It’s difficult to facilitate these SSEs. David does a terrific job—it’s kind of a sub niche.

I always enjoy the Hidden Claim variation of SE, thank you for sprinkling some in on your channel. The extra participant makes it much easier to guess the claim in this video, particularly as participants are responding to each other.

After watching this, I rewatched your older Hidden Claim video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3bN3S8thz8

The part I liked most in the original version was that I kept guessing the claim incorrectly. This allowed me to consider the same reasoning on two claims (the one I guessed and the correct one) and generated additional insight.

I like both HCSE variations. We need a larger sample size!

Interesting experiment although I think you should include the moderator if you're going to avoid telling them what the topic is. The way you do when people are on the opposite sides asking the question of what their answers are.

Yes. It's a duty (especially if the kid has a hair color that the parents don't like). Give the kid a good life. It's a small price to pay. Being happy is not enough. Kids need to be the best, so they can best solve problems like debt and space travel.
