What Hacker News says

11 sources
Makes me think of arguman[1] and kialo[2]. I discovered arguman maybe 10 years ago and have been thinking about it ever since. It's non-functional now but the source code is available. Maybe it's just my wishful thinking, but if we could map out every detail of an argument, maybe we could make progress faster, as a species. If this were incentivized well (like for instance polymarket), maybe with crypto rewards or something, this *could* take off. [1] https://github.com/arguman/arguman.org - the website exists but is non-functional now [2] https://www.kialo.com - feels like a dumbed-down version of arguman
In Show HN: FlakeUI
Might there be a platform like Amazon turk for curating knowledge where the "turk" gets incentivized through its value generated instead of fixed rate? How much the average Wikipedian receive using such funding model and could its incentives align with ideals of utility and rigour? One possible result from incentivizing consilience [0] : a xanadu-style [1] network of curated human knowledge more functional/constructive than arguman [2]. Just a thought. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consilience [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26216036 [2] https://github.com/arguman/arguman.org
In GPT Might Be an Information Virus
> Like many environmental initiatives I worry that we’re more concerned about making ourselves feel better than actually solving the problem. Either way, instead of reifying the relevant facts and statistics and iterating on them (or upturning them when invalidated), we tend to debate them repeatedly, even over decades as manufacturing methods and trends in society change. (this is me pining for a system like arguman[1] with the critical mass of wikipedia to help forge these debates into more reliable, long-term results) [1] - https://github.com/arguman/arguman.org
In The recycling myth: A plastic waste solution littered with failure
Let's hope that a well-constructed, well-behaved and well-participated argument forum maintained over long enough timescales can lead towards better outcomes for everyone. Best of luck with the project. You might be aware of it already, but just in case, the most progress I've seen in the area of web-based argument mapping has been Arguman ( https://github.com/arguman/arguman.org ). They're also following an open source model and there could be opportunities to co-operate and/or share ideas.
In Request for Technically Risky Projects
Ah, I had forgotten that https://en.arguman.org/ even existed, until reading this. This dates back to 2014 where Turkey was still struggling with the aftermath of widespread civil unrest. The entire nation found itself highly polarized while debates were fueled with mutual anger and disbelief. This is an "argument analysis platform", as they call it, and it is open source, too, maintained at https://github.com/arguman/arguman.org . The basic premise is the construction of an argument map, "arguably" a common utility to practice critical thinking. More info on that at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_map .
