DEBATENATE

Why this site exists

Truth wins debates.

Loud is easy. Viral is easy. True is harder, and it is the only thing that holds up when someone pushes back.

The truth vs. "my truth"

Your experience is real, and it matters. But "my truth" is a feeling about the world. The truth is how the world is, whether anyone feels it or not. Two plus two does not care who is asking.

That is good news. If truth were only personal, nobody could ever be wrong, and nobody could ever learn anything. Because truth is real, you can test a claim, find out you were mistaken, and walk away knowing more than you did.

Why facts and evidence matter

How Nate checks facts

  1. Prepared cases. Every topic in the library has a written case with its facts and the sources they come from.
  2. Sources under every answer. Tap Show me the truth to see the facts, where they come from, and what he concedes.
  3. Links only from the checked list. A link shows up under an answer only when it is one of the sources already on file. No made-up links.
  4. He concedes. When you are right about a fact, he is built to say so, and it goes on the scoreboard.

Nate is an AI character, and AI gets things wrong. He argues one side on purpose. Do not take his word for it, or ours: open the sources and check.
