Sounds good but needs a different name.

Agreed. After the ugly image of Swalwell-Fartboy with the Chinese Honeypot and all the other China no-good, don’t want to be a sucker to something obvious.

Yeah I take issue with description of taoism is the best one anyone. I always took it as more of a pursuit of harmony, or a blurring of the lines of division between entities or identities. The ‘pursuit of truth’ is more of a generic description of philosophy.

Conceptually, a search engine is simple. Crawl the internet and catalogue the content.

Logistically, it’s a massive enterprise, and to be effective you need to focus on search result contextual relevance. In that way, I suppose a ‘pursuit of truth’ is fitting. But this is where the algorithms come into play. You need a way to efficiently index exabytes of data so that you can quickly point the way to the most relevant out of all of it. This is where the subjective nature of the algorithm’s authoring comes into play, not to mention intentionally subjective filtering.
