> Having said that, I agree that we perhaps may need a platform for something like this, since solving problems in my opinion is all about points of view and options.

I wrote the post being oriented more to the problem, because solutions are presented to everyone. And as you mention 1% of them are truly well defined.

In the same context of building a platform that can be a step further in any kind of problem that humanity can have, there are a lot of websites that can allow this type of content. Is this really needed? Would someone use it?

So for example I'm intrigued what makes someone ask for help? Or does it? Usually, they ask for help or search to solve a problem when the problem is oppressive.

As a human being, we have stupid problems, actually, some are not problems so we if we build a platform which define problems, a lot of topics could be crappy questions.
