Denying real expertise is usually down to jealousy.
Ergo Meta-space { Metaphysical-1/spirit-1 } mind/intellect/concept ego * i *

1} common identification of truth,

2} rational, logical common sense is 2nd level of approach once a common identification is not reached,

3} win-win resultant is the true winner of any debate in a humanity that is headed for extinction within 210 years { approx. }.

1 - Establish common ground

2 - Never disqualify your opponent

3 - Only your opponent can grant or deduct points - scores can never go below zero

I agree on these points:

  • Use logic.
  • The best debates are the ones that force you to learn something new.
