@@ShubhThakkar I'm not talking about consciously making a complex argument with hidden holes in it hoping that the opposing thinker won't see them. I'm talking about both sides being so determined and adrenaline-driven that they would squeeze out the very best of their views and come up with new arguments thanks to which they'd shed a new light on the topic they're discussing that others would most likely miss because they would give up too soon. Because, in the end, agreeable people will not have an astute enough discourse when they agree with each other too soon and move on to another topic or end the debate.
@@turbotrup96 I think it's important to be rigorous, but you're confusing arguments with debate. Two people debating will never almost never agree with each other on a fundamental level, because debate dictates that two sides are opposing each other. Even if they end up agreeing on something, debates are usually time-boxed so how long they spend debating is usually determined by the format of the debate. Arguments can end pretty quickly, but an ideal argument aims for understanding one another over anything else.

But if you really dig into his arguments and the "facts" he states, you quickly notice they are usually full of logical fallacies (strawmanning being one of the key words here) and factual misrepresentation. Sometimes his "facts" are even drawn from scientifically dishonest sources. When it comes to the issue of black crime, he is especially dishonest and misrepresents the data/statistics badly, and in this particular case I am not even sure whether it's deliberate or not. So no, he usually does not have "facts" to back up his claims, he is just a mediocre debater picking his battles with even worse debaters.
@@thibaultl1956 I like Sam Harris, because he always strives to be very clear about his definitions and is actually interested in what his opposition has to say. I can't really say a lot more about American debaters because I am from Germany and I am not that exposed to the political sphere, but in Germany I like Richard David Precht (political philosopher), because he is very easy to follow and his line of argumentation almost always makes perfect sense, at least to me. That being said, I don't think that debate is actually a good way to exchange ideas. Debating is usually about overwhelming your opponent with rhetorical tricks and thereby convincing an audience with rhetorical strength rather than argumentative strength. (There is a book called "How to be right" by Arthur Schopenhauer, which is filled with rhetorical tricks and logical fallacies and how to use them to win debates. You can just have it lying next to you when watching Shapiro and check off boxes, it's scary).Also, people can have good ideas but be extremely bad at debating, maybe because they can't come up with good responses on the spot or just because they don't like the spontaneous nature of debates. Or maybe they can't remember all of their arguments or get lost in between them. That doesn't mean, however, that they can't defend their idea or that their idea is bad. The best political philosophy emerged from a much more controlled way of discourse, namely through the exchange of (sometimes public) letters, where the disputants have much more time to think about their response and try to tear apart their opponent's argument. This makes it a lot harder to act in bad faith or to apply logical fallacies and get away with it. The modern equivalent would be the exchange of ideas through UA-cam videos. That's why I enjoy Amazing Atheist, ContraPoints, Shaun, TLDR etc much more than debate videos.

Lovemercy You sound extremely obnoxious and biased. Both liberalism and conservatism are beliefs based on differing values and have their pros and cons. Saying that one side’s beliefs are inherently correct and the other side’s are irrelevant just means you’re too indoctrinated by your ideals to possibly engage in any meaningful discourse regarding the topic. Perhaps you should check yourself and try being a bit more open-minded
The most important of all these factors is RESEARCH! When you give yourself the tools (knowledge, wisdom, facts, research) you have an entire toolkit of ammo (builds confidence) to use your logic brain to slay.

Allu: When one is trying to reason with a leftist, one can be certain they are not interested in learning from you, and you can also be certain there is nothing available to learn from their fact-free emotion-based regurgitated-talking-point rant which passes for an argument only in their own mind, so that’s how we get there. 🤣

