As far as the topic of the debate is concerned, you have a great advantage. I believe you have already read the arguments made by everyone above.
Then I will not say more about these aspects. ,
The opponent is indeed more difficult, but they will not be easily captured
So, let me remind you, guess where the opponent may start to find your loopholes, you can Be prepared:
First of all, the other party’s argument is that “facts do not necessarily speak louder than words.” Therefore, as long as they can convince everyone that in some specific situations, rhetoric has defeated facts, they will be The argument was successful (although the judges and the audience may not support them because of these few special cases, but we should also be careful that some judges sympathize with the weak and give more points to the opponent)
For example, sometimes, eloquence It can temporarily blind the vision and create a "fait accompli", or sometimes the "fact" itself is unclear. The most famous ones are the two great strategists of the Warring States Period, Su Qin and Zhang Yi, who relied on their eloquence to Successfully traveled around the major vassal states
These arguments are easy to deal with. The other party may also try to undermine your foundation from the beginning and use "facts" to make a fuss (use the scientific principles of nature to argue with you). , that is impossible), but some "facts" can indeed be overturned,
For example:
As the saying goes: "Seeing is believing, hearing is believing." In fact, even what you see is not necessarily true. As for hearsay, it is often further from the truth.
According to the historical book "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", when Confucius traveled around the country, he was trapped in the wilderness several times in the state of Chen. As a result, he did not eat for seven days and was so hungry that he lay in the car in a daze. . At this time, disciple Yan Hui ran around to get some grain and rice, and quickly made a fire to cook. When the rice was about to be cooked, wisps of aroma wafted out. Confucius couldn't help but look up and happened to see Yan Hui grabbing a handful of rice and stuffing it into his mouth. After a while, the rice was ready. Yan Hui first served a bowl and presented it to his husband respectfully. Confucius pretended not to have seen Yan Hui steal the food, sat up and said, "I saw my father in his sleep just now. If this meal is clean, I would like to use it to honor his old man first."
" No, no, this is not clean. When I was cooking, some smoke fell into the pot. It would be a pity to throw it away, so I took it out and ate it." Yan Hui said hurriedly. Only then did Confucius know the truth about "Yan Hui stole the food". He was very emotional and immediately called his disciples to him and said: "What you believe is your eyes, but the eyes are especially untrustworthy; what you rely on is the heart, and the heart is especially untrustworthy. Disciples Remember, it is not easy to know people!"
Obviously, Confucius learned a profound lesson from his misunderstanding of Yan Hui: He clearly saw Yan Hui eating secretly, but he was actually removing the impurities and serving them as kosher food. Teacher, it can be seen that "the eyes cannot be trusted"; Confucius usually trusted Yan Hui the most and praised his noble character many times, but now he also had doubts, which shows that "the heart is not trustworthy." It can be seen from this that the understanding of true intelligence and wisdom , which can only be obtained after repeated practice and verification.
It can be seen that some "facts" do not even need to be "argued", so they are unreliable...
For example, some people mentioned above (these above) My dear friend, I'm sorry, it's not directed at you. It's just assuming that the poster agrees with your point of view and uses it in the debate. How will the other party respond?)
1: Crime pays attention to evidence, and evidence is the fact... ...(Is the evidence really the fact? Before new evidence comes out, "the evidence is the fact", but if new evidence is discovered, another fact may be inferred. Otherwise, the law will not have "remand for retrial" "This has been said)
2: Hearing with the ears is false, seeing with the eyes is true... ("Hearing with the ears is false, seeing with the eyes is true". The above example of Confucius can already illustrate: Seeing with the eyes may not necessarily be true. Be true! )
3: No matter how many words you use to argue that the sun will rise from the west, the sun will still rise from the east the next day. You don’t need to say anything, the facts can overturn your words.``( Standing on other planets, the sun may indeed rise from the west)
The above shows that facts are subject to specific conditions, and sometimes they may even change...
You may think this is nonsense. Indeed, the other party knows that they cannot defeat you in a formal battle, so you must prevent them from harassing you, disturbing the situation, and fishing in troubled waters...
In fact, if we simply talk about this debate, As long as you don’t make big mistakes, it’s reasonable to win. However, from a thinking point of view, you can still give it a try. Based on the other party’s situation, think about how the other party will make the final fight. , this will be more helpful to you in future games
==========
Also, it suddenly occurred to me that the other party might say that since the facts Speaks louder than words, so why is this debate contest happening? There is no need to "argue" about anything in the world!
The reason why the debate competition is held is to make the truth more clear during the exploration of both sides of the debate. Just put an example there and everyone will understand it? Of course not. If someone with clear thinking and good eloquence and literary talent could analyze it for everyone, wouldn't it be easier for everyone to understand the ins and outs of the truth?
So, from this aspect, eloquence is far better than "presenting facts"
The above is because I want to break my head and think that your opponent may launch an attack. From the angle,
It is indeed not easy for them, haha
