If we entered our beliefs and arguments into databases, there are many features of relational databases that could help us come to better conclusions


  1. If our beliefs and arguments were entered into a relational databases, we could: 
    1. tag arguments as either a reason to agree or disagree with a particular belief. This would be beneficial because: 
      1. We could post the results so that reasons to agree or disagree with a conclusion would be on the same webpage.
      2. It would be beneficial to have all the reasons to agree and disagree with a belief on the same page.  
    2. assign scores to arguments
    3. assign scores to beliefs, based on the score of the arguments for and against the beliefs
    4. assign scores to beliefs, based on other beliefs that are used to support or oppose them. For instance the belief that the middle class should get a tax break, has many reasons to agree or disagree with it, and it can also be used as a reasons to support or oppose other beliefs, like the belief that we should support politicians who agree or disagree with a middle class tax cut. 
    5. tag them with intelligent meta data, to allow computers to help organize the argument for us.
