He doesn't read as many books as you do, but he will destroy you in debate without a chance. Why would you read books if they don't teach you what this guy can do?

Winning debates isn't about being right, especially when done on a visual medium.

His opponents don't read either. When they do, he usually shuts up and says he has to research stuff.

Destiny is pretty good at asking clarifying questions and spotting where people get into contradictions. But he's not a great source of original information, that's what books are for.

Sophistry is a value judgement not a descriptor.

Debate isn't even about the information, it's how you present it. In any discussion where you can employ purely human things like status, charisma, processing speed, you will see these things invoked. The ONLY way to have an actual discussion based on the information itself in pursuit of knowledge is with the written word. Nothing else is worth paying ANY attention to. Debate tactics often exploit what are essentially evolutionary backdoors into the human brain. As a social species, we are literally wired to look for and pay attention to things like charisma because they hold a value when getting groups of humans to cooperate in pursuit of a concrete goal, like hunting a mammoth or caring for the tribe's young. I submit that charisma is entirely irrelevant to a genuine debate when you actually care about what's being discussed, and if you are interested in more than finding out who the most eloquent and charismatic hairless chimp is, you would eschew completely the visual and the auditory in favor of the written word, which bypasses almost all of our evolutionary impulses entirely.

What's Destiny written again?

People like this value playing word games over finding the truth or even a workable solution, pretty sad

He's probably anti-hbd like all liberals, so no, he wouldn't "destroy" me in a debate

I think most liberal fail at their fundamental epistemology. Attack their epistemology and you have a barely afloat worldview with very brittle presuppositions.

No, but he wishes he was.
