   This is the case if the participants are well informed. If they are not, there is no reason to believe they will interrupt themselves.

    As usual, the solution proposed by those indicting any effort to squash misinformation is allowing anyone, regardless of expertise, to have their opinion receive equal weight on the world stage. We’ve seen just the beginning of where that g

    I like Iota a lot. Decentralized, no fees (to get a transaction validated, you validate others) low energy requirements, lots of industrial partnerships. About to get smart contracts a-la Ethereum, but without the out of control costs for t

    The tipping points are real, cataclysmic and not mentioned here. Read about the clathrate gun and the methane coming out of the tundra, never mind the huge fires in the boreal forests this year. The IPCC estimates are famously conservative

    This discounts the critical role of local news in informing citizens about the performance of and candidates for local government, as well as the investigative role. If the above is all we have in most municipalities, America will likely be

    This worldview you are trapped in will damage you in exactly the ways enumerated above. I hope that you find a new story to live in.

    I’m not so sure it’s a bad idea to listen to first person accounts from underindexed groups. For one, it may help surface new metrics to readjust with; for another, it may still help to get a sampling of “is this helping or hurting in your

    So you want uncertified doctors, unvetted medications and health insurers to be able to do whatever they want to their captive customers. Got it.

    I think the correct solution here has got to be a combination of shifting to reuse of materials, not recycling (think standard size containers) and engineering of bacteria/organisms that can break down existing plastics, even in the de

    I did - it was called Uncoverage. Happy to talk over what we learned. Also see Beacon, another failed project. Civil is not that far off from what you describe with their newsroom concept today, but they have some blockchain baggage. I thi

    I tried building a version of this in 2015 called Uncoverage. Beacon did too. Not enough people cared enough to support individual journalists. real stories take too long to write, all journalists need editors, and the value prop feels unfa
