Political Science and any job related to it require a lot of study, especially through debates and discussions. It is a lot of intellectual work. You need to study many topics and many other things. Sometimes you need to discuss them with others and also debate a few topics.

But many social media platforms are full of nonsense discussions and debates. These platforms are designed for more engagement and attention extraction rather than results. Discussions which happen online are filled with fake information, are started to keep people hooked and distracted, are unstructured, and never lead to solutions or conclusions. The same goes for debates. Important and valuable points get buried. Debates and discussions on a single topic happen in hundreds of different places. We need to channelise all this mental energy into one place to really get ahead. We are stuck in many debates or discussions which should have been concluded by now. We're avoiding it because we don't have such a platform. I am trying to build a platform that solves this problem.

E.g. On this subreddit, many ask how to get started or involved in political science. This is a simple and basic topic which gets discussed several times, and people still ask the same question. Instead, on the platform there will be a specific page for this discussion, and people will keep adding to it. There will be a proper structure, just not a basic chronological order (comment under comment). There will be AI summarisation, a fact-checker, a force to keep pushing the discussion towards a conclusion, not just round and round; important points being valued, tracking the trajectory of the discussion/debate, etc.

Such a platform is very important for all those who really need serious solutions and conclusions from high-quality and real conversations.

What is your view on this?

I am looking for people to conduct research. I want to check whether my idea works.
Here is my startup idea in short: a social media platform for debates and discussions.

I want volunteers to discuss the topic "Should children under 18 be allowed to use social media or not?"
I want to study how the discussion goes and the results.

There will be specific rules for the discussion we all have to follow. I will act as a moderator. I want at least 10 people. The discussion will go on for max 7 days.

I will be grateful for your support.

Just simply comment below, and we will discuss the further steps for the discussion.

Will you use a social media platform for real high-quality debates and discussions?

I myself have felt the need for such a platform. The discussions and debates on the internet are vague, filled with fake information, driven by a desire to dominate, unstructured, without results or conclusions, never-ending, etc.

The platform closest to my ideas is Reddit. But it's still not a go-to platform for real, high-value, structured discussions and debates. Generally, social media platforms are designed for engagement.

I want to create a platform with an infrastructure that fosters fruitful conversations.

What do you think of this idea? I would really like to have a talk to you about this idea and your feedback.
