I Change My Mind 3 years ago

I thought you were going to talk about the book "How Minds Change" by David McRaney. Bummer. Great book.

I agree, I think we are looking at the problem wrong. And this is a very insightful comparison with the linkedin levels of connections idea. I am working on something with this. One thing to point out is that when we think of searching through information, we are searching though an information structure aka graph of knowledge. Whatever idea or search term we are thinking of is connected to a bunch of other ideas. All those connected ideas represent the search space or the knowledge graph we are trying to parse. So one way in the past people have tried to approach this is they try to make a predefined knowledge graph or an ontology around a domain. They try to set up the structure of how the information should be and then they fill in the data. The goal is to dynamically create an ontology., Idk if anyone has really figured this out. But, Palantir with Foundry does something related. They sorta dynamically create an ontology ontop of a company's data. This lets people find relationships between data and more easily search through their data. Check this out to learn more https://sudonull.com/post/89367-Dynamic-ontology-As-Palantir...
