Here’s the first question of the article:
I think you should have a moderator or someone keeping track. Like, one participant can keep track of the points and what to talk about. I think you should also have some experience with debates—well at least one person. That’s cuz maybe you might both not know what you’re doing and that might make the debate not successful.
I already read ahead but I think you should have things that help with achieving the debate’s goals. You should have a topic in mind to debate about. Maybe it’ll be good to also have a rationality method cuz how will you have your work checked? Like, if people are there to be convinced about the points, it would be good to be rational so the audience can understand.
Also when the quote asks what you should have before a debate, do all the answers fall under prerequisites? Like, having some kind of knowledge would count as a prerequisite for the debate. What about like physical tools? Like, maybe debate tree software? Is that a prerequisite too? What about people for the debate? Like, a moderator. Are they prerequisites too?
