You could also delegate your votes to people without them participating in the platform [1].

For example, you could delegate on Bill Gates because his opinions are already gathered on topics such as a carbon tax and basic income [2]. This data is added by people & bots from Bill Gates' blog, tweets, newspapers, etc.

I didn't know about Deep Work! I added you and part of your comment to the list of people who prefer (and who do not prefer) remote-work: https://goo.gl/74E3BS

I didn't say that we are smarter.

However, a smaller brain might have been better at that time. For example, a bigger brain requires more energy.

On the other hand, death in childbirth was a major hazard for females. Although I think Neanderthals' brain size at childbirth was similar to that of modern-day babies - but later it grew faster.

Neanderthals had bigger brains than us

Interesting list of who does and who does not support universal basic income https://goo.gl/VxKSdN

In the risks we should take into account problems caused by mass unemployment (caused by AI).

By the way, there is a list of who does and who does not think there is a serious risk for society (of any type) within the next 50 years: https://goo.gl/Oe7S6e

Thanks for the feedback!

Do you mean a threaded discussion per topic or per opinion?

"Actual alternative facts do exist because we often select the facts we represent based on our tribal affiliations"

I wrote about this recently:

"When we are interested in a topic and have time, we read about it and contrast different points of views. But when we don’t have time or are not interested in something, we believe what our culture, friends and influencers say. And we are so bombarded with information nowadays that we can’t get informed about everything all the time" [1]

Do you think that a site tracking expert's opinions on important topics might help?

That's what we are doing on AgreeList.com / Wikiopinion.org We haven't decided yet if it should be a for-profit startup or a nonprofit organisation.

Do you think this would help to tackle fake news?

Database of people who agree/disagree on Brexit and why: http://www.agreelist.com/brexit

Some friends have an open source but easy to use as a service online voting platform: https://nvotes.com

There is an open letter signed by 65 advocacy organizations in 31 countries against Internet.org https://www.facebook.com/notes/accessnoworg/open-letter-to-m...

Great points! I added some of them to AgreeList [1].

For example on [2] you can see that Richard Branson also agrees on the advice "trust your gut".
