Hi Stefan,
It is interesting to consider the possibility of people making more rational decisions when voting if they could learn to be more self-aware of their own personal biases. I hope that was a fair summary.
I have a number of questions to throw at this concept:
1 - Does it really matter what the voters think anyway (is it a true democracy)?

2 - is it reasonable to expect that people would welcome their world views be challenged and debunked? (Or is this intended to be enforced?)
3 - What actually causes this problem? Can it be “prevented” instead of “cured”?

Keep the ideas coming. Great job.
