I have just started a new Daily Kos group for Kossacks interested in good discussion, clear thinking, and the skills of sharp & meaningful debate for use at Daily Kos & life in general.
I want this to be a lively yet friendly group where people with many different opinions, interests, angles, & factions can come together to work on their argument & critical thinking skills, & hopefully sharpen their abilities to recognize good arguments, debunk bad ones, & debate political opponents.
As such, I welcome all "skill levels" — from professors, to high school debate captains, to people who just know something is wrong with that politician's talking point but just can't place it, to puzzle buffs who like playing with words & numbers... to Kossacks who just like to see or participate in rousing discussions!
Relevant diaries can come from a "pure" logic perspective, a math perspective, a political PR perspective, a puzzle & game perspective, an online forum-moderating perspective — basically any perspective that involves critical thinking, rational decision-making, &/or the art of argument.
The floor is now yours!
