24:15 Yes, that’s literally Andrew Wilson’s entire debate strategy: purposely misunderstand and argue about definitions long enough that you never actually get to the debate, run out the clock, and then say you won in your closing. Guy must be an Andrew simp.
This guy...We use functional things in order to get to the moral results that we ideally want morally for society. We want people to not get killed (moral ideal) ->> fund police (functional action to achieve said moral ideal) .
Little Jay’s analysis is deeply flawed and foolish. He claims some men are CEOs, therefore all men are better than all women.
He also falsely claims some TED Talk from about 10 years ago proves an overwhelming majority of CEOs are women, but that can’t mean anything good about all women.
Worst of all, he’s Gish Galloping.
The Gish Gallop is a debating technique where one party presents a large number of arguments, often quickly and without sufficient evidence, to overwhelm the opponent and the audience.
Named after creationist Duane Gish, who frequently used this strategy, it aims to create the appearance of a stronger case by flooding discussions with information.
Key Characteristics:
- Rapid Fire: The user delivers multiple points in quick succession, making it difficult for the opponent to respond effectively. - Minimal Evidence: Arguments are often made without thorough support, relying on the sheer volume rather than the quality of the points. - Distraction: The sheer number of claims can distract from the main issues or more substantive arguments made by the opponent.
Examples:
1. Debate Context: A debater might bring up several unrelated criticisms of their opponent’s position, making it impossible for the opponent to address each one adequately.
2. Public Discussions: In online forums or comments, someone might throw out a series of claims about a topic without providing citations, aiming to confuse or sway readers rather than inform.
How to Counteract Gish Gallop:
- Focus on Main Points: Instead of trying to refute every claim, pick the most significant ones to address. - Request Clarification: Ask the person to elaborate on specific claims, which can slow down the pace and expose weaknesses in their arguments. - Stay Organized: Keep responses structured to counter various elements systematically rather than getting lost in the barrage of claims.
Recognizing and understanding the Gish Gallop can enhance critical thinking and foster more productive discussions in debates.
Little Jay cherry picked 1000s of years of history to point out like 7 women who he says wrecked society, but refuses to blame systemic failures caused almost entirely by men.
