Thanks for taking interest in the project! About your question: I’m trying to think of an example to better answer it.
So let’s say I’ve started a discussion with someone who disagrees with taking the Covid vaccine. And we get to a point where they don’t believe the Covid stats because they don’t trust the CDC.
Then at this point, I could either continue debating whether the CDC is trustworthy, or I simply leave it there because I realize that this is someone I do not share enough common ground with. (There would be still a benefit: My disagreement would be much more informed now.)
In any case I am sure that a moderator who would intervene and say “You have to trust the CDC!” will not be helpful to the disbeliever.
However, there are situation where I think a moderation could be necessary:
when the required conditions at Depends were not delivered,
or the false premise at False premise is missing.
Let’s see if and how we get there.
For those who’ve missed it, here’s the recording.
