Thanks for sharing, good luck with your hopes for this site.Having somewhat recently sworn off Twitter (it seems to have stuck this time and I feel much healthier for it) I realize I could never get from that site what I used to get out of debate back in my college days and the earlier days of the internet.
I would like to have intelligent arguments with people. I don't want a shouting match. I don't want to call people names or be called names.
I want to intelligently engage with people I disagree with in order to find the flaws in my thinking and/or strengthen my understanding.
I'm a socialist who would prefer not to have a state if possible but grant that it may be a necessary evil. I was an anarcho-capitalist from youth to middle age, but became a liberal after the 2007-2008 financial crisis. From there I began to move steadily to the left, finally becoming a socialist during the Trump years.
These days I fundamentally believe that people are more important than things, that a market is not always (or, possibly, ever) the best way to organize cooperation. I also distrust authority and hierarchy at any scale or in any sphere, public or private. I also don't agree that human beings are basically savage and cruel and that we need the power of violence to reign in our savage nature.
I was always afraid of finding myself in a realm where where you could never find a good fight.Having somewhat recently sworn off Twitter (it seems to have stuck this time and I feel much healthier for it) I realize I could never get from that site what I used to get out of debate back in my college days and the earlier days of the internet.

If Dragon Ball has shown us anything it's that your power level increases fastest when you seek out and fight the strongest opponents.I was always afraid of finding myself in a realm where where you could never find a good fight.
Well, I'm not trying to win any debate, although I am trying to win an election.If Dragon Ball has shown us anything it's that your power level increases fastest when you seek out and fight the strongest opponents.
