In my database class looking through wikidata item ids and for some reason I am emotional because the first 7 are

Q1 universe

Q2 earth

Q3 life

Q4 death

Q5 human

Q6 the human genome

Q8 happiness

This is a database that exist to chronicle (under the category item) every item: everything that exists or doesn't exist. Everything. There are item ids (q and number) in the hundred millions. And the first seven are about fundamental existence.

Something about trying to rationalise and systemise human knowledge still beginning with the intangible and overawing humbles me

So, when creating a Wikidata entry for a person, it's good to list different variations of their name...with and without middle name, middle initial, maiden name, etc. Sometimes there are as many as nine or ten. But Jeeeeeesus, WTF Tony?

That is certainly one way to use data to describe what humans value at the moment.

A Roundup of Current ResearchBuzz / Calishat Resources

I’ve gotten a few new Patreons recently and decided to do a writeup of the resources I’ve made that are available to Patreons only. But then I thought, “Wait, I should also do a list of all the freely-available resources I’ve made too, because there’s a lot of those.” And finally my actual neurons kicked in and I thought, “I should do one post on ResearchBuzz for the free stuff and one post on…

Today is the Agreed Upon Solutions election day voting snapshot! We've reset all votes and are recalculating from scratch, so come vote!

Agreed Upon Solutions is an experimental freelance democracy, designed to find out what people would support if given a much more expressive voting system; then to backport the results in bulk to our actual government. We're building it like a game, but the ultimate goal is to design and build voting software capable of tackling really complex and nuanced questions. Our roadmap goes all the way to writing fully fleshed out laws.

We're holding a vote we call Every Thing, over 157,000 topics extracted from Wikidata. If Wikipedia knows about it, it's on this list. You can comment and vote on literally all concepts: everything from "abortion" and "climate change," to "fatigue as safety concern" and "infant mental health". Our goal today is to get as accurate a summary as possible of opinions on the day of the election, both to have a record and to provide an explicit example of how democracy can be used to reach consensus decisions.

We need votes, and we especially need comments on topics, because every comment is a potential new dimension for analysis. We'll be using this data going forward for visualizations, experiments with automated summaries, cluster finding, everything you can imagine.

If you've ever thought to yourself, "Man, wouldn't it be great if we had a democracy where we could vote on absolutely anything," you have a chance to do that now. Come check us out!
