debate

today, a form of intellectual self-masturbation in which one attempts to scale an ivory tower in the shortest time possible. policy debate was founded in 1957 in an attempt to disguise the throes of the real world with dignified, “intellectual” switch-side arguments. the framers intended it to allow young people to become more active in the world around them and encourage them to do something to help the ailing world. instead, debaters made the activity into a compet-tion of who could spew the most statistics, impacts, horribly d-mnable effects/results, screaming evidence at cutthroat speed, and modern debate sprouted as a result. debate resides close to the top of the proverbial “ivory tower”, as the real world gets translated into evidence and impacts, statistics and “strats” to win tournaments. those who partic-p-te for the fun of it are exempt from this definition; it is only applicable to debate when it is applied as a critical theory that can “benefit the world”.
debate, when converted into a social theory, becomes a laughable mockery of the suffering of the world.
