I am VERY interested in this project. Brilliant. Thank you for undertaking it. A small comment: as objectionable as the French post-modernists may be, it seems if you want an accurate survey of people's philosophical make up, they should be included. Many young people have been immersed (brainwashed?) in their thinking via Academia and Hollywood. On a related front, are you going to include a nod to the work of Howard Zinn, another master propagandist whose work masquerades as scholarship?
There will be extended surveys that cover populist memes and their tribal affiliations. These are likely to be more familiar than the philosophers and theologians. As I mentioned, Limberg’s mapping of 32 tribes will certainly suss out the SJAs and the MGTOW tribes — those with strong feelings that are disconnected to deep roots. I'm working on that today.
I read, "enneagram" and "got to find my people". So, what are the planned commercial prospects for customizing and extending this capability for special communities of interest?
The commercial prospects are fairly big by my own idiot projections. I'm basically trying to help folks discriminate their communities by a wholly new set of attributes. You might say that I am disaggregating all of the essentialist, populist dimensions that we're fixated on while our entire electoral process is populist. I'm building a curated path to work around fast identity fashion.
As part and parcel of this, I'm quite serious when I talk about self-sovereign identity. I know that pretty much every crypto holder has that. But right now nobody is allowing me to authenticate myself based on some central ID I have that's anchored to an HMAC and serious authentication. But just like I want that kind of identity and I want to control my federation, millions of people will want that in the future. I want to be the alternative to gmail and facebook being the oligopoly of online identity. I want more stuff like Keybase, and GPG with IAM roles that are brain-dead simple to get in and get out.
Right now the commercial Finapps are closest to that. Like Stripe and Plaid. But they are fundamentally leverages into commerce. I want leverage into something different. Every one of those big guys uses shadow brokers that Incogni cannot seem to break. Again, I'm trying to do what may not be possible, but I think it's at least as big as Reddit or Discord.
At some point, I believe that the major providers are going to face a backlash. When people decide to shrink their surface areas, I will win. Remember that I am convinced that Dunbar's Number is correct. Most people don't have the authentication authority to handle power of attorney for their own families. That's the kind of stuff you don't want Zuck's fingerprints on.
I basically assume that I will be hacked by the NSA. It's their world. But I don't like the flavor of the identity malls of today. We can do better. I'll need some shmoo help, for sure.
I'd be very interested in being a beta tester. Beyond that, I've got access to an ultra discrete self-sorting sovereign community numbering in the thousands for whom this capability would undoubtedly be in very high demand - with a pair of adjacent communities soon to follow.
Please hit me up at maestro@alum.mit.edu with any non-public requirements or details.
I've written (at least) one essay over at The Other McCain on how the GOP doesn't really have a central organizing ideology per se: we always have been the Party of No.
Meanwhile, Grok and I have been kicking around the notion of writing an SF novel using the Spanish Civil War (MUCH harder than it looks because the SCW is fractally weird) and it seems to think I have a strong resemblance to Colonel Juan Yague. I think I need to kick up the prayers a notch or ten. At least it didn't say Millan Astray, so I have that going for me.
