About

Build better opinions—on purpose.

8 Minutes Club is a debate-first social platform where every claim is presented alongside its strongest supporting and opposing arguments, helping people build informed opinions in just eight minutes a day.

The internet floods you with information. Feeds optimize for attention, not understanding. Outrage travels faster than evidence. Most people inherit opinions from their timeline, not from careful reasoning.

8 Minutes Club exists to reverse that. We believe forming an informed opinion should be deliberate, balanced, and achievable—without living inside infinite scroll.

What the club stands for

Eight minutes per topic

A short, intentional habit. Enough time to hear both sides and weigh evidence—not enough to drown in noise.

Both sides, equally

Supporting and opposing perspectives get equal space. We don't crown winners. We surface the strongest arguments so you can think clearly.

Evidence before volume

Sources, citations, and transparent reasoning come first. Popularity is not a proxy for truth.

Constructive disagreement

Debate is how knowledge improves. Challenge, refine, and update—without the theater of destroying opponents.

Why the club exists

People are not short on opinions. They are short on time, context, and structured disagreement. Traditional social platforms reward speed and certainty. Nuance loses.

8 Minutes Club is built as a quiet counterweight: curated claims, dual-perspective debate cards, and research powered by Prism—an AI research agent that explores the web, discovers diverse perspectives, retrieves supporting evidence, and recommends the strongest arguments.

The long-term vision extends beyond daily debates toward open knowledge—objects, protocols, and networks where contested claims remain inspectable and improvable over time.

How we work

8 Minutes Club is not a social network. There are no endless feeds, follower counts, or outrage ranking. You pick a topic, read both sides with evidence, and leave with a clearer opinion—or a better question.

Prism researches each claim first: supporting evidence, opposing evidence, and related discussion. The community then challenges, improves, and expands the debate over time.

Thoughtful

Calm design. Careful language. No hot takes or viral bait.

Evidence-driven

Claims earn their place when arguments and sources travel with them.

Curious

Assume you might be wrong. Seek the strongest case against your view.

Respectful

Disagree with ideas. Leave people intact. No follower-count theater.

Founder

The people behind the club

Neel Kamal

Founder

Neel Kamal founded 8 Minutes Club to make informed opinion-forming practical in a world optimized for distraction.

The club grows from a simple conviction: better public judgment starts with better private habits—short sessions of balanced reading, not endless feeds.

Under his leadership, 8 Minutes Club pairs human debate with Prism, an AI research agent that explores the web, discovers diverse perspectives, retrieves supporting evidence, and recommends the strongest arguments.
