The mission of the Art of Dispute, Inc. (501c3) is to "Save America, one civil conversation at a time." We're actually SERIOUS about that mission. We believe that open conversation on controversial topics should be encouraged, enlightening, and empowering. Three guiding principles that under-gird our efforts to accomplish that belief in everything we do on the show and in this group: 1) Seek first to understand, then to be understood 2) Assume ignorance rather than malice 3) Be married to the truth rather than individual ideas When we practice these three principles we realize that in every dialog, whether it is a perceived "win" or a perceived "loss" or something in between, it is ALWAYS a win when seeking TRUTH is the goal. So, what sets the show apart from other talk shows (ESPECIALLY POLITICAL TALK SHOWS!?!?). The Art of Dispute Show has no political bent, no angle, no talking heads with researched bullet points. The show features everyday individuals from all different walks of life just reacting to a subject and dialoguing between each other under the premise that they must seek first to understand. We're bent on "Saving America, one Civil Conversation at a Time."
