RULE I
Argue the claim
No ad hominem. Motives are not substitutes for evidence.
THE TABLE · MODERATED DEBATE
Disagreement should make the argument better.
The Table is the future discussion layer of Live Out Loud: structured debate around a specific proposition, with evidence, counterargument and reply. It is intentionally not an open comment feed.
ILLUSTRATION / VISUAL — TO BE ADDED
THESIS
Power should live as close to members as practical.
Local democratic institutions can respond faster, preserve accountability and keep authority connected to the people who created it.
THE QUESTION
How much authority can move closer to without undermining province-wide solidarity and collective bargaining strength?
ANTITHESIS
Some powers need strong central coordination.
Fragmentation can weaken bargaining, create unequal standards and make collective action harder across a large organization.
RULE II
Show the source
Claims about constitutions, agreements or law should identify the rule being relied on.
RULE III
Offer a consequence or remedy
Critique becomes useful when it explains what follows and what should change.
