We all know how unproductive emotional debates can be. People spend a lot of time engaging in these discussions, but rarely does any tangible outcome result from them. At the same time, we live in a world with numerous conflicts and controversies, sometimes resulting in the loss of countless lives. The question is, what can we do to help improve this situation?
The platform nlite [Enlight
] aims to shed light on controversial topics by systematically identifying the top arguments for all sides. The idea is that once the top arguments for all sides are identified, it becomes much easier to cut through the noise and decide which side overall makes more sense. Notably, the platform never takes sides and always remains neutral.
On nlite, people are only as loud as the strength of their arguments. Financial and societal backgrounds have little influence. Also, we believe that an important byproduct of the platform is that it helps promote logical thinking in society. That is because to come up with strong and convincing arguments, users need to organize their thoughts and validate the sources of their information.
While the platform takes a rigorous approach to investigating controversial topics, it aims to make the study of controversial topics playful and fun.
Last but not least, the platform aims to foster emotional connections by providing spaces for users to share their personal experiences and even random thoughts. This occurs through the Life Stories and Comments sections available on each argument and counter page.
In short, the platform aims to offer an efficient and pleasant approach to investigating controversial topics.
