algorithm to promote good ideas

Page history last edited by myclob 3 yrs ago

We should create an algorithm that promotes quality arguments similar to the way that Google promotes quality websites.

 

Reasons to agree:

  1. What allows Google to organize the internet is links and algorithms. Google uses the number of websites that link to another website in an algorithm to give more "weight" to websites that have lots of links to them. In turn those websites with lots of links to them carry more weight when they link to other websites. In a similar way, I would like to promote ideas that have lots of reasons (think links) that agree with them, and few reasons that disagree with them. Also similarly to Google, those reasons (think web pages) with lots of reasons that agree with them, will carry more weight.
  2. This would give good ideas and good reasons more credit or weight.
  3. That is the whole trick of Google's algorithm, it looks for the best websites, and measures best by the number of links to a website.
  4. Putting reasons to agree and disagree in separate columns, could let you create a computer algorithm that gives points to the main idea, depending on things like the number of reasons to agree & disagree.
  5. We need better organized debates.
  6. If more logical arguments are promoted, people would make better decisions and more easily resolve conflicts.
