World splitting app
Every time you answer a question, you split the world's territory in half into people that agree people that disagree | |
An app that quizzes you on your political beliefs.
An app that shows a map of the region around you with
coloured blobs on the map of your people.
You're encouraged to move towards your people.
Eventually if people use the app for long enough, we get
neighbourhoods where everyone living
in the same area
believe
the same things politically.

| |
If you don't believe the same as everyone else, you're
encouraged to move to be far away from the beliefs you
cannot tolerate with all the other weirdos. |
|
| |
This app is sufficiently different than ideological matching
because it has a map. |
|
| |
Can you elaborate why ideological segregation is a bad idea? |
|
| |
I think it would create prosperity. People can be around
people who believe the same things. Can be friendly with
your neighbours because they got your back. |
|
| |
Eventually can vote for laws that affect certain regions. Can
get neighbourhoods where different housing association laws.

Woah, that escalated quickly. |
|
| |
let me guess, you're a left wing liberal who thinks they are
very smart and right all the time? |
|
| |
I ... don't *think* he is. After all, the latest wave of left-
liberal thinking is towards "safe spaces", which is a move
*towards* ghettoization (and consonant with the present
idea), whereas [kdf]'s comment is *against* ghettoization. |
|
| |
Not saying whether [kdf] is right or wrong, just that he's not
following the current left-liberal script, FWIW. |
|
| |
This is actually what every neuron is doing (fire or not/), just binary. Btw.,
questions are not always binary, they can be multiple choice, where you
have multiple |
|
| |
it could quiz you with multiple choice and create a world
split by how many choices there are. |
|
| |
The goal is to divide territories up by what people believe is
true. |
|
| |
left wing neighbourhood
right wing neighbourhood. |
|
| |
You would quickly find that communist communes are really
run down places. |
|
| |
Not a new idea, widely known to exist, etc. Etc. |
|
| |
"Are you catholic or protestant?" |
|
| |
"Yes that's fine but are you a catholic atheist or a protestant atheist?" |
|
| |
What the wise one said above me ^ |

Will the last person to leave the planet please shut off the sun? |

As with the internet, if you only have people with a narrow
view (whatever the subject) grouped together, you get the
"echo chamber" effect; things tend to stagnate or go round
in circles.
That's one of the up-sides to the halfbakery: we are from all
over the place (physically, politically, etc...). |
|
| |
The world is too fragmented and not unified enough. |
|
| |
This app would change that. You'd finally know where your
brethren are and where to move to. What events to follow. |
