She DESTROYED This Debate With One Question

Описание: Ever feel like someone is wrong in a debate, but you can’t quite explain why? In this video, Professor Bogdan Popescu (John Cabot University, Rome; formerly Princeton & Oxford) breaks down Socratic reasoning and shows how simple, well-placed questions can quietly expose weak arguments — without yelling, sarcasm, or personal attacks.

Using a viral Jubilee debate on women’s happiness and the sexual revolution, we’ll see how one interlocutor (Zena - ‪@zinaaweenaa‬ ) systematically:

Clarifies definitions
Asks for explanation instead of confrontation
Follows claims to their logical consequences

By the end, you’ll see how just asking calm, precise questions can make even confident debaters tie themselves in knots.

🎯 What you’ll get:
The 3 core pillars of Socratic reasoning (in plain language)
How to start any debate by clarifying key terms
How “I’m not sure I understand” is a power move, not weakness
How to test a claim by asking: “If this were true, what else would follow?”
