i created and abandoned a project gathering developers not to do anything. people odly understood :) there was going to be a yearly newsletter that was never send out and participants were free to do other equally unimportant things together using the name of the org (that was never picked) overal it was a hilarious experience. most of the work was in assuring people they would not be contacted for anything.


right, we have to create value for the masses and find public attention/marketing for it. This is going to be hard.


If you write a negative book about a collection of topics and make it diverse enough not to have to go in detail you can tailor it such that wikipedia becomes the perfect promotion vehicle. It has to be negative since removing positive material is much easier than either writing it or removing negative material. (There is often some sub-human narcissist volunteer willing to preserve negativity.)

Sober neutral voices get nothing done. You have to be extreamly biased


It's literally never not amazing to have crypto fans claim not being a crypto fan is a conflict of interest, BUT owning the crypto they're promoting isn't a COI.


to give a fun example for those who didnt run into this silly agenda.

"free energy" use to produce countless results that now require extra keywords.

Under "free energy suppression" you find professionally crafted hatemongering. The actual list of claimants is huge, non of it is here. https://peswiki.com/directory:suppression#Wiki_2796702

"free energy device" also produces really crappy results compared to what it was.

It only seems like things argued not to exist may or must be scrubbed from seach results. Astrology wasn't scrubed nor was any religion. Everything has its history too!


I just searched for “free energy” with both google and bing and with both engines got a combination of the use in actual thermodynamics plus “omg free energy device exist coverup!” type results.

I think dns (and many other "trivial" to implement sensitive services) should be a gov service. Preferably the eu and idealy made usable for anyone.


It makes organic indexing impossible, there is no point making your own website like this. Its even insulting calling hardworked content spam.


This is the point of nofollow, to get rid of small websites and to prevent them. The spam story is nonsens, it does nothing spam protection related.


5000 classified patents per year in the US alone. No one else publishes a number.

Modest estimate would be 200 000 over the last 30-40 years.

Some of it must relate to energy.


Those patents aren't about fundamentals in physics. This is a physics problem not a product/market problem.

There are plenty of patents on energy just not many fundamental breakthroughs.
