Briefly

The Habermas Machine aims to revolutionize conflict resolution by fostering ideal communication, allowing rational discussions among equals, ultimately leading to consensus on divisive issues.
'Now, of course, Habermas has been dramatically criticized for this being a very exotic view of the world. But our Habermas Machine is an attempt to do exactly that.' This reflects the skepticism surrounding applying philosophical ideals through technological means.
'One of the cornerstone ideas in Habermas' philosophy is that the reason why people can't agree with each other is fundamentally procedural.' This indicates the machine's core focus on improving dialogue rather than taking sides.
'An unprecedented 80 percent of Americans think the country is deeply divided over its most important values ahead of the November elections.' This statistic underscores the urgency of finding effective conflict resolution methods.
