- _delirium 16y agoBoring for people who've already had the debate a hundred times, I agree, but I think it's not totally bad that some kinds of debates recur, as new people who haven't really participated in the debate before arrive somewhere. There's a sense in which debating an issue yourself, against someone else who's genuinely debating it, gets to understanding in a different way than just reading a writeup of a debate some other people had ten years ago.
