The organization holds a lot of hope for the value Endurance-Based Dispute (EBD) offers for getting to the bottom of cases. EBD makes disagreements that seem unsolvable able to be solved by drawing from one important question:
“How good is any idea that can’t come up with one good reason for why it is true?”
EBD brings points to a place where they stand or fall by that question. It brings them closer and closer to that place with every new entry, by showing what any new point being true, would mean for anything said so far connected to it.
There’s no mystery in EBD about where something stands at any given moment. Whether you have a main point, or objections to any kind of point, in EBD, a point counts when it has answered everything that is active and directly opposing it and stops counting until it does. An overturned point doesn’t count until it answers all of its objections. This makes it the fairest way to ever argue for any side because nobody can blow off the points of any side.
We are currently completing the alpha version of the new EBD discussion platform, based on node.js, angular.js, and backbone.js. We hope to be testing this platform very soon.
