Welcome to Civil Discourse!Both left and right sides of the political spectrum don't know how to talk to each other anymore. We're on a mission to fix that, to bring back civility in our discourse. Come with us as we explore politics, science, and religion. We're a couple of dudes who know that by finding common ground we can move the conversation forward. Both scientists by trade, we are seekers of truth, understanding, and education. Put on those thinking caps, and get ready to have a good conversation about having a good conversation.
