How much physically is going on in those scenes? Is the dialogue actually the most interesting thing, and what's at stake in the dialogue?
Having more going on, off-stage or on-stage in the debate, can make it more interesting than emotional beats alone. Sometimes you do have to have more dialogue to tell ideas and slow the pace, but be careful about how slow it feels. If a lot of the scenes are quite slow in a row it can feel bad to read. You don't even have to show the whole conversation either, you can jump in right when it gets interesting. Just options you have.
You remind me that I'm editing some dialogue scenes and one I am adding some subtext to hint more towards fundamental disagreements between three cooperating characters. It will help the reader think more about them until its explained later. Before I treated it like a throwaway explanation for the inciting incident, but I realized I have to give more attention to it the ideas clashing at that moment or it would let readers down.

I think objectively exist.
For example colors are subjective, but that is false.
Using the right choice of color makes a good illustration.
I can't explain it right so I hope there's a book for it.
