Chapter 8: Playing with the game.
"Shut up!"
Principal Taylor. Williams slapped the table and yelled at the traditional campus.
The audience immediately fell silent...
The principal glanced at Liu Yi on the stage and said coldly.
"The game continues, please ask the opposing side to speak."
At this time, on the opposite side, Sophia frowned.
Her brain was racing, and her pen kept writing dialectic.
On the side, the opposing argument who was about to speak was a little at a loss, he stared intently at the note written by Sophia on his side, and stood up slowly.
"Give."
Sophia threw down the pen and quickly slipped the note into his hand directly past his teammates.
On the other side, Liu Yi unbuttoned his upper suit, leaned lightly on the chair, and looked at the opposite side with a playful expression.
"Very well, she's starting to get anxious."
Here, after the opposing side got the note, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to read the manuscript:
"The opponent's defense friend is completely out of nothing.
Money is only the basis for the development of society, not the master of everything, this sentence is not what Wilde said at all.
Please stop continuing to humiliate us in the game.
Moreover, the sentence you just mentioned that money is everything is a fallacy in itself.
This phrase translates to money that can trade everything.
Then I want to ask the other party, can money be traded for everything, does this cover all human emotions and perceptions?
Does money trading include people in everything?
So, do you think it's right to sell M?
In addition, the Oxford Dictionary has one of the most direct explanations for the word omnipotence, which is omnipotent.
The opposing defense friend clearly knew this, but deliberately concealed such an important explanation that was unfavorable to them.
And replace the meaning of the word omnipotence with other, less important parts.
This is the most typical sophistry that covers the whole with partiality. ”
After speaking, the opposing side glared at the five people on the positive side and sat down.
In the audience, the morale of the popular campus was also restored, and the students took the initiative to stand up and applaud.
Even, some people unceremoniously gave the middle finger to the traditional campus.
"Sophistry, you should go home!"
And the principal Taylor. Williams had to yell again at this time: "Shut up, whoever wants to stir up trouble again, get out of here!" ”
On the stage, the four people on the front side subconsciously regarded Liu Yi as their backbone, and all looked at him, hoping that he could continue to help his teammates.
But Liu Yi always had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he took a sip of tea unhurriedly.
It's good that the opponent's argument has now begun to bring personal emotions into it.
They used 3 rhetorical questions in a row.
In the debate arena, only the annoyed and angry contestants will hide the fact that their brains cannot think calmly by constantly asking rhetorical questions.
The argument on the other side has begun to stop pursuing the essence of the debate and its own position.
Instead, I blindly want to fight back, whatever you say now, I have to go back, I want to get back the face I lost just now.
That's probably the current mentality of the other side.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi put down the water cup and wrote something lightly on the paper.
In the audience, everyone can see that this debate is no longer a 5v5 team competition, but has become a show of personal strength for both sides to conclude the debate.
This kind of highly individualistic debate is exactly what Western students like to see the most.
Tomorrow morning, it will be the turn of the four debaters to speak.
But none of the referees and students in the audience urged.
They are all waiting, waiting for the-for-tat confrontation in the language of the two sides and the showdown in strength.
At this time, Liu Yi put down the pen and handed the note to his fourth defense.
The four debaters immediately stood up and read:
"Friend of the other side, our view has always been that money is omnipotent, not that money trades everything.
I am simply pointing out your erroneous point of view and refuting the reasonableness of your point of view by arguing that the author has also said that money is everything.
So, money and everything is a hat that you put on us.
Moreover, we have repeatedly emphasized that in the Oxford Dictionary, the interpretation of omnipotence has nine meanings.
We only need to prove here that money has an enormous, enormous, extreme function to meet the definition of omnipotence in the Oxford Dictionary.
At the same time, it also proves our position.
Obviously, you deliberately discarded the other eight meanings of the Oxford Dictionary, and only grasped the explanation of omnipotence to refute our point of view, how did it become our sophistry?
Okay, then even according to what you said,
We really covered up such an explanation that was extremely unfavorable to us.
