I love the idea.
I've always wondered if the format of long form expert opinions could be replaced by a knowledge graph that is independent of the expert.
E.g. instead of article "Economist John rejects minimum wage"
Root node "Minimum wage is not the best solution to problem x" -> because -> <node to define problem>, <node to define alternative solutions> -> because -> <leaf nodes of studies or models>
In this way other experts could add to the graph and the differences between different branches of argument could be more easily compared or automatically updated. Articles could still be written, but could reference specific nodes or edges of the graph which adds clarity to the discussion.
- robertlagrant 4y agoI've thought about this before, but notating as a structure that needs logical supports instead of a graph.
- brutusborn 4y agoWhen you say logical supports, do you mean something like "A because B and C"? Why is this better than a graph? If you can't tell I don't know much about formal logic. Apologies for the naive questions.
- robertlagrant 4y agoI'm not saying it's better. I'm saying I've thought of a similar idea but with a different notation.
- brutusborn 4y agoI didn't mean to come across as argumentative, I was just looking for more details so I could understand better.
- robertlagrant 4y agoOh, you didn't. I did. Sorry - mind on other things!
