A Systematic Way to Investigate Controversial Topics

nlite helps identify the top arguments for all sides in a controversy. The idea is that once the top arguments for all sides are identified, it will be much easier to make a decision.

What makes nlite different?

nlite does not use the commonly used up-vote and down-vote buttons to rank submitted content.

That is because this approach induces a bias towards early submissions; they get more visibility and thus more votes.

Instead, we use a pairwise comparisons based approach that ensures all submitted arguments are screened and assessed.

nlite never takes sides in controversies. It only helps identify the top arguments for all sides!

Examples
Ongoing Topics
  • Are the U.S. sanctions against countries like Iran and Cuba justified?
  • Which framework is preferred for Deep Learning, PyTorch or TensorFlow?
    • Closed Topics
  • Is Jesus God according to the Bible as it exists today?

    Don't engage in emotional, wasteful debates. Consider nliting the topics instead!

    People Are Talking!

    nlite helps replace the all-too-common emotional, unproductive debates with a setting where everyone can take the time to communicate their ideas based on sound reasoning.

    Here's an irony about nlite: Imagine you question its usefulness. Others may then ask you for your arguments, and they'll present theirs too for why they think it is helpful. Soon, things can get complicated, and to organize the discussion, you both may find it most convenient to create a page on nlite.

    So, your attempt to prove nlite is not useful may end up proving that it is indeed helpful!

    One aspect of nlite that I find particularly useful is its ability to organize discussions in a nested manner. For example, when examining the topic of abortion, one can refer to a page that discusses the existence of God. This feature helps prevent any single page from becoming overwhelmed with excessive information and provides a structured organization for discussions.
