Mission
America is spinning apart. We are a fledgling technology org with aims to counteract this by surfacing the beliefs of all citizens as common knowledge which we believe will salve both social media and electorally driven polarization.
Socially mediated polarization ranges from astroturfing to echo chambers, and all depend on the obfuscation of other citizens' thoughts. Our work aims to measure, directly as well as through media analysis, what it is people believe.
“A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy, or perhaps both.”
Electoral mechanics drive polarization via a primary system which privileges candidates despised by many. Our long-term objective is to shift the game theory of primaries such that the most generally popular, less polarizing, candidates will win.
