The Debate Angle to the Free Marketplace of Ideas

I don't think that like the free marketplace of ideas and the correct answer is going to win out. That's just objectively untrue at this point. We've seen that sometimes the dumbest, most insane, most idiotic theories are the ones that actually get the most eyeballs. I'm under no illusions about how well debate works. Usually the person who's more charismatic and just more likeable or more competent ends up winning. It's really not the way to ultimately determine truth.
