My debate level is 1, you know
What's up with my dad always trying to debate me whenever he has free time? He really gets into it. He'll ask, 'What do you think about this?' but the topics are usually philosophical stuff like the trolley problem, psychology, unresolvable issues, or the relationship between law and human rights, so I can't give him the ideal answer he's looking for because I'm not that smart. I'm the type to think, 'That person probably sees it that way,' about someone's opinion and I don't like to deny others' views unless they're wrong. Also, debates are genuinely tiring for the brain, so it's a hassle. When I'm feeling lazy, I just say that, but I guess I'm nice since I go along with it about 90% of the time. But I think he just enjoys wordplay and aimless conversation; he seemed really happy when I threw back a slightly off-kilter question. And usually, the conclusion ends up being, 'Humans are foolish creatures and should be wiped out.' He replied, 'That's correct,' so I guess so (whatever). No matter the topic, we debate based on human-made rules (like laws), so humans are the root cause. Well, it's funny how he looks like he has indigestion with that conclusion, though. But it's wonderful to always have something that sparks your curiosity and interest, Dad.
