Opinion and Opinion Response and Opinion Response
I am a web front-end engineer.
In my spare time, I am the initiator of the g0v Cofacts mass cooperation project , and I have also initiated mass cooperation projects such as the Comparison Table of Positive and Negative Opinions from the Economic Zone, the Comparison Table of Political Opinions of the Mayor of Taipei in 2014 , and the List of Commitments for the 2016 Presidential Election .
I like to connect different viewpoints together.
This idea originated during the Sunflower Movement. At that time, I was a graduate student looking for a graduation theme, and was immediately surrounded by positive and negative discussions on the service trade. B wrote an article in response to A's questioning, and C wrote an article attacking B's loopholes, and so on. . At that time, I was thinking, if there is a tool that can remind me to read this article of B when I read the article of A, it would be cool. [1]
Later, the projects I initiated in g0v all have some features:
1. Match A and B together. In the comparison table project, it is to try to put together opinions from different positions and the same topic, so that the arguments confront each other; Cofacts implements this "contrast" in "verification instant messages", and encourages editors to provide support for their own narratives references or subjective opinions.
2. Open mass collaboration, let people from different positions fill in what they want to fill in, and confront each other (?).
In the free economic market, we will compare different products before making a decision; and then there are products such as price comparison networks, which help us collect the same or similar products and compare them together, reducing the effort of our search.
I think the speech market also needs something similar[2] - after all, it is much more difficult to understand an argument than to understand a product, not to mention searching for the opposite argument in the vast sea.
[1] Later, when I reported Cofacts at RightsCon, I met the author of http://rbutr.com/ by chance, and found that rbutr basically realized what I wanted to do.
[2] In fact, during the service trade period in 2014, some Taiwanese in the United States made a platform http://platoforum.herokuapp.com/cover , which is to argue against different positions. In addition, Arguman and debater are also good tools.
Like my work? Don't forget to support and clap, let me know that you are with me on the road of creation. Keep this enthusiasm together!
