Smart glasses should exist even if they creep people out.

Daily Debate #586: "Smart glasses should exist even if they creep people out.". You are arguing FOR the motion. Your opponent: Richard Feynman.

Proposition: For Stricter Centralized Controls Debate Motion "Government funds should be managed with stricter centralized controls rather than decentralized discretion."

You're arguing *for* stricter centralized control? That's backwards. Centralized power rots every time—look at the Soviet Union, or any bloated bureaucracy sitting on money meant for schools. Decentralization lets communities actually know where their dollars go. Why trust distant bureaucrats over local accountability?

Your Soviet Union example proves my point, not yours. The USSR collapsed because power was fragmented among competing regional interests with no unified oversight—exactly what decentralization creates. Local accountability means wealthy districts fund their schools while poor ones crumble. Centralized controls ensure every kid gets the same baseline, regardless of zip code. That's not bureaucratic rot, that's equity.

You're confusing two different things. The USSR collapsed because power was *concentrated*, not fragmented—Stalin starved millions through centralized control. And your equity argument flips reality: centralized systems create uniform mediocrity, not equality. When Washington controls education funding, every school gets the same bad policy. Decentralization lets poor districts experiment, innovate, actually *compete* for better results. Rich suburbs don't need central permission to fail their kids—they do it anyway. Why should we handicap everyone to that level?
