@ChrisMayLA6 the dilemma though is that even if we did create such forums the conversations had in them would be out of alignment with where we’re heading, by the government’s own (whispered) admission https://climatejustice.social/@GreenRupertRead/115960814841971348

@ChrisMayLA6 absolutely key question. We don’t have anywhere up to the task.
Some people are trying to create such places.

@urlyman @ChrisMayLA6 would citizens assemblies be a potential simulation of Habermasian dialogues? Perhaps more impotantly, would the wider social discourse take any notice of the outputs from such assemblies? Which voices would our media overlords choose to promote?

fwiw, I’ve drawn out the salient points of the report that Rupert has written about here
yes, if I was to come over all Habermasian, I would be distinguishing the fora & the possibility of 'ideal' political speech - that between equal interlocutors.... but thankfully I've retired so don't need to do that any more 😉
