I'm building a liquid democracy. The cool thing is that we won't bother applying it to "democracy" first — the killer app will actually be to computer your news feed, in a way that you control through your social network, rather than an AI.
Here's a prototype of it: https://peeryview.org https://peeryview.org. Check out the /about page. It's like Reddit or HN, but instead if having a single "moderator" with monopoly power over a set of "voters" with one vote each; you weight everyone's vote for your unique feed. And they weight a second layer of people's votes, etc.
We call this network a Web-of-Opinions, or a WoO. The Woo is subjective. It's soft. It's social. It determines your attention (in the news feed).
As it grows, it creates a new game-resistant reputation system, aka a "Liquid Democracy", that can be used for many things: like a Proof of Personhood, or an actual Democracy.
We just announced a protocol draft last week at https://braid.org/meeting-99 https://braid.org/meeting-99. If you're interested, please give feedback here, in the braid group, or write me directly at toomim@gmail. This is the time!
