7 years ago Really interesting questions, Eric! I just listened to this really interesting episode from OnBeing - one of my favorite podcasts. The interview was with Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia. I'm wondering if their sort of community ethos and software might be a helpful framework for this fact-checking site. They also touch on "truth" toward the end of the episode. I'd recommend giving it a listen! http://www.onbeing.org/program/jimmy-wales-the-sum-of-all-human-knowledge/8916
