Here’s another update on pol.is. I saw them at the Personal Democracy Forum conference this summer, and was quite intrigued by what they’re trying to do.

Nowadays, algorithms/AI/Big Data is being used by Google, FB, et. al., seeing us more as “consumers” rather than “citizens” with their ad-driven biz models, that hack our lizard brains.

What’s refreshing about them is they’re using technology to bring tribes closer together rather than balkanizing the internet into echo chambers.
