Literally all RFK Jr. has to do is throw endless nonsense against the wall, doesn’t have to be consistent with itself, doesn’t have to come from real sources, and just trip up the PhD on one single issue. Then he can spike the football and claim victory. It’s an impossible setup.

Refute all 30 of these, NOW, and if you can’t then clearly you don’t know anything and RFK Jr. wins.
When you’re done we got 30 more and basically an endless supply. Doesn’t matter if you prove 99 of them wrong. If you can’t prove one wrong during a live debate we claim victory. We don’t care if you show that our arguments are inconsistent with each other, and totally impugn one of our sources. We still expect you to refute endless nonsense from that same source. Because we’re debating in bad faith.
You don’t ever get to grill JFK Jr., because he’s not the scientist, you are. It’s not a debate it’s an interrogation.
Joe Rogan berated a primatologist for telling him that no, there is not a race of 6’ tall chimps who walk upright and sleep on the ground. These are not serious people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__CvmS6uw7E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__CvmS6uw7E

- fnimick 3y agoYou just described how right-wing "debate" works. There's a reason the most popular examples are Ben Shapiro going to a college campus and using rhetorical tricks to dunk on students who are prepared for an honest discussion, not intellectual subterfuge.
- thebooktocome 3y agoThis is also why Shapiro has cultivated the fine art of speaking in such a rapid-fire, grating tone. He wants listening carefully to him to be as uncomfortable as possible.

- chaoticmass 3y agoReminds me of how moon landing hoax and flat earth people debate.
- fsagx 3y agoI have no dog in this fight, but... Literally all Rogan or RFKJR would have to do is play one of the video mashups on youtube that show Hotez repeatedly contradicting himself.

Also known as the "Gish gallop" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop It's the reason why we can't have rational public debate and why dreams of "unfettered free speech" leading to an "enlightened marketplace of ideas" don't tend to pan out in reality. Speaking a falsehood is vastly easier than disproving a falsehood. And for any nontrivial topic, the uninformed public will not be qualified to discern which side is telling the truth.
