The system provides a method and apparatus for automatically constructing, controlling, curating, recording, displaying, and preserving a discussion between one, two or more users on a topic. The system is an automated debate moderator that provides muting, time limits, number of rounds, round duration countdown, order of speaking, and end time that can be accessed via any processing device, including smartphones, tablets, desktops, laptops, and the like. The topics can be self-generated or selected from a list of curated topics and the resulting recorded debate can be linked to on any social network or media viewing platform.
