About Me: | I'm interested in economics, math, and political science. Note: I've said a lot of dumb things and a lot of things I strongly and mildly disagree with in my time on the site. My former forum posts are rarely reflective of who I am today. |
Beliefs: | I'm a moral realist, preference utilitarian, and neoliberal. I like free markets, redistribution for the poor (because of diminishing marginal utility), somewhat-dovish monetary policy from independent central banks, and strong protections for animal welfare. I'm also sympathetic to effective altruist ideas. |

"Women" couldn't recognize EQUALITY if it slapped them in the face


In the next few rounds, I will put forward several SCENARIOS OF EQUALITY that "women" don't normally recognize or appreciate.

I refer to the few women (and fewer men) who make sweeping claims about "obvious and significant inequalities" between men and women--even when referring to present day USA. If you are one of these people,...
Does God exist?


No kritiks. "God" is defined as "a sentient, conscious entity that created the universe," or an "omnipotent, transcendent being." If I affirm either one of those definitions, I win; Con needs to negate both of those definitions. First round is for acceptance. BOP is shared....
In 2019 government should be of BJP


I think for the development of country like India we need a government that can take bold decisions. This is not a time when a government would survive only by protecting its vote bank or to win sympathy of a particular section. A leader should invest fund in the growth of country rather than his own future. Infrastructure of country should be developed so that we can stand proudly in front of world....
Abortion should be legal


Pro has to defend abortion being legal for some period of time during pregnancy. Con has to defend bans on all abortion except in cases where abortion is required to save the parent's life and in cases of sexual assault. First round is for acceptance. No new arguments in the final round....
The US should abolish affirmative action


Hayd must start in Round 1, and waive the final round. All rounds up until Hayd's Round 2 and my Round 3 should be copy/pasted from here (http://www.debate.org/debates/The-US-should-abolish-affirmative-action/1/)....
