Often times, discussions in an online setting about controversial issues are draining and riddled with misinformation, soap-boxing, name-calling, and short, non-helpful memes that distort or overly simplify the context. The goal of Ponder is to facilitate a refreshing online discussion that encourages online users to interact with and consume content by people outside of their echo chambers. Ponder encourages discussion in a safer environment that promotes collaboration instead of debate. By presenting highly rated content measured by its ability to change minds, not get likes, Ponder is attempting to add greater understanding and critical thinking to an increasingly polarized internet.
