Nothing is censored on Canonizer, but you can't stop someone from creating a camp to point out how evil a camp is. And of course the good camps will achieve far more consensus than the haters in lonely camps, finally achieving some trusted sources of information.</div><div><br></div><div>Just FYI, our 3.0 from the ground up rewrite of Canonizer.com is about to go live, so it might finally be a bit more usable.</div><div>I trust all you guys so <a href="https://beta.canonizer.com/">here is an early link to our beta version of canonizer</a>. Do you think this is any better than the <a href="https://canonizer.com/">current 2.0 version of Canonizer.com</a>?</div><div><br></div><div>Nobody can do this alone. We need help from people to achieve a critical mass. Otherwise I fear we will all end up destroying ourselves as we approach the singularity.</div><div>Before you bleat or tweet something questionable, canonize it so people can have a chance to weigh in on, and build consensus around the most moral camp.</div><div><br></div><div>Building and tracking consensus is what I'm working to do differently!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Brent</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Dec 13, 2022 at 7:57 AM Dave S via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-family:Arial;font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:0.875rem">On Tuesday, December 13th, 2022 at 9:45 AM, spike jones via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" target="_blank">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:</span></div><div><br><blockquote type="cite">
