I'm working on a social graph of causality, which is meant to solve the problem of having to ask specific questions to find answers. I call it Causemap (http://causemap.org http://causemap.org). Here's something I added today about the militarization of police (http://www.causemap.org/1033-program http://www.causemap.org/1033-program)
- michaelq 12y agoThis is an interesting approach. So the idea is basically amassing a bunch of people's subjective opinions about causality? Most of the ideas here are really high-level. Also, I tried to submit a "situation" without creating an account and got a 403 js error. You might want to hide that button for unauthenticated users.
- supjeff 12y agoThanks for the feedback! It still has some rough edges, but I'm really glad to see how people respond to it. It's a combination of a few really new concepts on the web (social news, wiki) and the relatively obscure concept of "causality", so figuring out the right UX/UI for it is my priority right now. > So the idea is basically amassing a bunch of people's subjective opinions about causality? Yes, that's the idea. There's also a mechanism to strengthen the strongest causal relationships through upvoting and downvoting. This way, hopefully the most reasonable links show up on top, but everyone's opinions can be represented.
