This was a shit show. Destiny and Vaush were predictably hypercritical of argumentation without citation from academic studies, and when statistics were provided, they dismissed them as irrelevant because they're intellectually disingenuous and wanted to rhetorically win the debate. They weren't open at all to inductive logic stemming from those statistics. Striker played into it and seemed as though he hadn't prepared much, switching tactics to anecdotal personal experience or attempting to convince by prima facie observation and reason, which was even easier to dismiss. The amount of interrupting was absurd, exacerbated by the weak moderator, and caused me to eventually tune out.
