Often these are ACX grant applications. I always turn them down. They\u2019re well-intentioned, sophisticated, and doomed. I appreciate that Internet arguments usually don\u2019t go well, that there are lots of ways to improve them, and that this is a worthy cause. But I\u2019ve also seen a dozen projects of this sort fail. Here\u2019s why I think yours will too: \u201cDebate\u201d almost never corresponds to mappable arguments. The simplest \u201csolve debate\u201d proposal is the argument map. Some technology helps people decompose arguments into premises and conclusions, then lets skeptics point out where the premises are wrong, or where the conclusion doesn\u2019t follow from the premise. But almost no real argument works that way. https:\/\/www.astralcodexten.com\/p\/your-attempt-to-solve-debate-will ","author_name":"Astral Codex Ten Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/sscpodcast.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
