What else could it possibly be?
Maybe you could let people nominate unpopular opinions for discussion without having to endorse them. That way you might get less one-upmanship and more genuinely edgy stuff. For example, I would nominate Aristotle's "some people are slaves by nature".
And add in C.S. Lewis' idea that no people are masters by nature.
From memory: Lewis presented Aristotle's idea as being that natural slaves were people who weren't responsible enough to run their own lives.
A pretext for sniping at opposing ideologies and political positions? But yes.
