Thanks! Got in touch and he recommended Kialo, which appears to be a good basic implementation. It’s missing some flexibility—specifically the ability to connect every topic—but that might be a feature.
I envisioned creating a giant knowledge web, where any topic can link to any other topic. For example, a discussion on The Trolley Dilemma might have arguments with edges connecting to discussions on Utilitarianism and Consequentialism. The site’s format doesn’t allow linking discussions, each discussion has one topic and the arguments flow down from there.
This creates redundancy—the site has many topics with similar arguments inside—but it also makes each individual discussion easier to keep track of—it may be difficult to jump from topic to topic in a discussion.
I’ll try it out on some conversations and see how it works. Based on other posts in this thread, double crux conversations rarely go exactly as envisioned.
I believe Owen Shen has tried this; I cannot at the moment recall his LW username but it might just be some permutation of “Owen Shen.”
I think you mean lifelonglearner.
