How to Participate
This website has a number of “layers”. The first and most general layer is a list of topics for discussion, each with a short description. Under each topic is a list of related ideas with their short descriptions. Linked to each of these idea’s descriptions is a short essay detailing the concept, thought or theory behind the idea. Under each essay there is a list of comments that other readers wrote about this essay. All the topics for discussion, their related ideas, descriptions, essays and comments, are submitted by various participants of this website and selected by the website organizers.
To comment on an existing essay, write in the box found after the essay. The comment cannot exceed 250 words and must include a name/title, the name of the comment’s author, the date presented and the title of the essay that it is commenting on.
To offer a new idea regarding a discussion topic, click on the button that says “Submit a New Idea Related to this Topic” under a specific discussion topic. Submit a description (maximum 250 words) together with an essay (maximum 1250 words) which explains and details it. Each idea should include a title, the name of the author of this idea, the date presented, and the title of the discussion topic that this idea is related to. In the essay it is possible to offer a reference to a longer article or book, but a full bibliography is possible but not required. Bibliographies and references will not be hyperlinked by the website and will be included in the limited count of 1250 words. For a new idea to be added to the website, the author must read at least 3 ideas of other authors (in any of the topics) and provide them with helpful feedback and comments.
To offer a new topic for discussion click on the button that says “Submit a New Topic for Discussion” on the page that lists the topics. Give this topic a title/name and present an explanation of this topic (similar to the ones presented on the website) which does not exceed 250 words. At the same time submit a new idea in a related essay and an description following the same requirements specified above.
To make a general comment or suggestion for the website as a whole or ask a question about past of future submissions to the website, contact the website organizers listed on the contact button on the home page.
In general, regardless of the complexity and sophistication of the concept/idea/theory, the hope is to have descriptions and essays that are as clear as possible for a diversified audience. Posting any submissions on the website or removing entries from it are subject to the sole discretion of the website organizers.
