Frequently asked questions

This platform is designed for people who want to gain an overview of complex topics and explore a wide range of perspectives. It is also for those who wish to work constructively toward positive change—people who want to improve the world, make it simpler and safer, and who believe that we have an influence on how the world functions... for people who believe that every problem can be solved if we only choose to address it. Furthermore, it is intended for those seeking realistic and comprehensive support for decision-making.

You can create "aspects" by specifying whether each one is an argument in favor, an argument against, a proposed solution, a fact, or an opinion. Whenever possible—especially when providing facts—please cite your source. If you can, use the original source where the facts were first established, such as a research study or the text of a law.

No user data is displayed in public discussions.

Entries can only be deleted or modified by the original author.

Theses can only be modified or deleted as long as no aspects have been added to them yet.

If a change becomes necessary after aspects have already been added, you can request deletion by submitting a report and then create a new thesis.

You can delete a thesis you created as long as it contains no entries yet, or if all existing entries were also created by you AND none of those entries have received any "likes." To do this, log in, open the thesis, and delete the aspects first. Once all aspects have been deleted, a button will appear that allows you to delete the thesis itself.

You can delete your own entries as long as they have not yet received any "likes." To do so, click on the three dots to the right of the entry. This will display the options "edit" and "delete." You must be logged in!

Next to each point, there is a heart icon you can click to "like" it. The number of likes reflects the level of support.

You can create new propositions on the home page using the "Start a discussion" field, or by clicking the plus (+) icon in the bottom-right corner of the discussion overview screens. Once created, you can add your own points and invite others to participate (by clicking the message icon). Participants will receive an email; after downloading the app and signing up, they can access the propositions under "My Library" > "Invitations."

Yes, this is possible at any time with a PRO subscription, or by purchasing a credit for a specific proposition you have created.

You can view available plans and pricing—and proceed to purchase or subscribe—by clicking the toggle in the proposition creation form, or via your profile or the "PRO" button.

Private discussions are currently only available in the mobile app; they will be added to the web app in the near future.

Sometimes, the content of a website or mobile page is cached to reduce the amount of data that needs to be downloaded during use. You can try clicking the refresh icon in the top-right corner; this should make all the latest posts visible.

Yes, absolutely—that way, the whole community can benefit! 🙂

You can change a discussion from private to public at any time, free of charge.

Yes. Using AI can be quite helpful—it can assist you in quickly identifying aspects you might not have considered, and it often ensures that texts are clear and well-formulated. In short, AI can certainly be a useful tool during the preparation phase.

Since the acceptance of any given point is ultimately determined by user "likes"—or, in the case of concerns, by reports—using AI is perfectly fine.

Each registered email address can only be used to 'like' once. Since it is possible to influence the outcome by using multiple email accounts—and because the use of automated bots can also be an issue—cosmogenius intends to integrate verification via an official digital ID app in the medium term.
