it's an interesting approach. I would be interested to see whether world-politics is capable of generating and addressing a range of diverse perspectives.

in my experience, without a focus on dialogue this isn't easy.

A good point. A friend of mine pointed me to six hats[1]. Currently the mock-up mirrors a two-level reddit in its dialogue with a tight focus on facts (the information-based white hats).

The advantage of having only facts is that the interface is simpler. The disadvantage is that not all views might be represented, thus impeding dialogue.
