Thank you for taking the time to reach out and reading our value proposition.

Indeed, it will be a hard task for us to solve all the issues regarding baseless opinions. We believe that hearing both sides of a question and acknowledging that 2 sides can co-exist, will make you a better citizen. Even more if you engage with the other side with a respect signal. Even more if you speak out. And even more if, while you speak out, you receive respect votes :)

Assuming any issue can only have 2 viewpoints is extremely fallacious

Maybe you have two sides - most issues do - maybe there is only one. But exposure to both is helpful regardless. On most issues we haven’t considered both sides, and only have weak thoughts - listening forces us to think. In other cases you can ratify your beliefs, and is something you may change your mind. Regardless, it’s better that we have seen a wide range of opinions.

How is it a wide range of options if you forced to say either viewpoint A or B is true, when in reality any semicomplex issue will have truth in viewpoint C, D, ∃!xP etc.

Complex societal issues will not be solved within the scope of a 30 second video.
