Do You Care About Truth… or Winning?

This essay argues that the pursuit of truth should be the foundation of all serious intellectual conversations, especially in the Information Age where facts can be verified instantly. It makes the case that debates should embrace AI as a real-time tool for fact-checking and clarification, shifting the goal away from winning arguments and toward discovering objective reality. Truth should not depend on wit, memory, or rhetorical skill, but on evidence, verification, and the willingness to update beliefs when confronted with new information.
