Friend, ahem, comrade of the stack, Yuri Bezmenov recently posted a note suggesting a UFC-style debate between several accounts/individuals on the Substack platorm.
I would LIKE to enthuse about the idea of 'debates' across vast philosophical divides but the reality - in my experience anyway - is likely to be a dialogue of the deaf (mostly just noisiness really). 'Debating' is one of those notions that gets sanctified as axiomatically a 'Good'....a bit like 'Protesting'. Truly effective communication across philosophical/political divides is less tractable.
Not a big deal but the last line of your post is yours; as posted it seems attributed to me, but only the preceding sentences were mine.
Thank you for pointing this out! It's fixed now.
