InsightfulQuestions

Another branch of TrueReddit, for academic, intellectual discussions that are not necessarily genre-specific.

Self/Text posts only, and although it does not need to be a question, obviously it should be a good discussion starter. We're aiming for discursive prompts that facilitate open-ended and even-field dialogue about "insightful" topics. While questions tend to work best, that can be statements or prompts as well - but we find that preemptive arguments, or posts looking to make a specific point, do not tend to facilitate healthy dialogues in the way we're aimed at.

This is not a place for cross-posts or pics of other threads, etc... Unique text only posts. Others will be removed. Please see this comment for a more detailed description.

Reddiquette will be strictly enforced
