Rice is supporting that insane psycho who thinks holding chalk and yelling “clueless” equals scientific inquiry. He’s also lying to undergrads, which is quite creepy.

I watched the debate and initially, I thought Dave was a little too on the nose with calling Tour a liar. But as the debate went on it was clear to me that the audience needed to understand that their man was incapable of telling the truth about the subject. Tour was a crybaby who just kept doubling down on his lies. Great debate, Dave.

Dave came as prepared as he could knowing he was facing someone who was just dancing to his base, and simply attempted to expose that fact by showing the pattern, knowing his work would stand scrutiny by those who were actually knowledgeable on the subject. I thought Dave did a great job, given this situation.

You don't need experience to get good at debates. The arguments will hold by themselves if they have evidence and reason. Watching Peterson vs Matt is like looking at 2 toddlers arguing. At this point debates are just ego competitions. Besides nobody is that open to a change of mind. If you are a scientist and you are telling facts that should be enough and people can think about what you just said, but at the moment the debate starts to get ideology in it it's just an ego showdown.

You could still have debate rules---e.g. every response is posted, length limits, etc. The issue I have with live debates is that it is much easier to make up BS than it is to debunk it. It takes time to do the research to debunk a thing. Also, it seems to reward quick-wittedness and on-the-spot charisma over the actual arguments for a position. In the past, such person-to-person debates were much more beneficial in a relative sense because the research was much more time-consuming. So the best option for the public was to have two real experts who have more facts than everybody else at their disposal present them in good faith. But now, research is easier. A video response could come quickly and still involve research and even links so that those viewing can fact-check the sources.

I like the way Dave argues, & I'm for civility when someone is being civil back. Lying, yelling, reputation-destroying, deliberately steering people away from the truth, trying to bully your religion's way into non-religious fields, dehumanization of opposing perspectives --- none of that is civil, & Dave's approach is warranted. The gift Tour gave him was a dominance move obvious to anyone who's been watching all the videos as this progressed. If you go back & watch his first video on Tour, Dave gives him so much benefit of the doubt, it's amazing to watch in hindsight how willing he was to give Tour grace. Tour proceeded to violently shred any splinter of goodwill or illusion of acting in good faith. Dave's responded according to Tour's provocations + escalations. As a culture, we need to learn how not to be manipulated by cheap appeals to politeness when the end goal of an argument is absurd or authoritarian or destructive lies --- they deserve scorn + outrage.

Is there a Patreon amount I can pledge where Aron Ra WILL come to my house and shave my cat? He is a floofer, he needs it before it gets too warm outside. And I am sure the discussion during the appointment would be epic and enjoyable.

I really hate that the moderator is heckling dave about being strong in the debate calling out the audeince etc. Dave never stop standing up strong against nonsense.

Please do a rebuttal to David Berlinski. I'm pretty sure he's a high high level intellectual yet he says things like "evolution is a secular myth"

So did your opinion on James back in the day about "not being a con-man" in your first video with him change? Just wondering.

I think the important point that Aron was trying to make about winning over the audience, is that the audience that were there in person are not going to change their minds, that is almost definitely true But it's not just people who are there in person that are watching the debate. It's everybody on the internet and everybody that watches it in the future, people who are on Dave's side people who are on Tour's side, and people who are genuine fence sitters. I understand that being respectful towards hecklers is difficult but it makes you look like the bigger person and it makes people who are skeptical of your worldview, subconsciously more willing to listen to your arguments. Even if you don't change their minds entirely, no one changes their minds overnight, and if showing them genuine respect, even when they're not showing you genuine respect gets them to concede a small point that you make, then that is a foot in the door to getting them to eventually change their mind, or at least be less extreme in their beliefs. Do the hecklers deserve respect? Absolutely not. Just because they don't deserve it though doesn't mean it's not smart to give it to them

Wait... Didn't this video come out weeks ago?

This video helped me understand what the hell was going on during this debate. Wow.,, they stacked the audience and Tour is a piece of work! I must admit i was like "woah, why is dave laying into this guy?'. Now it makes sense. The gift giving at the start is just maniulative.. considering tour has attacked dave previous to this.

Tour has been badmouthing Dave for years. I understand his irritation with him.

If i ever get into a DNA is code therefore creator argument. I would ask. What is code made of in computers. Its 1s and 0s. Is it impossible for 1s and 0s to to naturally fall or clump together to make a code? Of course its possible! I just don't understand why some people feel like life is meaningless if a magical man didn't create them in 7 days, vs a billion years of legos falling into the right place to give us this gift!!! Its far more wonderful to me than a simple answer of we are just a magic trick ......

Dave I desperately need you to make a video about "tuning your music to 432 hz because it matches the frequency of the Earth" 😂

Aron, you're supposed to pour the beer hard, not soft against the glass.

Damn Dave, I have wathed your content for the best of 3 years and the debunks are the ones bringing me back to your channel. I first watched you since one of my science teachers reffered me to one your tutorials on physics and biology.They were very helpful in my Junior High Science Classes and I watched your other content at my free time. I got invested in most of your debunks alongside Aron Ra's content. But the one series of debunks i cannot stop rewatching is good ol' Jimbo Tour.I probably did not understand many of the organic chemistry stuff in the Tour Debunks (but I think I am going to start watching your OrgChem stuff), but I watched all of it because I absolutely enjoy the comedy and cruelty of Jim's infantile bullshit. MY favorite part in the debate that i CRINGED on was when James Tour did a hasty damage control stunt when he praises you as a musician after he literally mocked you for being dramatic as a musician (assuming he knew that you called him out on it beforehand and shit his pants). But anyways, thank you for teaching me so much Science and all kinds of stuff and thank you Jim to making me more interested in OoL. Keep knocking them down Dave!

I hope you go into OoL outta spite + fascination & win a Nobel

Could this happen in response to unbiased moderators/fact checkers. Could the fact checkers be in another area or state, and not allowed to watch the debate, and when there is something that needs to be fact checked, the submitters have to phrase the question to the fact checkers in the most unbiased way, avoiding any possibility of bias because of the way the question was asked.

32:50 This guy could be a voice actor for kent hovind, that was accurate af.

I love Dave

"Shut up dog!"

Tone policing is bullshit. Do what you do, how you do it, Dave.

Aron really has to tell me what kind of beers he likes. Marc from Belgium.

Belgian Hefeweizen is my personal fav;) German ones too

Frustrating though it is, and we can see the boredom in your eyes sometimes, please know we love you and your work Mr Dave :)

8:03 “Imagine I’m on your couch an hour later” Me: “okay, I follow” “Imagine I’m dead” Me: :(

Aron acting like he doesn't go full james tour in debates lol. I love him though

He's wrong saying there were no terrestrial vertebrates three hundred million years ago. There were Amphibians during the Devonian 350 million years ago and reptiles started around 310 million years and strangely, within a million years of that, mammals started during the Carboniferous. Some of them survived the Permian Extinction 250 million years ago so that there were mammals scurrying about under the feet of the dinosaurs. Just check Wikipedia: type in "Devonian" and "'carboniferous." The Carboniferous was an oxygen rich time in which dragonflies evolved to be three feet long. Check it out on Wikipedia. Those dragonfly fossils are amazing. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Check it out.

Best frickin intro ever. Cheers to Aron's dog with a pint of the black stuff 🍻