@Marisa Nya That's actually a bold faced lie, if you listened to anything he's said on the matter in the last 2-3 years, he's changed his stance on this. Nice try though.
Another technique Ben uses is rapid speech which forces debate opponents to stop and think about what he said. This makes your opponent look weak because they don't have time to formulate an instant response.
Hear faster. Problem solved. And just we're in the clear, I don't think you mean the gish galloping fallacy, where one throws as many objections in his speech time as possible that the audience thinks if the opponent failed to respond to all of them then one has won by default. You don't mean that objection, do you?
@@zerochaos1 Ironic! There is absolutely nothing wrong about presenting new arguments or angles from which you have to consider an issue at all! Otherwise, if all is scripted, then how different or professional really is any speaker, if they're doing nothing but regurgitating previously pointed out arguments? Amd for Zero, where is the wrong thing Ben is doing? Let me dissect (in the neutral sense, to just break down) your points. You're firstly assuming Ben's throwing fallacies and is fallen victim to cognitive biases a lot of the time, but his saving grace is how quickly he throws stuff at the opponent's wall and see what sticks. So firstly you're assuming he's using fallacies a lot of the time (which I'm not positively arguing against, but I seldom see him do those. You're more than welcome to point out where he did so.) It is only wrong logically to throw claims after claims that the opponent can't possibly address in the debate's time, and being segwayed into debunking and defending irrelevant points instead of addressing and debunking immediately relevant points to the debate's topic. Even then, overwhelming the audience with 10 issues when the debate can only handle 2 or 3 topics or subpoints at max, to me is a coward way of redherring and distracting the viewer's attention. And notice I specifically said "topics/isses" not "points", as I genuinely believe putting 15 arguments or points all immediately relevant to your case is absolutely fair game. I mean, it's a bit unfair given he can deliver 1.5-2 times the amount of info his opponent can, but is that a logical fallacy or a shameful tactic? I see it as much of a shameful tactic as someone knowing more than his opponent really. Speaking faster isn't that different from knowing a subject more deeply than your opponent if you think about it. Secondly, and where irony lies, you're yourself calling him names and for lack of a better word, poisoning the well on him. If the fallacy you were looking for was gish galloping, i.e., overwhelming the opponent with topics he can't address (like throwing accusations after the other that he can't recover from in the debate's time), then you yourself committed the unforgivable sin of using words in your favor. And before you call me a Ben-boi I'd like to inform you, I am an Arab myself, and regarding that thing going on I differ with DW and pretty much all of conservatives in this regard. So almost by definition I'd have to nitpick every flaw I can find of him and how twisted he is in his speeches. What I have is, gonna sound arrogant there, the intellectual courage to say he's right when he's right, and innocent of fallacies when he's innocent of those grave sins. I probably disagree with them on every single issue, albeit it slightly in most cases. But calling me a Ben fanboy ain't gonna cut it, especially given in his book I'm as antisemitic as one can possibly be. But when he's right, he's right.
I just saw another video that criticized his smirking as it meant he was making his opponent mad, that may be the case or not. I think when Ben smirks he is thinking checkmate ...
I understand why he had to do it, but its still sad he has to continually say "I'm not saying I agree with Ben" or something of that nature because he knows the internet will turn it into him being right wing conservative just because he made a video on Ben Shapiro. Edit: I am brain dead from reading the comments under my own comment. Almost all of your comments have 0 to do with what I even said.
its also funny how people in their particular political surrounding often state at which side they stand before they even say anything so as not be attacked by their "allies" for an unpopular opinion
R Parker right that’s my point. He might dislike Ben Shapiro but still respects his debate skills. He keeps having to state that the video is not him agreeing with Ben bc so many people take the idea of complimenting ones skills as the same agreeing with the point of view.
@@SlickSkuddy if you wanna be good just read books nd listen to people use these tactics a lot and then do actual debates even if you lose its experience
@NPC Muh Media Counts, when you use the word "generally" it prohibits you from accusing them of using a fallacy. This is because they aren't making an argument.
@NPC Muh Media Counts You are missing my point. A logical statement, or "argument" would be, If A, B. Restated, If A, then B. That is an argument. The only way to negate the statement, If A, then possibly B, is to affirm the negation, If A, then not B. You assumed a causation fallacy when a causation statement wasn't made. In a strictly logical sense. So if you want to accuse them of a fallacy then you have to assert the opposite absolute. It's logic. I mean, seriously. Your error occurred when you assumed the first statement was a If-then statement. It wasn't. Feelings have nothing to do with it. Good day!
@NPC Muh Media Counts I can't decide if you are someone who understands the laws of logic and are just amusing yourself by abusing them or if you are just some random dude who watched a UA-cam video about logic and now you feel like you can use logical fallacies as some blunt weapon to beat people into submission. Part of me wants to believe it's the former and there is intelligent life on the UA-cam comments thread. Your attacks, while not logical fallacies, do give more weight to the original statement. When someone is reduced to insults, it generally means you're winning the argument. I guess I love feeding the trolls. :)
I absolutely appreciate all the videos you share. This one in particular because it will possibly give me a chance to win at least a few debates between my son and I. I love him to death, but he is an incredible debater. I seem to fall victim to his skill and experience.
A question I wuld ask is what is your goal in debating with your son? Why do you want to "win" debates? What are your actual goals there? Unless it's someting you and your son do for fun and understand you are debating as a type of game, I don't think trying to learn tactics to "beat" your son at debate is likely to accomplish any goal I would associate with parenting.
that's because your parents are playing the "I DEMAND YOUR COMPLIANCE" card, That works until you are capable of winning a physical fight, Then they have to use Soft power, to back those words, That words until you have soft power as well or own your own living space, At which point negotiation becomes optional.

