There is a reason why in courts of law, experts that are called on to testify over facts in front of people who are not experts on the fact have to bring their curriculum vitae and their resume and provide sources to prove how they are experts in this field.

Because I know I can talk about just about any topic and sound like I know what I'm talking about when I really don't and if I can do it I'm willing to bet half the rest of the world could do it too.

I would love to actually see debates between experts in the field on topics that I know little about but I don't know a good place to find that kind of quality content.

Like here's a good one, how does magnetism work?

Like, I'm cut above some people in that I understand that it has to do with the field alignments of the electrons in ferromagnetic particles, and how when those particles are in the correct alignment the electromagnetic fields of each individual atom end up amplifying each other, standing on the shoulders of giants, one wave sitting on top of another wave sitting on top of another wave where their peaks keep adding up.

Great. I got that much.

But what is it about that that causes them to draw one another together? What is it about them that causes them to induce electron movement and electromagnetic braking force in semi-ferromagnetic materials? I don't know. I would love to hear experts tell me the things that I don't know about and to tell me where the current points of disagreement are based on the best measurements that we've been able to take so far but I do not know where to go to find that information.

If you pay close attention, Feynman modestly states that magnetism is a fundamental force that is not well understood. He can only tell you that it exists as fundamental force, the roots of which are the origins strong nuclear interaction. He also says that the relationship between gravity and electromagnetism is also unknown.

He does a great job explaining it and he is super honest. All of which to say, ICP was right all along.

From the article, reasons debate is poor method to arrive at truth about scientific concepts:

  • false equivalence: in this case, it suggests there’s as much good science to support avoiding vaccines as there is to support getting vaccinated — when in fact, the scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports vaccination safety and effectiveness.

  • audience disincentivizes changing your mind: debate disincentivizes participants from changing their minds. A debate’s performative aspect means its participants are rewarded for doing what best preserves their public image. For people whose public identity is strongly tied to holding specific beliefs, that means standing their ground — not learning something new, which they may see as signaling to their audience that their identity is on shaky ground.

  • audience incentivizes drama: debate incentivizes debate participants to do whatever it takes to draw in and retain an even bigger audience. “You want drama, you want something that people are going to click on and be like, ‘Oh, my god,’” said Limaye. The interior process of learning isn’t the most likely thing to elicit that response; debate highlights are far more likely to include snappy retorts than thoughtful murmurs. A participant who scores points off the other guy is most likely to gain followers and fame.

What is really driving me crazy about this whole situation is that people keep calling Peter Hotez, a man who helped develop a patent-free, easy-to-manufacture vaccine so poor countries can protect their people from COVID and he's being accused by Rogan bros of being in the pocket of "Big Pharma." How the hell do major pharmaceutical companies benefit from a patent-free vaccine?

Hotez should be hailed as a hero. Instead, he's being dragged through the mud because he won't get into a shouting match with RFK Jr. on Rogan's show.

Conspiracy theories mean nothing at this point. Misinformation means whatever the gov, health corp or tech corp says it is.

And when the "misinformation" turns out to be true it's promptly ignored and the goalposts are moved or narrative reframed.

The absolute human rights abuses perpetrated in the name of covid policies while politicians where following none of the BS they imposed unto others was staggering.

But hey, that's not even arguing about the harms of lockdowns, the inefficacy of Vaccines, the violence of enforcement and encroachment of civil rights, the total lack of debate, which you and other authortiarians.happily push. The calls for death, harm and even camps for those who dissented.

The dehumanization and censorship in a dark period of history. Many regret their absolutely support but there's still plenty of fanatics like you who want to keep the blinders on.

A debate would not be at all productive though. Firstly it would give credibility to the antivaxx side, make it seem like it was roughly as credible as vaccine science. Secondly (and more importantly) Debates as a format are heavily biased towards whoever can blurt out the most talking points as quickly as possible – it takes a long time to deconstruct and debunk misinformation and by the time you've finished taking apart one thing your opponent has already spewed out 25 other lies. By the time the debate has ended the scientist will not have had time to take apart everything the anti-vaxxer said, and will therefore seem like they lost the debate.

The best thing to do is to not engage in their debates.

It's all about the forum. Public debate in a fair and properly moderated forum like Intelligence squared = legit. Debate hosted by him on his podcast = bullshit that would do more harm than good.

not how science debates work though, scientists don't get on stage to defend their "stance" on something. They write a paper containing all of their hypothesis and the tests they use to test said hypothesis and the conclusion of what exactly those tests prove. Debate has very little place in the real of science, because science actually is black and white. Something is true or false and has defined values that cannot be debated away.

Edit: When a scientist doesn't believe what another scientist has purported to be true, it is then his responsibility to evaluate the testing methodology and either find a test that disproves the first guy's theory, or a way to prove that his tests simply didn't prove what he says they did.

Yeah, the term "science debate" is almost an oxymoron. The scientific method is all about designing experiments that minimize bias to get at objective truths about the world. The end results are not opinions to be presented on a debate stage.

Encouraging others to not waste their time arguing qith stupid people is what an adult is expected to do.
