Open to Debate · Is Parenting Overrated? (Encore) · 9 Sep 2026 podcast

Okay.

Mm.

Thank you, Robert Pluman.

And that's the resolution.

Parenting is overrated.

Here to make her closing statement against the resolution is um psychology professor at University of Texas, Paige Harden.

Thank you, Paige Harden.

And now to make her closing statement in support of the resolution, Professor of Psychology and Director of the Twin Studies Center at California State University of Fullerton, Nancy Siegel.

Thank you, Nancy Siegel.

And our final speaker, speaking against the resolution, author and parenting expert, Annie Plachette Murphy.

Thank you, Annie Plichette Murphy, and that concludes our closing statements.

And now it's time to learn which side you feel has argued most persuasively.

We want to ask you again to go to your mobile devices and vote for the second time.

And I want to remind you, especially people who are new to our debates, that we determine we name as our Victor the team whose numbers have moved up the most in the percentage point terms between the first and the second vote.

So it's not the absolute vote, it's the difference between the first and the second vote.

While you're doing that, uh I I wanted to say that uh I found this um r j uh as a lay person very accessible and really damn interesting.

And uh I I I also appreciated that

Throughout this debate you actually demonstrated a respect for each other and um you kept it civil and I think there are some very, you know, deep philosophical differences in terms of implications and policies, but uh which you know you explored to some degree, but without getting angry at each other, and I wanna congratulate you for doing it that way because it's so rare these days.

So thank you so much for the way that you all did this.

I wanted to ask our debaters, uh I'm just curious a little bit about uh I don't want to use the term brave new world, but let's talk about New World.