@Dave Liebers He is not quite clear about whether the term "their money" refers to a legal or a moral distinction. I would assume a moral one, in which case there is no clear, default reference by which this definition can be taken as a given, which is the premise he is trying to sneak in. Also, unless you actually want to claim that the distribution of resources which results from the _complete absence_ of any regulation whatsoever is the only proper one, you are going to have to acknowledge that there is in fact a legitimate argument about what it means to "earn" money and what the moral implications of a particular situation is, however inconvenient this may be to your tribalist, ideological sense of superiority.

I think the last time intelligent people with moral standards were actually invested in a public debate, was the famous debates between Einstein and Bohr on the theories of quantum mechanics. It was a classy way of debating, where each day they would meet up and present arguments from their respective opinions and studies. Then the other person would have a day to come up with a counter argument to disprove the theory of the other person, and it would continue like that until one side was unable to dispute the other person's theory. Now that is how you invest yourself in an objective argument. In modern day it's all about trying to silence the opposition as quickly as possible, because whoever spews the most words and silences the other side, they are deemed the winner. It's all about winning, not about actually learning. And not just learning about the other person's beliefs, but also learning why you might be right. Most people believe they are right, without actually knowing WHY they are right, because they try to refute other opinions before they even get to learn their own belief. You learn most about your own opinions when other people question them deeply and you start to doubt your opinions and have to do thorough research. That's how it was in the old days, but in modern media time is everything and if you can't present a counter immediately then you are refuted, so it's all about laying traps and using clever tactics to maneuver the debate into your favor. It's about winning the debate, not the truth.
The means of debate have changed in our sick society. It is no longer a debate for the truth, but a debate for winning: most notebly, who can be silenced quicker.
the debate for the sole purpose of winning rather than finding the truth can be traced back all the way to acient greece. unfortunately it's been this way for a long, long time
I think the point that you're missing is that both sides in any Ben Shapiro debate *do* believe that they are correct and telling the truth. Ben would never support a position that he believed was a lie- the problem is that he is misguided about what the truth actually is. I just don't think it's smart to blindly attribute malice to people you disagree with, I see this happen a lot on all sides.

John Lewis, here are specifics you asked for. Ben looked terrible and actually lost when he asked for specifics. At 3:10 Ben asks for specifics. But, his opponent "specifically" says "free trade," and then we don't hear from Mr. Ben Specific anymore, because his opponent successfully responded and Ben had no answer. As far as "Snuck Premises" go at 7:00, I noticed that point immediately. Any intelligent opponent would have said, "No baby is being killed; it is just a fetus being disposed of." The same thing applies to the concept of "your money." Any decent opponent would not have been deceived by such a "snuck premise." The concept of "Moving from the abstract to the concrete" is one I would have immediately destroyed Ben with the moment I heard Ben use the word "All." The word "All" virtually "always" is a word to stay away from and shows the person speaking is exaggerating and doesn't know what he is talking about - as we saw when Ben claims you can live on $6 for the entire year.
It's so sad that arguments nowadays are about winning. Arguments should be a way to reach the TRUTH. Don't try to humiliate your opponent, but help them to develop and clarify their argument so you can both reach a good result.
it’s been apart of the ongoing trend of appeasing to audiences. Media outlets and popular social media figures have demonstrated the rewards of pandering to a certain crowd. Whether it’s late night show hosts talking about Trump or the absolute echo chamber that is this comment section all repeating the same thing in order to gain likes. Debates have devolved into a shouting contest where it’s about looking good rather than being correct like you said. Respect has been thrown out the window everyone now just a piece of that pie at this point (gratification).

