A real debate on a question that rarely gets one
The question
Do DEI programs do more harm than good?
Says DEI does more harm
Wilfred Reilly
Says DEI is net positive
Armand Domalewski
DEI is one of the most charged questions in American life. This is a real debate on it: two credible people, opposite sides, and a fair format. It comes down to whether corrective inclusion actually works, and whether it is fair.

Most arguments online are two people talking past each other. A SuperDebate is the opposite: assigned sides, cross-examination, and a winner the audience picks. Debate is the only major intellectual sport that is two-person, free-form, and built to be watched, yet it has no professional league for adults. We are building one.
Open debate runs on the people who show up. Tell us how you want to be part of it.
Structured debates on the ideas that matter most. You score who makes the stronger case.
Top earners reproduce their advantage at rates that defy pure merit. Every alternative — heredity, patronage, lottery — has failed more visibly. Is meritocracy the fairest system — or a story winners tell? Two debaters, opposing sides — you score who makes the stronger case.
Humanity uses 1.7 Earths yearly. Degrowth economists say rich nations must shrink; others say technology can decouple growth from harm. Can the planet survive endless growth — or is degrowth a recipe for poverty? Two debaters, opposing sides — you score who makes the stronger case.
Aging kills 100,000 people every day — more than cancer and war combined. Google's Calico has invested billions in life-extension research. Should we treat aging as a disease — or accept it as part of a meaningful life? Two debaters, opposing sides — you score who makes the stronger case.
The US has spent over $1 trillion on the drug war since 1971 — overdoses still hit 107,000 in 2023. Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2001 and saw deaths plummet. Does legalization fix it — or abandon the most vulnerable? Two debaters, opposing sides — you score who makes the stronger case.
