I'm not sure he's advocating for it, just pointing out that it's true.


> My takeaway, I guess—parents, make your kids do debate!

He's encouraging parents to make their kids learn this skillset. He is absolutely advocating for it.


He's saying "this makes you more likely to win at the game, perhaps you want to teach your kids this skill so they can win." He is not saying "the game is fair."


don't hate the player, hate the game. easier to tweak personal actions to address the world as it is than to rant against how the world doesn't work per your ideals. at least this guy is self aware enough to admit there is some amount of bullshit in what he says. I am more concerned with people who refuse to admit this, or worse, genuinely don't believe it.


That is absolutely not the same thing. You have to play the game by the rules, that user is just telling you how to win.
