Great to have Dr. John Patrick on the show along with Shane Patrick who are the founders and organizers of the Sustainability Summit, an educational event for university students that challenges them to work together to create powerful real-world solutions for issues facing public lands via the power of argumentation and debate. In this conversation it might be easier to list what we don’t talk about, but the conversation is wide-ranging. We discuss the problems with tournament debate, what publication of the results of a debate event might look like, and the role of debate education in our moment.

First of all, welcome to Dr. Sarah Evans who joins In the Bin after a very long and protracted negotiation process involving many agents, lawyers and other talent scouts. I hope she joins again soon!On this episode I talk about how a recent, kinda-dumb AI image gave me a lot to think about and how I finally have reached the conclusion that although my interests in teaching debate and the tournament debate folks were never aligned, they are actually at cross purposes.We also talk about AI in higher education. Sarah recently worked on AI scholarship in Brazil and has excellent perspective on AI in everything from grading to assignment design. We briefly talk about the recent MIT committee findings on AI and college assignments.The Sophistic Take: Rhetoric, Debate, and Argument Today is a reader-supported publication.
