Imagine a website where we crowdsource the generation of a perfect question for everybody in the country and expect a long answer from it. We can crowdfund the reward for answering and the answer shall be public for research purposes | |
I am curious what information is valuable even from an average person and collecting it for storage for future generations. You could pay everyone £1 for taking part.
What would your question be for everyone?
Like a census but for useful questions.

Because "a perfect question" has not been defined. And a crowd-sourced "perfect question" is unlikely to make much more sense than "What is the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything?" |
|
| |
No you misunderstand. I was suggesting the perfect question. |
|
| |
Ah, of course. Here is your £1* share of the crowd-sourced £70m. Don't spend it all at once. |
|

*adjusted by a reasonable administration and handling fee of £1. |

There used to be a poll site called ask500people.com which tanked from lack of interest. They never had anywhere near 500 people responding. |

Our own model, "ask a handful of weird, grumpy people" is clearly superior. |

We are at least 2 decades late for using internet as direct democracy. What should be happening is: 1) People put their concept to referendum. 2) If a critical mass of people (20,000? More?) upvote the idea, then it goes to nationwide referendum. At the federal level, people would have to vote, at most, once or twice a day. |

I recently met another in a long line of Russian idiots, but this one told me that Russians "did not need" democracy. Fine, I said, but what can it hurt to have the system I've described, if only to check whether they secretly crave democracy anyway? |
|
| |
The nice thing about the internet is that no one has to ask the government if people can put up democratic polls yet. |
