Do you want to do a debate on youtube? I'm looking for polite, truth-seeking participants.

This is a crosspost, probably from LessWrong. Try viewing it there.

I had another idea I had that might go with this:
Let debaters think for a moment (~20 seconds) before responding.
Then edit out the blank spaces in post-production (I think there are tools for this for audio at least).
I think this will get you more well-thought-out and coherent responses, and help bring in debaters that are logical and informed, but not quick on their feet.

I'm tentatively interested in participating in some of these debates. That'd depend on details of how the debates would work or be structured.

I really like the idea, it's something I think I'd enjoy listening to.
If people are interested, should they DM you? Do you have a form?
Also, how much prep. time if any would you anticipate for a debater? And how informed/expert would you want a debater to be?
