Incidentally reflecting one of the better mechanisms for information filtering.
Party A states some claim / makes an observation.
Party B curates that as relevant.
This isn't always viable, and can of course be gamed or subject to low-quality curation. But it at least disintermediates interests.
The Internet Archive uses a similar mechanism in choosing which YouTube content to archive. It monitors Twitter for YouTube links, and uses that as a filter for curating YouTube content. (Brewster Kahle in an interview or documentary I'd watched / listened to recently. Probably a video as it doesn't seem to be in my podcast episodes index.)
Sure. Teaching and learning through social means was one of the great apes' big achievements. It's why we're dominant. Thus, today I believe it's scientifically non-contentious to view humanity as a single, evolving, temperospatial hive mind accelerating with compounding killer apps of language, literacy, and information systems.
Incidentally, try the recent French computer game Ancestors, it's very well executed on this very subject.
