Reasons to Agree (and disagree)

I'm convinced we can craft online forums that elevate the quality of debates.

Good debates hinge on juxtaposing supporting and opposing viewpoints on the same issue. Often, the problem is not making a strong argument but neglecting counterarguments.

Thus, my forums will present both sides on a single page. Each argument receives a ranking influenced by various factors, including the number and quality of supporting or opposing reasons. Each reason, mirroring real-life discussions, stands as a mini-conclusion with its own set of pro and con arguments. For example, arguments about a president's effectiveness will spawn further layers of debate.

User ratings will play a crucial role, going beyond simple likes or dislikes to assess arguments' fairness, accuracy, and logical integrity, identifying specific fallacies like straw man arguments.

This multi-faceted evaluation culminates in a dynamic score for each argument. Arguments often underpin or challenge several conclusions with varying degrees of relevance.

Submissions will specify which conclusion an argument supports or contests, with options to argue for or against each connection.

My primary focus will be on non-controversial topics related to family life, showcasing how arguments evolve and intersect.
