This site wants to be Wikipedia for inferential knowledge - where Wikipedia is a general encyclopedia and catalogs knowledge of all kinds (people, places, things, events, ideas, etc.), this site deals only with ideas that are <i>arguments</i> or <i>claims</i>, and that depend for their plausibility and truth on chains of inference stretching back ultimately to some fundamental axiom. This includes essentially all of philosophy, science, religion, and politics, since all of these make debatable claims about what reality is and how it is likely to respond in given circumstances, and since those claims are all based on some chain of prior reasoning every link of which are themselves debatable. We need a Wikipedia-like central resource that explicitly graphs all of these chains of reasoning, reduces them to their individual links, and lays bare their connections and branchings, so that we can 1) understand the underpinnings of our own ideas, 2) understand the underpinnings of <i>other peoples's</i> ideas (i.e., stop assuming that other people are stupid strawmen), 3) show definitively that genuinely stupid ideas are genuinely stupid, by systematically meeting their bad arguments with clearly stronger counter-arguments, 4) stop having the same arguments constantly all over the internet/tv/congress/world, by having it all out in one place where the argument can be logically organized, permanently recorded, and exhaustively fleshed out, and 5) finally be able to walk through, clearly and completely, exactly what gives us reason to think that something is true.
