Motion Analysis and Burden Identification
Here is an upload of a very old recording I did in the middle of a manic state. Do I remember everything I said? Not really. But do I trust in the content anyway? Yes. hahahaha
This episode is all about the fundamentals of reading a debate topic, how to get to the heart of a debate, and how to break up ideas into flowcharts that can be followed down the line.
This recording is based on a powerpoint created all the way back in 2015, that has gone through many evolutions and changes as time has gone by. I hope you enjoy.
