I would like to see a social news aggregation site, such as Reddit and Hacker News, focused on quality debate. Users would tag each submission with its label in Paul Graham's disagreement hierarchy (http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html).
This submission, for example, would probably be tagged "Level 4: Counter-argument". And, probably, also with "Strawman".
You could filter out all submissions rated lower than Level 5 or 6 or whatever your threshold is.

- pauldino 18y agoAnd we could call it "The Argument Clinic" (Tagline: "The right room for an argument")
- walterk 18y agoI actually think this sort of functionality should be present throughout all forms of online communication. If that happened, the same standards of discourse might leak into offline communication as well.
