I think my concern is “By the time you’ve gotten people to agree to something like what you’ve depicted above, you could probably also get them to do actual collaborative truthseeking. Adversarial Truthseeking seems like it’ll always be the norm, but that’s because even getting people to agree to do something like the above is fairly hard.”
No doubt it would be hard to get people to do what’s depicted in the
post. The conjecture is that in many important instances it would be
considerably less hard than collaborative truth seeking. But it’s
just that: a conjecture. Still, I would think it prudent to explore
many different avenues here given how unfruitful debates so often are
and how much so often is at stake.
