Luke's ENGLISH Podcast - Learn British English with Luke Thompson · Debating Skills in English 🗣️ (with Ray Addam) [996] · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

Well, a response that comes to my mind is, have you ever heard of that?

I think it's like one of these questions that they ask in religious and moral education in schools here.

They give the example of the Holocaust and you have some Jews hiding in your basement and then a Nazi officer opens the door and says, are there any Jews hiding in here?

I mean, if you tell the truth, then people are going to die.

And if you lie, then they get to live.

So it's...

Or your friend is hiding from a murderer or hiding from a psycho ex-girlfriend.

And she says, where is he?

Are you going to say, he's there?

Great, that is Socratic questioning.

Another thing you can do is ask them for evidence.

Like there's a burden of evidence.

So you can say, you know, this thing is always stupid.

This thing is always wrong.

This politician is completely evil and is always terrible.

Or, you know, whatever their emotional argument is, you can Socratic question and say, oh, why do you say that?

What's led you to that conclusion?

Is that always true or sometimes true?

But you can also ask them, oh, what's your source for that?

Or what's your evidence?
