The power of sharing, and graphs

Superintelligent AI might be in our future, but superintelligent humanity is possible today!

The power of sharing

If you have been part of a (good) study group, you know the power of sharing written knowledge with others. Studying the same body of knowledge makes it easier to communicate with your partners. Easier communication leads to faster processing of ideas, and with that speed, you can afford to consider more kinds of ideas. With each member contributing knowledge (notes), and each cooperatively helping to organize that knowledge, we can understand more material, more quickly.

And that is only the power of sharing in small groups about one subject.

Sharing and graphs

Semantic Synchrony lets any number of people share any number* of notes about any number of things. A graph can have millions of notes and still most views will load in the blink of an eye.

A knowledge graph, moreover, makes it easier to organize, easier to search through, and easier to read the knowledge we collect. The connections empowers readers to choose their own path through knowledge -- "show me examples", "show me why this is important", "show me definitions of these things", "show me who disagrees", "show me the next thing in [wise person]'s syllabus", etc.

And it's not a very complex application to use! The graph contains nothing but "notes", and each note is ordinary text -- a name, a concept, a question, a paragraph, an email, a paper, even a whole book. The graph just lets you draw and follow connections between them.