I will admit that he is impressive against college kids, but in that debate with Cenk last year, I really felt like he was just resorting to getting cheap laughs, which admittedly worked quite well. As far as the facts went though, it was Cenk almost all the way, and I am not a fan of TYT. I was genuinely surprised when I watched it. It turns out that when his opponents have done as much research as he has, he is a lot less impressive all of a sudden. At least that´s my experience from having seen a lot of his material.

@@turbotrup96 So you're basically saying that you would sacrifice the chances of your argument being correct, so that you can increase your chances of winning it? Trying to win an argument knowing that you're fundamentally wrong is the most basic sign of being a morally wrong person.
@@ShubhThakkar I'm not talking about consciously making a complex argument with hidden holes in it hoping that the opposing thinker won't see them. I'm talking about both sides being so determined and adrenaline-driven that they would squeeze out the very best of their views and come up with new arguments thanks to which they'd shed a new light on the topic they're discussing that others would most likely miss because they would give up too soon.
Because, in the end, agreeable people will not have an astute enough discourse when they agree with each other too soon and move on to another topic or end the debate.
The issue with what is right or wrong is no all that clear. Nearly everything can be debated.
@@turbotrup96 I think it's important to be rigorous, but you're confusing arguments with debate. Two people debating will never almost never agree with each other on a fundamental level, because debate dictates that two sides are opposing each other. Even if they end up agreeing on something, debates are usually time-boxed so how long they spend debating is usually determined by the format of the debate. Arguments can end pretty quickly, but an ideal argument aims for understanding one another over anything else.

@@sonicthehedgehog1109 No, he doesn't. He is just good at presenting arguments in a cohesive manner. But if you really dig into his arguments and the "facts" he states, you quickly notice they are usually full of logical fallacies (strawmanning being one of the key words here) and factual misrepresentation. Sometimes his "facts" are even drawn from scientifically dishonest sources. When it comes to the issue of black crime, he is especially dishonest and misrepresents the data/statistics badly, and in this particular case I am not even sure whether it's deliberate or not. So no, he usually does not have "facts" to back up his claims, he is just a mediocre debater picking his battles with even worse debaters.
UserJWR Alright so who’s you favorite debater? I’m honestly curious...
@@thibaultl1956 I like Sam Harris, because he always strives to be very clear about his definitions and is actually interested in what his opposition has to say. I can't really say a lot more about American debaters because I am from Germany and I am not that exposed to the political sphere, but in Germany I like Richard David Precht (political philosopher), because he is very easy to follow and his line of argumentation almost always makes perfect sense, at least to me.
That being said, I don't think that debate is actually a good way to exchange ideas. Debating is usually about overwhelming your opponent with rhetorical tricks and thereby convincing an audience with rhetorical strength rather than argumentative strength. (There is a book called "How to be right" by Arthur Schopenhauer, which is filled with rhetorical tricks and logical fallacies and how to use them to win debates. You can just have it lying next to you when watching Shapiro and check off boxes, it's scary).Also, people can have good ideas but be extremely bad at debating, maybe because they can't come up with good responses on the spot or just because they don't like the spontaneous nature of debates. Or maybe they can't remember all of their arguments or get lost in between them. That doesn't mean, however, that they can't defend their idea or that their idea is bad.
The best political philosophy emerged from a much more controlled way of discourse, namely through the exchange of (sometimes public) letters, where the disputants have much more time to think about their response and try to tear apart their opponent's argument. This makes it a lot harder to act in bad faith or to apply logical fallacies and get away with it. The modern equivalent would be the exchange of ideas through UA-cam videos. That's why I enjoy Amazing Atheist, ContraPoints, Shaun, TLDR etc much more than debate videos.

