Debate is a huge thing. High school debaters are frequently reading arguments which utilize Deleuze, Foucault, Lacan, Fanon, and pretty much anyone you can think of.

Is... this what high school is like outside of the us??

    That's what my policy debate team was like, and which I think is representative of much of the teams around the US. It's definitely a strange dynamic. Kids aren't really given any sort of intro to all these thinkers and they are then thrown into the muck as listed in that quote. I think a big part of it is college debate spreading its influence down into high school.

    Can't say it's the healthiest thing, you hear a lot of stories about kids who get their brain fried and later take up hard drugs.

    In the other hand there's the non-k teams who all end up as politicians.

    Trying to understand this while also suffering from both poor sleep and too much Benedryl feels like an out of body experience

    Lmao just be happy anybody at all is interested in your navel gazing bullshit.

    I tried to read some Deleuze but couldn't get past the first few pages it felt like reading complete gibberish, why do they have to write like that? Are there really no easier ways to express the same ideas?
