This is a wiki to analyze what it really takes to build a better world. I believe that revolutionary change is possible & necessary - but first we need a clear picture of what it is that we want & need - not just politically, but also physically. This is a platform for that. | This is a wiki to analyze what it really takes to build a better world.

This is a platform for that. | ||
--> | |||
This is a place to build consensus on how the world should change, how people can make it happen, and why. | |||
This is a "wiki"-style platform to link together big ideas, small details, and everything in between. Hopefully we can create a clear, coherent, viable picture of the changes that the world needs. | |||
==What to expect== | |||
===Hot takes and nuance=== | |||
==Editing== | Most other wikis are '''descriptive'''. For example Wikipedia describes the world ''as it is''. | ||
This wiki is '''perscriptive'''. We boldly state how we think the world ''should'' be. | |||
{{minor|Unlike Wikipedia, we embrace ''opinionated language'' and ''original research''.}} | |||
We aren't an encyclopedia, but we do include scientific info insofar as it's ''relevant'' to <!--social change-->making the world a better place. We don't believe in magic. | |||
===Short pages, conclusion first=== | |||
Information is usually split into small pages (small compared to most other wikis). | |||
It's common for a page to just say the main point and then link to separate pages for the details. | |||
So if you're reading something that feels "oversimplified", "too dumbed down", or "[[Project:Citations|not citing sources]]", then keep clicking until you reach your level. | |||
===Unwritten pages=== | |||
When links are in <span style="color:#D33;font-weight:bold">red</span>, they link to pages that haven't been written yet. | |||
There are ''a lot'' of red links on this wiki, because we want to make room for details to be filled in later. | |||
==Editing & contributing== | |||
I had to disable editing, due to spammers. So for now, it's just a [[User:Elie|one-man show]]. I hope to open it again soon, after I build more of a foundation of content. | I had to disable editing, due to spammers. So for now, it's just a [[User:Elie|one-man show]].

Ultimately this will be an open wiki. | Ultimately this will be an open wiki. <!--🙏 😊--> | ||
