Extra material – A sit-down after the debate with Andrew Kliman and Per Bylund
[Speaker 1]
We're meeting here, this is the day after the debate, to wrap up a few loose ends and hopefully to have a more relaxed back and forth discussion and not be confined to 15 minute talk limits or anything like that.
And our hope is maybe to find some common ground and to hone down where the differences lie between libertarianism and marxism and between professor belands uh... philosophy and politics and economics and professor climates What were your, now that it's the day after, what are your just general thoughts on the debate and are there things that you wanted to have said but didn't have the time to, or were there things that confused you, or just, you know, general impressions?
[Speaker 2]
Um, well I was pleased to see so many people turn out and I uh... learn you know i've learned that's unusual and uh... you know i think it's a good thing that uh... people are looking from outside of the standard uh... constraints of politics in the standard lines of debate being a participant uh... and in particular uh...
being in a debate libertarianism which uses a whole different language and comes at things from a whole different vantage point. It was very hard for me. So I was focused, you know, very definitely on what I had to do. And I couldn't sort of like absorb the general scene. So I think the audience and the people viewing Get Home probably have a better feel for what happened than I did.
[Speaker 3]
I think I share that view. And the structure of the debate sort of didn't help clarify either because we started with 15 minutes each sort of expressing our standpoints, our positions. And I think we were both cut off because we wanted to continue talking and explain some. I went through maybe three quarters of the notes that I had, which left a lot a bunch left to talk about after that, but then you had already responded and then I wanted to respond to you.
So we sort of started just going part of the distance and then responding to our parts or partial arguments. I would have wanted to see a little more back and forth to just for clarification to show where we agree, because I think there is a lot that we do agree on, especially on the injustice of contemporary whatever you want to call it, the system.
