Discussion Topics

Arguing and discussing are challenging. Especially when one wants to win, the full diversity of reality flies away as the argument focuses on a single aspect. Do we try to bully the other into submission on that chosen aspect? Most of the pages listed below try to be more true to the diversity of reality, so they are discussions rather than knock-down arguments. See a page that elaborates this.
