Awesome job! The world needs more of these conversations. It would be awesome if we could couple having these discussions with some incentive in a sustainable manner. Perhaps it could turn into something scalable and generalizable for all sorts of polarizing issues. Any thoughts on that?
@will_jack thanks. And yes, this is something we've put on the back burner as something to consider later (and it's a reason why the name is general and not election-specific). For now, we're focusing on the election.
There's a lot of discussion and concern over the filter bubble many of us live in through Facebook, Twitter, and our IRL relationships. I stumbled across this creative project that connects two people with opposing views with a goal of facilitating a healthy conversation.
While tech often reenforces our own thinking and in some cases, encourages more introversion, it can also make the world a more empathetic place, more than ever before. Be My Eyes is one of my favorite examples of this.
Great idea! I also think something where you press a button and you can view the web as someone "from the other side" I'd love to see what articles they are reading / sites they are visiting.
LOVE this! Over here at Wurqs, we actually launched something very similar just before Christmas (didn't hunt it though...), called #DiversifyMe! http://wurqs.com/diversify-me/
It's a great cause. It reminds me some "standup" shows a friend was organizing in Cambridge years ago - on stage republican vs not, proguns and not, and so on. Great cause indeed

A great lessons on "How to get back to reality" and reconnect people, away from the over media coverage.
Could be useful for our French presidential election in May 😏

Pretty cool. Could do this for many issues. Israel and Palestine springs to mind.
