where prediction trumps paradigm
where prediction trumps paradigm
It's a template for a trust network of humans working on surfacing & propagating truth.
The goal of ORI is to be the largest open instance of that network. There is no way to compete with ORI, because anyone publishing useful information & predictions publicly is already contributing to ORI.
Resources flow towards any node in the network that makes effective use of that category of resources. Status & attention accrue towards the earliest to originate or surface useful ideas. Capital accrues towards the best execution.
To find your nearest ORI, look for the community that has the best predictions on the internet + a mechanism for you to contribute.
1. You start out with questions you have about the world. It doesn't matter if the answers exist somewhere; it matters if YOU understand it & can apply it.
2. Once you learn something, you blog or make a video about it, to shorten the path for someone like past you.
3. You keep doing this until you can recognize the frontier of human knowledge. Here you either contribute to it, or continue to maintain the channel you've dug.
The proof of work is the work itself. Success is rewarded automatically by its own fruits. Your ability to recognize the frontier allows you to make better life / business decisions. A novel contribution rewards you with attention & status, which can be converted to money, or with money directly.
A scientist who discovers a simple way to solve a problem many people have, and wants someone to take it & apply it.
Someone in industry who has a problem, and wants to know if a solution exists, or if this is a useful open problem that scientists would want to know about.
An investor (or science communicator) who wants to find the next big breakthrough before others do.
A student who wants to accelerate their learning while simultaneously contributing to the propagation of good ideas in society.
The whole system is interdependent. The smart people who solve hard problems cannot contribute to society if their ideas are not propagating.
The frontier is bottlenecked by the backtier.
