Relax, It’s a Joke

This April Fool’s week, I implore you to prank your friends, family, and even yourself in the best way possible: challenge a deeply-held belief. I highly recommend one of the lively debates put on by Open to Debate formerly known as Intelligence Squared U.S. . More than 100 debates are archived with both video and audio at intelligencesquaredus.org with provocative topics ranging from ‘when it comes to politics, the Internet is closing our minds,’ to ’embrace the Common Core,’ ‘the rich are taxed enough,’ ‘legalize assisted suicide,’ and ‘liberals are stifling intellectual diversity on campus.’
