                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p1">The claim is simple, but the consequences are enormous.</p>
<p class="p1">If the claim is true, then thoughts, emotions, memory, identity, imagination, mystical experience, and the sense of being a self are all ultimately products of physical processes.</p>
<p class="p1">If the claim is false, then materialism may be missing something fundamental about reality.</p>
<p class="p1">The defender must explain how consciousness can arise from matter.</p>
<p class="p1">The destroyer must explain why this relationship does not necessarily imply production.</p>
<p class="p1">Defend or destroy the claim.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p1">This arena is for the question of whether morality is discovered or constructed.</p>
<p class="p1">The claim is that moral truths do not exist independently of human minds, cultures, biology, history, or preference.</p>
<p class="p1">If the claim is true, then morality is something humans create, negotiate, inherit, and enforce.</p>
<p class="p1">If the claim is false, then some things are truly right or wrong, even if every society approves of the opposite.</p>
<p class="p1">The defender must explain why morality does not need objective truth.</p>
<p class="p1">The destroyer must explain where objective moral truth comes from, and how we could know it.</p>
<p class="p1">Defend or destroy the claim.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p1">This arena is for the question of whether human beings genuinely choose, or whether choice is only something we experience after causes have already done their work.</p>
<p class="p1">If the claim is true, then every decision, regret, achievement, crime, act of love, and act of cruelty came from prior causes extending beyond the person.</p>
<p class="p1">If the claim is false, then there must be some form of agency that cannot be reduced entirely to biology, environment, conditioning, and causality.</p>
<p class="p1">The defender must explain why choice only feels free.</p>
<p class="p1">The destroyer must explain where real agency enters the chain of cause and effect.</p>
<p class="p1">Defend or destroy the claim.</p>]]></content:encoded>
