Shadowing-Übung: How to debate a stupid person | Jonny Thomson - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video
Lektion wird erstellt...
1
So there's a great quotation which has been floating around the internet for a very long time now, from the earlier days of the internet, and it says that debating an idiot is like playing chess with a pigeon.
2
You can play as well as you want, but the pigeon will jump on the board, it'll crap on the pieces, and it'll go back to its flock declaring victory.
3
When you're debating somebody who is stupid in the sense of Bonhoeffer, they don't question their own beliefs, and they are unwilling to accept any contrary position to what they actually believe.
4
they're playing by different rules you might approach them with facts
5
and the most logical arguments you can possibly devise
6
but they will see you as an enemy they will see
7
you as an other they will see you as a kind
8
of temptation in aristotle's rhetoric he actually makes a distinction between three different types of persuading somebody
9
or three different ways that people often come to believe something he talks about logos
10
which is rationality it's reason and it's using good debate and facts and evidence.
11
He talks about ethos which is somebody's character, their reputation, their status and ability to persuade you.
12
And he talks about pathos which is emotions, he talks about feelings.
13
And Aristotle even in the ancient Greek world, this is you know the epitome of the rational philosopher,
14
he is well aware that logos plays second place to your ethos and your pathos as well.
15
So if we pull it up to the modern time the same thing is at play here, that when you are debating somebody, you may think that you are both playing by logos.
16
That if I lay out my argument in premises to a conclusion, if I lay out all of the evidence, this person is going to bow to me and say, well done, you are so brilliant,
17
your position is better, and I will believe what you are saying.
18
And what Bonhoeffer is saying about the stupid person, the pigeon on the chessboard, is that they don't even care about the logos.
19
They care about the ethos, they care about the pathos.
20
And so you need to play it according to their game
21
if you're going to have any kind of proper debate and discussion.

Über diese Lektion
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
