Good Info in a Biased World
I have recently discovered how to get a clear picture of an issue despite the rampant bias Steve loves to point out. It’s called a debate, and it’s wonderful.
Intelligence Squared U.S. brings Oxford-style debating to America — one motion, one moderator, three panelists for the motion and three against.
The latest topic is “Who’s To Blame For The Financial Crisis?” and recent debates include “Is Reducing Carbon Emissions Worth The Cost?” and “Do Guns Reduce Crime?”
Once people admit their biases, it becomes much easier to decide what is really going on, especially when they’re pitted against someone who is equally biased in the opposite direction.
