I will be your debate coach in a philosophically tight manner

Hey there! My name is Zack and I'm a lover of debate, philosophy, speaking, and ethics. I've been analytical enough to challenge the world around me without hesitation, and this has awarded me the champion's title at the Yale APDA Tournament, 2024. That is the most successful intercollegiate debating society in North America and ranked third in the world. But what does the prize really mean if it stops at a title, rather than a continued sense of purpose?

Unlike how other "debate-coaches" on this platform put rhetoric first, I strictly put LOGIC first. I wouldn't teach, guide, or otherwise perpetuate any nonsense that you as my interlocutor wouldn't understand or believe in the logical consequences yourself.

I only want to teach you something that you can walk away from REGARDLESS of whether or not an audience would understand that you won in that moment. After all, what do you think pro-abolitionists were in the minds of others during the 1850s? Rhetorically weak per society's understanding, but philosophically strong in the long run. Persuasion doesn't necessarily happen in the moment, because it isn't adjudicated by applause. It's verified by coherence and time.
