The internet is already a treasure house of independent thought. For any particular web user, however, it is hard to make sense of the millions of streams of thought going on at the same time. Imagine, for example, if you could easily sort arguments into those that support nationalized healthcare and those that oppose it. Now imagine if you could go through them and instead of nfl jersey arguing against the full argument all at once, you could argue against a single point with which you disagree. It would be possible to determine not merely whether individuals are for or against something, but to find out why to a degree previously not exposed. This should, hopefully, increase the usefulness of web arguing and the overall quality of online discussion.
There have been a number of academic tools with a similar purpose developed by researchers in argumentation theory. You can read about some of them at(click on sensemaking tools). The overarching idea is to create a method by which the unstructured nature of nfl jersey web discussion can be "made sense of" by computers. This involves breaking down an argument into its various components (proposition, premises and the like). Unfortunately the psychology and economics of discussion do not lend themselves easily to highly structured arguing. (ask a person to independently break down his argument into components and he is likely to lose the passion which stimulated him to write in the first place).
Argumentum's approach is slightly different, and based on some of the flaws in the systems above. On Argumentum, all you are required to do is state a proposition which you oppose or support, and make your argument. The "breaking down" will be done by those who are stimulated by individual points you have made. They can "follow-up" your argument by making a new proposition, and arguing for or against it.
Unlike a standard comment section or web nfl jerseys forum, the arguments are naturally broken down into distinct ideas without any extra effort. At the same time, as you can see in the example, conversational flow is well-maintained. The Argumentum structure is aimed at transforming the way people argue online.. making it a more enjoyable and stimulating experience.