The most important of all these factors is RESEARCH! When you give yourself the tools (knowledge, wisdom, facts, research) you have an entire toolkit of ammo (builds confidence) to use your logic brain to slay.
Exactly. The facts are the main part, the skills help to break through the other one's stubbornness.

Another technique Ben uses is rapid speech which forces debate opponents to stop and think about what he said. This makes your opponent look weak because they don't have time to formulate an instant response.
Hear faster. Problem solved.
And just we're in the clear, I don't think you mean the gish galloping fallacy, where one throws as many objections in his speech time as possible that the audience thinks if the opponent failed to respond to all of them then one has won by default.
You don't mean that objection, do you?
As a fellow fast-talker who listens to podcasts (including Shapiro's) at x1.5 speed, all I can say is git gud
He uses rapid speech to mask the logic errors and weakness in his own arguments. He is very immature and insulting. He is arrogant and prideful.
@@zerochaos1 Git gud, scrub
@@zerochaos1 Ironic! There is absolutely nothing wrong about presenting new arguments or angles from which you have to consider an issue at all! Otherwise, if all is scripted, then how different or professional really is any speaker, if they're doing nothing but regurgitating previously pointed out arguments?
Amd for Zero, where is the wrong thing Ben is doing? Let me dissect (in the neutral sense, to just break down) your points. You're firstly assuming Ben's throwing fallacies and is fallen victim to cognitive biases a lot of the time, but his saving grace is how quickly he throws stuff at the opponent's wall and see what sticks. So firstly you're assuming he's using fallacies a lot of the time (which I'm not positively arguing against, but I seldom see him do those. You're more than welcome to point out where he did so.)
It is only wrong logically to throw claims after claims that the opponent can't possibly address in the debate's time, and being segwayed into debunking and defending irrelevant points instead of addressing and debunking immediately relevant points to the debate's topic. Even then, overwhelming the audience with 10 issues when the debate can only handle 2 or 3 topics or subpoints at max, to me is a coward way of redherring and distracting the viewer's attention. And notice I specifically said "topics/isses" not "points", as I genuinely believe putting 15 arguments or points all immediately relevant to your case is absolutely fair game. I mean, it's a bit unfair given he can deliver 1.5-2 times the amount of info his opponent can, but is that a logical fallacy or a shameful tactic? I see it as much of a shameful tactic as someone knowing more than his opponent really. Speaking faster isn't that different from knowing a subject more deeply than your opponent if you think about it.
Secondly, and where irony lies, you're yourself calling him names and for lack of a better word, poisoning the well on him. If the fallacy you were looking for was gish galloping, i.e., overwhelming the opponent with topics he can't address (like throwing accusations after the other that he can't recover from in the debate's time), then you yourself committed the unforgivable sin of using words in your favor.
And before you call me a Ben-boi I'd like to inform you, I am an Arab myself, and regarding that thing going on I differ with DW and pretty much all of conservatives in this regard. So almost by definition I'd have to nitpick every flaw I can find of him and how twisted he is in his speeches. What I have is, gonna sound arrogant there, the intellectual courage to say he's right when he's right, and innocent of fallacies when he's innocent of those grave sins.
I probably disagree with them on every single issue, albeit it slightly in most cases. But calling me a Ben fanboy ain't gonna cut it, especially given in his book I'm as antisemitic as one can possibly be.
But when he's right, he's right.

You assumed a causation fallacy when a causation statement wasn't made. In a strictly logical sense. So if you want to accuse them of a fallacy then you have to assert the opposite absolute.

