Sam Harris on the Differences between Conversation and Debate

Final Thoughts on Chomsky : Sam Harris

The article above contains a 10 minute podcast that describes the difference between trying to having a conversation in order to learn and change opinions or beliefs and a debate where the goal is to win. It also highlights, yet again, the importance of intention. The entire thing is in response to an earlier blog post, which Sam published after having attempted to converse with Noam Chomsky.
