Another fun episode in the can! As always we brought you 3 debates, the motions were:

• Lydia: Visibility leads to Equality!

Today we debated themes as far apart as bringing back extinct species on one hand and the question of NFT powered bubbles or travel bans to safe the environment on the other… Also we derailed the trivia section, but in a good way

• Sebastian: NFTs are just another bubble waiting to burst!
• Lydia: We should not bring back extinct animals!
• Dirk: Let’s make sure we never revert back to old habits after COVID – less business travel and work from home need to stay!

Debating motions:

• Dirk: Teenagers should be allowed to vote!
• Lydia: Experts, not politicians should rule!
• Sebastian: No one will stop China from clawing back Taiwan!

And – Trivia!

Another joint debating episode with Lydia, Sebastian and Dirk. Our motions:

Are universities outdated? Is political branding dangerous? Are vaccination passports undemocratic?

And, most importantly, what is red vs blue?

Our two debaters meet this time to ponder life’s big questions and to find out if clubhouse is worth trying…

2debate is back in your ears, this time with a third debater and three amazing motions!

• Should companies like twitter really be allowed to silence Trump?
• Is closing borders nothing but theater for the electorate?
• Is it really ok to put a man with a very weird penis in the center of a childrens cartoon show?

Lydia, Sebastian and Dirk don’t quite agree on their positions but we had a blast arguing and hope you can hear that. Just hit the “Debate with us” Link near the title or write directly to mail@2debate.eu to let us know what you think!

This episode is different. Instead of debating Sebastian and Dirk decided to look back on 99 debates and 5 special episodes and speak about what’s next for 2debate…

Today’s episode looks at the trend called “social scoring” where ‘good’ behavior earns positive scores and ‘bad’ behaviour is ‘punished’ with lower scores. Now, Sebastian will argue that this will be a force for good in the world while Dirk thinks this may be decremental to freedom, democracy and society at large… It is up to you to decide who had the better arguments.

Links mentioned in the episode:

• Black Mirror episode on social scoring (‘Nosedive’)
• 2debate motion “Rating everything is toxic!” (2d65)
