  1. @marenmayer just submitted a revised paper:

    Cultural consensus theory (CCT) for two-dimensional location judgments
    psyarxiv.com/unhvc/

    #CCT provides estimates of the shared, latent #consensus knowledge of a group of informants (similar to #WisdomOfCrowds), while accounting for heterogeneity in informant competence & item difficulty.

    We develop a new CCT model for location judgments which are obtained when asking informants to locate a set of unknown sites on a map.

  2. How might we cultivate personal and collective habits of taking a #StepBack, to look at layers of wider context, nested inside each other. For example, we want federated platforms. Why? Because we want freedom to communicate and deliberate. Why? Because we believe the #WisdomOfCrowds can be leveraged to solve otherwise intractable social problems. Why?
