I'm very optimistic that we can solve this problem with better tools. That's not to deny, as others have pointed out here, that emotions drive our thinking and that a post-fact world is as old as the art of rhetoric. It is, rather, based on the observation that we have an incredible ability to crowdsource information--including of an opinionated / normative variety--thanks to the internet, and yet we're still using the same rather rudimentary tool we started with: threaded comments. Threaded comments have their virtues, to be sure, but one of their downsides tends to be a lack of structure in the body of the content.

Sequiturs (https://sequiturs.com) is my attempt at a tool that solves this problem, of how to collaboratively reason and change people's minds about something. I've written a bit more here about why I think the answer is better tooling: https://sequiturs.com/blog/post/introducing-sequiturs/
