Good debate is not just about becoming more persuasive. It forces you to listen, respond under pressure, and understand arguments you do not agree with.
Turn what you think into an argument another person actually has to answer.
Respond while the argument is happening, not after it is over.
You cannot answer an argument you have not understood.
Defending a position you do not hold forces you to understand how it works from the inside.
