DeliberatingTruth.com is dedicated to peaceful pursuit of truth. The site existed as DeliberatingTruth@wordpress.com from 2011 to 2013 then relaunched in February of 2017.
Truth may ultimately elude us, but we can still seek it in the common places and spaces between us.

DeliberatingTruth.com LLC…
…is a business designed to promote reciprocal conversations and relationships. While two-way cooperative conversations (dialogue) are often preferred, two-way competitive discussions (debates) are also necessary for healthy communities. Both types of two-way conversations may include horizontal turn-based talking-time that promotes the practice of empathy and active listening. One-way cooperative talks (discourse) complements dialogue and one-way competitive speech (diatribe) supports debate. These types of conversation are less desired but may be necessary steps to achieve the ultimate goal of mutually-encouraging relationship (reciprocity). DeliberatingTruth.com LLC may bridge communal gaps and build social capital through optimizing discussions with reciprocal dialogue and debate or simply keep a conversation going with discourse and diatribe.