That last one was the only thing he did right.
Merry no he’s done like 1000% more than that
Some hella points wow! You must have been eating in your hurry texting
he's so memeable
When my neighbor resorted to stabbing me multiple times, it was only then I knew I won the verbal argument
I find that when the enemy loses his temper, I've won.
so say you destroy something of your enemy’s that is very epic to him and he gets mad did you win because he got pissed off for destroying his thing? or are you the one to blame for making him mad cus you destroyed something of his that wasn’t yours?
@@bruggbruh that is what a debate is i.e. destroy your opponents.
@@bruggbruh That's the point of a debate. You destroy what your opponent defends
Maybe, but if it's before you've even had a chance to say anything of substance (like what happened to Ben on the BBC) then it's more like the person who got mad forfeited

@Dave Liebers He is not quite clear about whether the term "their money" refers to a legal or a moral distinction. I would assume a moral one, in which case there is no clear, default reference by which this definition can be taken as a given, which is the premise he is trying to sneak in.
Also, unless you actually want to claim that the distribution of resources which results from the _complete absence_ of any regulation whatsoever is the only proper one, you are going to have to acknowledge that there is in fact a legitimate argument about what it means to "earn" money and what the moral implications of a particular situation is, however inconvenient this may be to your tribalist, ideological sense of superiority.
Guy literally tried to make a point that he wants to fight racism but he cannot because his opponents won't explain what racism is. This isn't what debates are about. He just likes to talk fast and trick his opponents into confusion. Not making a valid point or promoting healthy dialogue. He is an insult to intelligence.

"Winning" a Debate is NOT about conceding victory or defeat. It's about if both sides bring rational arguments with mutual respectful open minds to learn from them.
Now this is something I can get behind with
Yeah!
Whin ben shapiro never does. Just gotcha commentaty.
Thankyou for this....that's what we need to aim for...a person claiming to win is not open minded to learn the perspective of the other side
Thank you! Finally someone rational!👏👏👏

As a formal logic fan, the “snuck premise” tactic was really illuminating. Thank you!
Yeah if you can pigeonhole the key logic into a good enough snuck premise, you can pretty much win any debate.
In formal logic, the "snuck premise" is called "begging the question" -- it assumes the very thing you're supposed to be proving.
@@marjoriebull652 Yes! You are right, it's the same thing. I'm going to start referring to it as Snuck Premise from now on so I don't have to explain what Begging the Question is.
I'm wondering though - what would have been an alternative to what he said? The pro-life position rests on the position that abortion "kills babies". It seems to me that he was simply stating the facts as he sees them. This applies to the other example as well.
@@TheEMC99 I agree. I don't get why anyone would make your argument for you. Not every pro choicer disagrees with the status of life, but if the entire grounds of the debate is whether its alive or not then a comment like that will not go unnoticed otherwise there is no argument in the first place.
An expert debater. Thank you
I think the last time intelligent people with moral standards were actually invested in a public debate, was the famous debates between Einstein and Bohr on the theories of quantum mechanics. It was a classy way of debating, where each day they would meet up and present arguments from their respective opinions and studies. Then the other person would have a day to come up with a counter argument to disprove the theory of the other person, and it would continue like that until one side was unable to dispute the other person's theory. Now that is how you invest yourself in an objective argument.
In modern day it's all about trying to silence the opposition as quickly as possible, because whoever spews the most words and silences the other side, they are deemed the winner. It's all about winning, not about actually learning. And not just learning about the other person's beliefs, but also learning why you might be right. Most people believe they are right, without actually knowing WHY they are right, because they try to refute other opinions before they even get to learn their own belief. You learn most about your own opinions when other people question them deeply and you start to doubt your opinions and have to do thorough research. That's how it was in the old days, but in modern media time is everything and if you can't present a counter immediately then you are refuted, so it's all about laying traps and using clever tactics to maneuver the debate into your favor. It's about winning the debate, not the truth.

