For 3) Solve democracy, a friend showed me pol.is (neat demo of it: https://pol.is/demo/2demo).

Anyway, it's description is..."pol.is brings AI & machine learning to participatory democracy. Scale up outreach in online consultation & get powerful insights that can shape and legitimize policy." It would be amazing if U.S. politics could be grounded in legitimate understanding of each other.

The problem is not making the tools, it's getting everybody to learn and use them.

I'm wondering if some kind of mind-map/graph mashed-up with a wikipedia model and "likes" on each node, can help drive decisions or is it just too naive/simplistic and low adoption

It starts with the issue that most people don't especially like to use computers and will avoid them if they can.
