Welcome to /changemyview

Your view matters. So does theirs.

Welcome to a community built on a simple but powerful idea: the best way to discover truth is through respectful dialogue with people who disagree with you.

This isn't a place to win arguments. It's a place to have your mind genuinely changed, and to help others change theirs.

How It Works

1. Share a Position You Hold
Post something you believe in. It could be about politics, philosophy, relationships, technology, ethics, anything. Be genuine and specific about what you think and why.

2. Invite Respectful Challenge
The community will engage with your view. Listen to counterarguments seriously. Engage with the strongest versions of opposing views, not the weakest.

3. Be Open to Growth
You might discover your opponent has a point. You might find weaknesses in your own reasoning. Either way, you've learned something.

Our Core Principles

• Argue in good faith. Present your actual beliefs, not strawmanned positions.

• Listen actively. Understand before you disagree.

• Explain your reasoning. Share logic, evidence, and experiences behind your views.

• Criticize ideas, not people. Be firm and kind.

• Stay on topic. Keep discussions focused.

• Assume good intent. Presume others want real conversation.

What We Value

Growth over victory. Understanding over dismissal. Humility over certainty. Dialogue over debate.

You don't have to agree with everyone here. You just have to be willing to listen, think, and let your perspective evolve.
