Intelligence Squared US was founded with one lofty goal: to raise the level of public discourse and to promote a realization that, on contentious issues, both sides have intellectually respectable and often persuasive viewpoints. It is vital to our civil society that we realize these issues are open to debate, and to provide a forum for balanced discussion that transcends emotion and ideology.
Name: Intelligence Squared US

I like these discussions, they are stimulating, but I do not like the debate, Oxford style, format which seems to say that anyone should be able to use any device to argue any side of any issue. Somehow it focuses more on the tricks people use, and that I find distracting. For example, in the prostitution debate, equating prostitution to marriage is a device that I think actually stops debate by shocking people into considering something that is absurd, or flips the discussion into a mode where every tiny thing has to be redefined, which there is not time for. There should be a better way to present these data and ideas than in some kind of Olympic contest that relies on tricks and strategy and not on informing the viewer and letting the truth sink in, or questions bubble up to be answered.

Wonderful stuff,
just goes to show that it (intellegence) is out there
and if people really want to understand things and raise their own
level of consciousness, they can, more easily at least, with the help of your debates and videos!

Can you please create an ordered playlist of your latest debate (Bush 43 the worst president in 50 years)? Thank you.

Great debates but they are impossible to follow because they are not in order, there are videos missing and they don't comeup on any searches. I have lost track of more than one debate. It's very very frustrating. There doesn't seem to be number 6 after Karl Rove on the Bush debate. I love watching your debates but it's getting to a point where I can't be bothered if I'm going to have to search for videos which end up not existing. Great vids shame about the channel.

NEVERMIND! I found the button...yaaay!

will you please make playlists so that we can watch all the videos on one subject in all their parts consecutively, instead of having to stop and click on the next one and the next part?

that would be tremendously helpful as I like listening to these types of things while I work, but it is inconvenient to have to stop and go back to the computer to get to the next part.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
