We all know how unproductive emotional debates can be. People often spend a lot of time engaging in these discussions, but they rarely lead to any meaningful outcomes. 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?
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. The platform remains neutral and never takes sides.
Importantly, people are only as loud as the strength of their arguments on nlite. Financial, political, and societal backgrounds do not play a significant role.
While the platform takes a rigorous approach to investigating controversial topics, it aims to make the investigation of controversial topics fun and enjoyable.
An key byproduct of the platform is its promotion of logical thinking in society. To come up with strong and convincing arguments, users need to organize their thoughts and validate their sources of information.
Last but not least, the platform seeks to cultivate emotional connections by providing spaces where users can share personal experiences and spontaneous thoughts. These occur through the Life Stories and Comments sections, which are available on every Argument and Counter page. There is a Comments section on each Viewpoint page too.
In short, the platform offers an efficient, yet enjoyable, approach to investigating controversial topics.
