NEW: DEBATE CHALLENGE Step into a 2:30 recorded debate against a digital clone of history's greatest minds. Split-screen, face to face. A neutral judge scores both you and your opponent across reasoning, engagement, depth, and resilience — then names a winner. Share the result and challenge anyone to beat your score. NEW: DEBATE TRAINER Go ten rounds with live coaching hints that surface counter-arguments and expose hidden assumptions as you argue. See your logical fallacies. Sharpen your thinking in real time. NEW: BILATERAL SCORING Every debate now ends with a full scorecard — your score, your opponent's, your strongest and weakest moments, and the judge's verdict. Pick your opponent. Make your case. Get scored.

Dark Academy 2.0 - Debate Mode This is a complete reimagining of Dark Academy. Everything is new. DEBATE CHALLENGE (FREE) 2:30 split-screen debates against 17 digital clones. Pick a philosopher, pick a proposition, argue your case. The app records everything — your camera on one side, the philosopher on the other.

PROFESSIONAL SCORING Both you and the philosopher are scored by a neutral judge on four dimensions — reasoning, engagement, depth, and resilience — out of 100. Logical fallacies detected for both sides with confidence ratings: straw man, ad hominem, false dilemma, appeal to emotion, circular reasoning, and more. Every debate ends with a verdict and personalized coaching tips. 172 SOURCED PROPOSITIONS Every debate topic is traced to an actual source — direct quotes, trial transcripts, historical records, and novels.
