Intelligent debating is the conflict that you are trained to deal with when you are little. I believe the common term for this idea is "arguments". The "resolution" is basically deciding a winner. We are animals. It's this high and mighty feeling that people get that makes them think they are above animals, when we are really on the same level. There is no rising above conflict. It will always be there. The only way to settle something is through conflict. The only animals I can think of with no internal conflict among themselves are not humans, but bees. But is that something we really want to model ourselves after? They exist in a zombified hive state. All they do is what they were built to do. Sure, they don't fight, but that's because they can't. Imagine a human society in which the only thing you do in life was what you were born to do with no questioning and no free will of your own, doesn't sound like the "paradise" everyone thinks a peaceful society would be like, is it?
