    Thank you, very much appreciated! And thanks for the insights about priming the platform with non-mainstream topics

    That’s true, but I think even in those cases, debate unveils important questions that can help arrive at more definitive answers as future data comes in.

    I think much of the value is the funding infrastructure and also the debate creation and discoverability, similar in some ways to the role eventbrite serves for events. Thanks for …

    Thanks for sharing those other platforms. I think what differentiates Logosive is the funding mechanism, which could allow debaters, organizers, and promoters to earn substantial r…

    Thanks for the feedback. I’ll update the messaging to make this more clear.

    Thanks so much for your support and perspective. I’ve seen some debates where one debater dominates, but so far it hasn’t ended discussion of the given topic but has rather led to …

    Thanks for these considerations. I think even if a debate doesn’t help arrive at an ultimate truth, it can still be beneficial as a substrate for revealing important questions that…

    AI is used on the debate creation form on the homepage to generate the debate description and to suggest debaters or topics based on debaters. Alternatively, there’s a manual debat…

    First, thank you for the confidence about Logosive taking off. You describe an interesting problem with the moat. I'm hoping we can be the choice venue for debates by providing the…

    Thanks for the feedback. One mechanism we can use to address this is to update the debate descriptions if the debaters have suggestions about how they'd like their positions descri…

    This is true for many modern-style debates on podcasts on television, but my goal is for Logosive to elevate debate to truth-seeking again. One debate format I'd like to see on Log…

    That's a good point. Before a debater agrees to the debate, the debater is marked as "pending" on the debate page, but that could be made more clear on some other parts of the plat…

    Thanks for the feedback on what could be confusing messaging. The debates happen between real people. The AI is used to create the debate launch page based on the debate organizer'…

    Show HN: I built a platform where audiences fund debates between public thinkers

    It’s not the second choice though, since the initial state is different, and thus so are the risks and rewards of getting the vaccine.

    There’s a third choice, which is not getting the vaccine because you already have natural resistance to COVID, such as through a previous infection with COVID. In this case, a vacc…
