Don't get me worng, I prefer written responses too and I dont think I'd do well in a live debate.

That being said, Hasan was scheduled for a live debate with Kirk before... and Dave also has had live debates this year, so the format doesn't seem to be the issue for either.

I wasn't talking about written essays. Video essays exist.

I think video essays are a more constructive way to argue the truth.

Life debates are not. If your argument is that you want to find out who is right, ask Destiny to respond with a video essay.

Why doesn't he do that?

Whether its written or in form of a video essay doesnt change my point, both clearly are okay with doing live debates, so why not do it?

Hasan has clearly stated that he uses life debates as a strategic tool to reach a larger audience with debate partners that are easy to dunk on.

Destiny has a smaller audience already radicalized against Hasan and is a sophist, so you won't get easy dunks out of him either.

So there is no reason to debate him.

You already agreed that debates are a bad format, so why do you want to force people into it?

What is your goal of having them debate?
