> Additionally, if one was to ponder how nutritional guidelines for content consumption might sound like for the public at large, they for sure wouldn’t advocate for reduced memetic variability across society, but would encourage individuals to independently stray off course once in a while, avoiding reaching a local optimum on a societal level.

This doesn't feel correct to me. In the analogy of avoiding a local minimum you are increasing the variability slightly so you don't get trapped, but the reason you get trapped is that you're aiming "higher", i.e. the overarching goal is to move from semi random starting points towards 'better' in the terms of the current metric.

So this appears to be talking about a plan for doing one thing, while claiming to do the opposite.

Though the fact that it's personalized, may actually provide this, while also defeating the other purpose (i.e. it could lead you deeper into a flat earth rabbit hole by finding you the exact content best placed to meet your need for more challenging flat earth content at that point).

Not sure how it can achieve both goals at the same time.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply! If I understood correctly, you argue that the lexiscore might still lead you down a rabbit hole, even if through ever more challenging ideas, rather than helping you find nutritious content outside that echo chamber.

If you're really "skilled at" or fluent in the flat earth perspective, then content which presents a wildly different perspective on the same topic would get labeled as highly nutritious (or at least this was the intention). I understand your concern, and see how "advanced" content from the same ideological background might make it there, though I think there must be a point where you can't get more advanced at it, following which related content will fall in the boring sector, leaving the conflicting takes in the sweet spot (in theory).

It's also relevant to highlight something mentioned in the discussion towards the end, that actively moving across the diagonal channel (i.e. consuming both challenging content in a familiar topic, but also accessible content in unfamiliar topics) might be a further improvement, though this is not explicitly implemented in this initial version of the thing.
