I saw this in person, once. Guy with one of the those super-christian inflammatory signs in the middle of UC Berkeley. Both students and "protester" felt like they were presenting canned arguments "at" each other rather than "to" each other.
Now that I think about it, I could totally see a cabal of professors hiring someone to be antagonistic as a teaching moment.
- burkaman 10y agoI see this a lot in abortion debates, because to find any common ground you would need to have a really deep philosophical discussion about the definition of life. There's nowhere else to go from "I think it's murder", "I think it isn't". "Don't legislate my body" is completely irrelevant to people who think it's murder, and "stop killing babies" is nonsensical to people who think there aren't any babies involved.