The means of debate have changed in our sick society. It is no longer a debate for the truth, but a debate for winning: most notebly, who can be silenced quicker.
the debate for the sole purpose of winning rather than finding the truth can be traced back all the way to acient greece. unfortunately it's been this way for a long, long time
Ben Shapiro does tell the truth
@@wheretab7323 that's what he convinced you of.
Well it's easy to win a debate when the other side doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about.
I think the point that you're missing is that both sides in any Ben Shapiro debate *do* believe that they are correct and telling the truth. Ben would never support a position that he believed was a lie- the problem is that he is misguided about what the truth actually is.
I just don't think it's smart to blindly attribute malice to people you disagree with, I see this happen a lot on all sides.
This is the most detailed, non biased analysis I've ever found on this type of topic. Thank you.
I saw more detail in books on how to insult other human beings. This video was not detailed at all. It was just nonsense.
@@michaelzoran I believe you have missed the point on the video.
@@DeadByDeath I fully understand the point of the video. The true point of the video is to try to give some publicity to this fella, even though he actually isn't particularly good at what he does.
@@michaelzoran give examples, because u truly believe that you did not understand the video. It doesn't matter if you agree with Ben or not, this video is just showing you how he wins debates
John Lewis, here are specifics you asked for. Ben looked terrible and actually lost when he asked for specifics. At 3:10 Ben asks for specifics. But, his opponent "specifically" says "free trade," and then we don't hear from Mr. Ben Specific anymore, because his opponent successfully responded and Ben had no answer. As far as "Snuck Premises" go at 7:00, I noticed that point immediately. Any intelligent opponent would have said, "No baby is being killed; it is just a fetus being disposed of." The same thing applies to the concept of "your money." Any decent opponent would not have been deceived by such a "snuck premise."
The concept of "Moving from the abstract to the concrete" is one I would have immediately destroyed Ben with the moment I heard Ben use the word "All." The word "All" virtually "always" is a word to stay away from and shows the person speaking is exaggerating and doesn't know what he is talking about - as we saw when Ben claims you can live on $6 for the entire year.
Honestly a really good breakdown without getting political.

It's so sad that arguments nowadays are about winning. Arguments should be a way to reach the TRUTH. Don't try to humiliate your opponent, but help them to develop and clarify their argument so you can both reach a good result.
it’s been apart of the ongoing trend of appeasing to audiences. Media outlets and popular social media figures have demonstrated the rewards of pandering to a certain crowd. Whether it’s late night show hosts talking about Trump or the absolute echo chamber that is this comment section all repeating the same thing in order to gain likes. Debates have devolved into a shouting contest where it’s about looking good rather than being correct like you said. Respect has been thrown out the window everyone now just a piece of that pie at this point (gratification).
ok let's remove the political system and law system as the fundaments of those fields are both built on lies or misconstruing a scenario to fit an agenda
Ixactl - what ?!
@@Abdullah1997 WhAt, the main basis of several things that make up our society follow the trend of lying or misconstruing data, it's been common to do this with law and government, trump, for example, overlaps several of his statements, and Hillary defended a rapist in her career as a lawyer. these careers require lying and both include some sort of debate.
I can agree that humiliating the opponent isn't really the point of debate but in these examples, it's clear ben isn't trying to do this, he is trying to show his point of view and gives a reason for it, his hivemind fans applaud him for doing minuscule things, he doesn't destroy them, his fans say he destroys them.
Ben shuts down bad arguments so fast they don’t really know how to respond. Game - Set - and Match.
And yet, he refused to have any debates at this year´s Politicon. Gee, I wonder why.
@@jirkazalabak1514 because everyone at politicon has a restraining order against him because he be too good or he didn't see any real challenge (or maybe he was just busy, you never know, you're not him)
If you actually watched the video you'll see that he's a great grandstander and uses rhetoric effectively. Is he extremely good at presenting his points and flustering his opponents? Hell yeah, he is but how good you are at debate doesn't necessarily mean what you're arguing for is actually correct
Ben Shapiro is a hack. He backs up bad ideas with good arguments and data that sounds convincing but is usually disproven or shaky at best
@@sasukeisacat No, he was giving a speech and then having a panel with his cronies from Daily Wire I believe. So yes, he was at Politicon, and he was there the whole time. He got several challenges, including Kyle Kulinski, but for some reason "Mr. I will debate anyone" didn´t actually debate anyone. I will admit that he is impressive against college kids, but in that debate with Cenk last year, I really felt like he was just resorting to getting cheap laughs, which admittedly worked quite well. As far as the facts went though, it was Cenk almost all the way, and I am not a fan of TYT. I was genuinely surprised when I watched it. It turns out that when his opponents have done as much research as he has, he is a lot less impressive all of a sudden. At least that´s my experience from having seen a lot of his material.
If you can defend yourself vocally, physically, and mentally - You will be a force to be reckoned with.
Speaking of experience.
You don't have to agree with him to admit he's got a hell of a mouth on him and the guile to back it up.
