The Problem
Almost anyone can have a website today. Websites are megaphones for ideas. Websites offer places for discussion and debate. But what is the quality of the discussion and debate? What is the quality of the ideas being advanced? Are discussions on your website platform a sloppy mixture of fact and fiction? Do people routinely use sophistry or bad-faith reasoning in discussions? Do people use projection, stereotyping and over-generalizations? Are people frequently unclear, imprecise, inaccurate, illogical, superficial, narrow, and unfair in their communications with others? Do people routinely cherry pick information that fits their own viewpoint or agenda? Are people easily swayed by distorted political-advocacy journalism? Are people bringing narrow-minded readings of the evidence to their discussions?
