid. These polemical debates would always be a circus. There's no such thing as a consistent and valid argument in religion.
Academic instructors are garbage at teaching undergrads. If you're wondering about the deteriorating quality of your education, there's always instructors to blame. IMHO, they need more accountability.
I find it excruciatingly difficult to read Kant's work, let alone paraphrasing them. Granted this is easier for me since I could take the utilitarian side but I'm more interested in Kant than Mill. I think this is a really creative debate to watch.
"Your proof of that *****in your own words****** is what?"
I have no idea why but this made me chuckle a little bit. You could've started your round with polite and cordial words but instead you chose to shout at him. LOL
Please, I ask that you avoid typing a rebuttal against the paper I gave you in our private dm, as that paper is reserved for the last round. Everything else (i.e. stacking up additional arguments and rebuttals) is fair game). Thanks!
Well, I think I won't be able to post anything in the next few hours. something came up on my end. Tho I guess it's reasonable to expect my written argument in the next few days.
Oppenheimer was a traitor. My opinion.

I understand. I'll keep that in mind.

Bump.
I think the debate looks like it deserves to be on the front page (especially when compared with everything else).
Very interesting counter-examples to Kant in R1.

you should read epictetus.

I think this is great. I can't vote but I will review the debate.

Yeah, I was an idiot and I was irresponsible. I appreciate the positive remarks, Sum1. I'll keep that in my mind.
Appreciate the early argument in R1

I'm motivated to continue this debate. Thanks for not using sensational sources (i.e. youtube). folk psychology (i.e. freud) is interesting.
Well, I’ll try to be active and I’ll take your feedback as motivation. Time permitting, I want to do another debate on ethical contextualism.
