“The Encyclosphere would give everyone an equal voice in expressing knowledge (or claims to knowledge), and in rating those expressions of knowledge. There would be no single, central knowledge repository or authority.”

No thanks!

That sounds like Reddit with its up votes and down votes.

Try an experiment.

Go to the Reddit subforum r/politics.

Say something good--that is demonstrably true--about Donald Trump. You'll have negative votes.

Now say something bad--that is just totally false--and you'll have hundreds of up votes.

The Encyclosphere would devolve the same way.

Good point.
