I don't care for debates anymore, we shouldn't care to be "winning" conversations. I'd rather have two people with opposed perspectives engage in a dialectic. Let them calibrate to each other's words, find where there is shared ground and identify the edges of each perspective, explore new territory.

No thanks. This idea is Marxist to the core. For example, Dialectical Materialism . . .

Nobody should accept the premise that exploring new territory is always a good thing. Evil wants you to explore new territory and be inclusive to it's "diverse" wickedness.

The only common ground people need to reach is agreement that we can all do what we want as long as we aren't forcing others to do the will of anither person, or another group of people.

No, majority rule is not justification for forcing everyone to do anything and everything. 51% vs. 49% is nothing more than 1 person bullying and pushing another person. 66% vs 34% is 2 people bullying 1 person.
