A short discussion about debate and civil discourse and some unique analysis on the importance of discourse within fan-doms.
After this discussion an intercollegiate debate on a pertinent topic but will be interesting enough to attract a crowd and provide for deep passionate debate giving debaters freedom to link in several philosophical frameworks to the fandom.
The debate will be: This house believes that governments in a post-scarcity society should not redistribute wealth.
We will finish off the panel with a Q&A and will include a team of seasoned debate professionals who can answer high school students questions about which colleges have debate teams or how to start a debate team at their school. We can also answer college students’ questions about how to start a team and for everyone else, invite them for future debates at conventions.
