  • This video was an excellent idea! Maybe now your debates won't suck so much. Seriously, they are usually filled with pushovers who never actually talk.

  • When in a debate, which I don't do much anymore, I hate it when others tell me to cite my source when the sources cited are merely an others' opinion. This is the cat's game of every debate when taken far enough. What gives someone credibility? When it comes to philosophy, everything is subject to the individual which couldn't have possibly had the exact same life experience as you. Whoever you choose to cite as an authority on a subject might have credibility, but based on what? Riddle me that.

  • whats wrong with the frame rate??

  • Stef you should speak at a TED conference.

  • I disagree with Stefan on a few things, namely foreign policy, but i don't think i'd be up to debating with him haha he's quite a giant

  • Good points. However, while the internet has allowed you to reach an audience much wider than any other philosopher in a shorter time period. The anonymous nature of the internet allows for drive-by spamming and the web version of drunken dialling. Try not to empower them by responding to them.

  • O'Reilly doesnt debate, he just bullies people in his own show.

    Hey! i thought this was going to be a video about debating in favor of anarchism, not how to debate against you.

  • i want to see you have a debate with bill o'reilly, that would be interesting

  • You are so exciting! Your passion is inspiring. Thanks Stef. X

  • R.I.P.

  • "Hey moral soldier you've got righteous proclamations

    Your actions speak so loud I can't hear a word your saying"

  • Small book recommendation for debaters: Classical rhetoric for the modern student.

    Good video, thanks.
