Tumblr is guaranteed one-upmanship. The reblogging feature causes escalation. We need to look at the brain, and figure out how neurons work together in networks to produce truth. Then use that model for our social networks.

What makes you think that neurons produce truth? Neurons mostly produce actionable thoughts.

    Well, no. I thought about editing this after the fact, but couldn't come up with a succinct summary of what neurons do on a high level. So I let this first impulse stand.

      I think you missed a joke, but I'm not sure.

  Collectively neurons moderate their individual binary responses and together respond with more nuance to outside stimuli. Maybe that's the parallel she/he is trying to present?

  Neurons produced the modern world. I'd say they're doing a bit better at producing truth than all other matter in the known universe...

> neurons work together in networks to produce truth Category error, surely? Whether or not something is true, it's truthiness or falsiness must exist outside of the brain percieving it, yes? In which case it's a process of recognition or labelling, not creation.
