Social media posts may be a highly inaccurate representation of a person, but a subjective interpretation of a body part contains very little, if any, useful information about a person. Try offering Google or Facebook a trade; all the information they've harvested from your social media activity in exchange for a good long look into your eyes.

I find it distracting that many of the debaters will read off essays rather than look at the audience. In many presentations in the sciences, it's bad form to read the notecards or to read off powerpoint slides. I expected many of them to have already memorized their arguments and be prepared for opposition. I need someone to present their stance and to explain their arguments as if they are teaching and talking to me. The essay should only be used if they get lost.

@@Adam-hb6lw I know I posted 2 years ago now so views may change a bit. I feel like a debate is more about the best experienceable outcome for the facts being presented. I dont really see it as some facts are better than others as most facts are equally valid. But some facts are more appropriate for the present situation than others. It explains the reason behind multiple governing parties instead of just having one party alone. So essentially you're right

Personally, I think he more showed the effect of social media on the person than on relationships. His points were valid but needed to be explained and the negative effect on relationship, identified and evidence been given. His public speaking is fabulous, but I believe it’s so good that it’s covering up some of the holes or irrelevance in his argument. Please include your opinion below after rewatching to see if you can understand my points.
