FORA.tv at COP 15

A blurring, buzzing week at COP 15 for me and my colleague Kyle Crawford. And while the Australian in the Koala Bear suit doesn’t quite reflect the gravity of the event, it hopefully illustrates some of the (mostly positive) circus atmosphere.

“Seek dialog with people who disagree with you”

That’s the essential thought in Bill Clinton’s concluding remarks on the sixth day of the 2008 Aspen Ideas Festival. It also happens to be one of the pillars of the FORA vision. We at FORA love debate, but dialog is something different and arguably more elevated. Debate is often (though certainly not always) an exercise …

CH is one of the world’s oldest and most esteemed forums for public discussion (and the originators of the famous “Chatham House Rules”). The press release posted to the CH …

Why debate is the best form of public discourse

Real debate (as opposed to presidential clown shows with eight people on a stage offering 15-second sound bytes in responding to the most complicated problems of the day) serves the public better than any other form of public discourse, here’s why: when there are two or more intelligent advocates of differing positions, each in command …

Live from the Battle of Ideas

Trevar and I both made it London this week and are now present with cameras running at the Battle of Ideas hosted by the Institute of Ideas at the Royal College of Art at Hyde Park. There’s a massive buzz of energy about the place and the event- a series of seventy debates running across …
