The Roundtable — Infrared's debate format — exists because every other venue for authentic discourse died.

> "There is no serious, real foundation of authentic discourse outside social media that survived. There's no prestigious academic institutions where real discourse happens. There's no serious roundtables and discussions going on, no more refined podcasts. It is all just this extremely hypermodern attention economy. And I decided at a certain point to own up to it and take a more wise view of the long game — it's a marathon and not a race."

Multi-hour debates across the spectrum, inside the attention economy, playing the long game (Wanted debates, Infrawoke).