Then you are covering up the other 8 interpretations of the Oxford Dictionary that are extremely unfavorable to you!
One against eight.
You are the quintessential sophistry of partiality.
I have to say that the logic of the opponent's defense friend is difficult to be self-consistent.
Frequently put forward the idea that it helps us prove that money is everything.
This makes me wonder if the opponent has been bribed by us before the start of the game.
Of course, being able to bribe the opposing side to argue about money is in itself proof of the idea that money is everything. ”
In fact, the game can already be over here.
The students in the audience who don't know why may feel that the two sides are fighting back and forth, and they don't know how strong they are.
But the referee's seat and Liu Yi knew it in their hearts.
The game is over.
Supreme Dialectic:
Others' argument is our point of view。
Arguments of others and our own opinions.
What does this mean?
It means that no matter how good the other party's argument is, it is just to prove my point.
To put it more simply, you're debating for me.
At this time, on the opposing table, Sophia looked pained.
She didn't know how to put pen to paper.
Because, every argument she writes next may be used by Liu Yi as a tool to counter her position.
Now she can no longer think calmly.
I don't dare to throw my arguments at will...
She was a little angry and a little powerless.
Sophia glanced at the clock above the concert hall.
Of the 50 minutes of the game, less than 20 minutes have passed.
"Are you going to lose?"
Sophia couldn't help but think like this.
She shook her head and began to recall the details of the game.
"No, my argument is obviously correct...... Oops, I fell into his trap! ”
"When?"
"Was it the moment when he wrote his judgment in the notebook?"
Yes, it was that moment.
Sophia then remembered that he first drew his attention by writing down his so-called judgment on himself in a notebook.
Take yourself out of the rhythm of the game.
Then, when he was just finding his rhythm, he suddenly launched an attack and verbally provoked himself.
In his anger, he threw out a logical point of view that was not rigorous.
Then, through these loose points, he successfully proved his position.
So what do you do next?
How to fight back against him?
Do you use the manuscript you prepared beforehand?
No, if you force yourself to argue the point of view you prepared now, you will have a strong sense of disobedience.
It is equivalent to admitting that all of my previous opinions are wrong.
It will make the audience have a sense of-for-tat detachment, thinking that they have been cowardly and forcibly changing the topic.
At that time, the other party does not need to respond to his current arguments, and just grabs the previous mistakes and does not let go.
But if you counter what he just said now, you will only make your logical mistakes continue to magnify.
All counterattacks are tools to deepen his position.
This person... It's horrible.
All his actions were expected by him.
He had mastered the rhythm of the game from the start...
No
Suddenly, Sophia recalled a hint of playfulness that had appeared on the corner of Liu Yi's mouth.
He... He's not controlling the tempo.
But... Playing with the game!
And at this time.
Liu Yi no longer pays attention to the game, but puts his hands in his pockets, leans on the back of the chair, and empties his brain.
Well, she no longer has the ability to think calmly as a debater.
The game is over.
So... When did you fall in love with debate?
Maybe in my previous life, I witnessed all the professors of the liberal arts colleges of Tsinghua University, staying up all night preparing arguments for senior Liu Rusheng and preparing for Kyoto University in Japan.
On that day's competition, Liu Yi was on the scene.
It was also the first time he had watched a debate tournament.
He vaguely remembered that day.
Liu Rusheng, a senior at Tsinghua University, first debated one dozen and four, throughout Kyoto University.
He used the supreme dialectic.
At that time, Liu Rusheng was a senior, with an elegant and easy-going demeanor, but his language was fine.
The Tsinghua students present were all excited, and the cheers broke through the sky.
I remember crying at the time...
So... When did you join the debate team?
It may be that day, when Senior Liu Rusheng personally found him and invited him to be the school team to conclude the debate.
I vaguely remember that he resisted everyone's criticism of him at that time.
Only one sentence remained.
"Although his knowledge is average, his thinking and reaction ability is average."
"But he's a natural rhythm master."
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yi's mouth.
If you didn't cross over, then you should be playing Haval right now, right?
True rhythm master, Liu Yi is online...
