I outline my idea for a website here.
But those ideas didn't come to me randomly. They are intended to work in a certain way to solve many of the problems I see online (and offline too).
Obviously I think it would help with stuff like Social Inefficiencies and Maximizing Information Processing Division of Labor. But it might help if I can clearly outline how it's supposed to work here.
Trolls
Trolls can hopefully be eliminated entirely using trust aggregation. I outlined this solution here. Basically, trust aggregation plus easy tools to create and share whitelists and blocklists, equals: pretty soon the act of trolling people (who don't wish to be trolled) will become too much work.
Productivity in Disagreements
Time and energy could be saved by:
- allowing crowd-source collaboration on the creation of reason chains
- easily aggregating trusted work to reduce duplication of labor
- removing the need to package info in a presentation format
- verifying logical syllogisms to drive the conversation towards underlying premises, and facts
- (verifying logic can include user-defined words, thus preventing mere semantic issues)
- having tools to calculate Bayesian reasoning
