Colorado Should

Page history last edited by Mike 1 month, 2 weeks ago

This site exists to solve a core failure of modern thinking:
We’re flooded with ideas, arguments, and evidence—but they’re duplicated, disorganized, and disconnected.

  • We repeat the same debates without building on past answers.

  • We argue past each other without linking claims to shared evidence.

  • We promote beliefs without measuring their costs, benefits, or underlying logic.

 

The fix?
A platform that automates conflict resolution, ranks evidence, and structures cost-benefit analysis—so we can stop talking in circles and start making progress.

 

Key Features

  1. Evidence-Driven Framework
    • Dedicated Debate Pages: Every topic has a single structured page with clear pro/con columns.
    • ReasonRank: Like Google's PageRank but for arguments—ranking by coherence, support, and impact.
    • Dynamic Scoring: Scores adjust as new evidence, rebuttals, and context come in.
  2. Analysis Tools for Smart Thinking
    • Cost-Benefit Scans: Assess financial, social, and ecological trade-offs for each argument.
    • Likelihood Scores: Estimate how probable outcomes are based on data and precedent.
    • Maslow Mapping: Align arguments with human needs for ethical and practical impact scoring.
  3. Built-In Conflict Resolution
    • Interest Mapping: Identify shared and competing goals to foster win-win insights.
    • Motivation Insight: Explore what drives different sides—and how to meet them.
    • Consensus Builders: Highlight overlap to move from polarization to resolution.
  4. Smart Content Management
    • Deduplication: Merge similar ideas—"Trump is dumb/ignorant/unteachable"—into clusters.
    • Semantic Precision: Clean up vague claims and jargon through structured breakdown.
    • Novelty Filters: Highlight original points over repeated ones.

 

How It Works

  • User Participation: Add arguments, attach evidence, rate counterpoints.
  • Community Moderation: Instead of censorship, weak arguments sink—strong ones rise—with clear reasons why.

This process promotes critical thinking, learning, and respectful disagreement.

From Knowledge to Wisdom

Wikipedia gives us facts. The Idea Stock Exchange helps us use them. It adds structure, context, and consequences to transform information into action-worthy insight.

  • Structured arguments, not noise
  • Impacts measured, not assumed
  • Disagreements mapped, not avoided

Join the Movement

Help replace confusion with clarity. Let's build the internet's truth infrastructure—open, collaborative, and reason-led. The future of smart decision-making starts here.

Collaborative Evidence-Based Decision-Making

We're shifting the spotlight from personalities and propaganda to transparent reasoning and public wisdom.

The Dawn of Wikocracy

Our aim: create a political and civic infrastructure where every decision and policy can be scored, sorted, and scrutinized publicly.

  1. Each policy gets its own structured page.
  2. Arguments for and against are ranked and scored.
  3. Costs and benefits are categorized and quantified.
  4. We elect people who agree to use this process—not personal opinion—to make choices.

The Idea Stock Exchange is a step beyond traditional debate. It's a system that captures not just facts or feelings, but the full shape of reason. Join us in building it—one belief at a time.
