Insult Speedrun: Why We Don’t Debate Anymore

Remember when debates had full sentences, pauses, maybe even respect? Yeah, me neither. These days, we’ve traded dialogue for quickfire labels — “tanga,” “loser,” “DDS,” “Dilawan” — instant seasoning for our shallow arguments. In this episode, we unpack why real debate got replaced by verbal speedruns, why it feels good in the moment but leaves everyone dumber, and how we can crawl back to actual conversations. Spoiler: it’s harder than just pressing comment.
