The fundamental problem is that we need some way of separating good ideas from bad, as a society. Sure, it was a big leap forward when we switched from "whatever the king says" to "let everyone shout as loud as they can and whoever shouts the loudest wins", but the truth we have to face up to is that neither method works particularly well, especially in the age of the internet. So, is there a better system? A way we can bubble "good" ideas up and suppress "bad" ideas, ideally without some corruptible central arbiter? And, will such a system inevitably be viewed as "censorship" by some, purely on the principle that the current shouting-based system favors them more than a meritocratic one would?
