then the axioms themselves can be argued until a conclusion is reached, otherwise debate can be suspended. the underlying axiom here is that debate can be had, and that people can be convinced through reason.
- Reelin 7y ago> the underlying axiom here is that debate can be had, and that people can be convinced through reason I take it you haven't seen Twitter (or Facebook, or Reddit, or even SE lately)? Or perhaps you're referring only to in person interactions here, but I've still never witnessed this outside of a STEM setting (and even then, not always).
- lmm 7y agoA platform that deliberately limits the length of what can be posted to only the most trivial thoughts turns out to be a poor place for debate? Shocking, that.
- rjblackman 7y agowe are talking about karl popper's open society. not sure he knew about social media :)
