So all the views on various things in the world would be put up in a clear graph that members of any one group could fill out. Then a graphic would be created showing where there was agreement on those various things. Then you'd click on any number of groups to have a Venn diagram chart showing where
how they compared to each other. Could even make it 3D so you rotate it around and zoom in on various issue interactions.
You could even come up with a "consensus rating".
I think this could have value in politics. What if for instance everybody on the left and right agreed on something and didn't even know it? Could this be a way to actually get something done in this contentious society?
What if for instance everybody agreed to cutting the 500 million dollar a year budget for the "Office Of Financial Asset Allocation Assessment And Budget Valuation Equity Holdings Appraisal" by say... 10%? upon finding out that they don't actually do anything?
Naa, just kidding. Government agencies don't care what the people think, especially those stupid populists representing the majority will of the people. And once a government agency is created it can't be shut down for any reason, so it probably wouldn't work for that.
But maybe you could use this for other things? I do like the idea of the people communicating and this might be a step towards facilitating that.
This is one of those "Is this already out there?" things because if it is I'd be curious to have a look at it. I know we're instructed about what we are supposed to debate and what we're not supposed to debate since division is an important control mechanism. To be clear, you'd be able to zoom in on any one group and click where they stand compared to any other group.
I don't even know where most of people stand on anything but the couple of controversies we're supposed to obsess over, like pronouns, DEI, misbehaving celebrities etc.
