Philosopher Stefan Molyneux debates bringing back the duel after a caller says legal combat would stop liars, scammers and slander and build more trust among men. Stefan agrees two people can choose to fight without breaking rights, but winning does not prove you are right, families get hurt, the powerful would rig the rules, and they later look at how democracy favors looters over producers.
