It draws attention, brings people in, and gets repeated over and over again.In this discussion, Jeff from End of a Species and Super Solid use that topic as a starting point to look at something bigger: the current state of online debate.The real question is not just about the topic itself. It is about the quality of the conversation:Do participants share the same understanding of reality?Are people using consistent standards of logic and evidence?Is anyone actually learning, or just repeating positions?This is a breakdown of why so many debates feel like they go nowhere, and what needs to change if better conversations are the goal.Support the MissionIf you want more conversations built on clarity and reasoning:https://endofaspecies.com/support
