Sebastian: The Olympics should be cancelled! Dirk: Technology will make professional photographers obsolete! Lydia: Visibility leads to Equality!
episode 104: NFTs of extinct stuffed animals
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 :-)
episode 104: Nephelococcygia
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!
episode 102: Life after death in the never-ending clubhouse?
Our two debaters meet this time to ponder life's big questions and to find out if clubhouse is worth trying...
episode 101: Twitter, Borders, Ukulele and Alpacas!
2debate is back in your ears, this time with a third debater and three amazing motions! Was twitter right about banning Trump? Is closing borders accomplishing anything? Is it ok to show a cartoon about a guy with a rope-like penis on chrildrens TV? Plus: Ukulele and Alpacas! Lydia, Sebastian and Dirk don't quite agree on their positions but we had a blast arguing and hope you can hear that.
episode 100: 100!
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...
episode 99: 2d99 - Social scoring will make the world better!
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.
