**************************************
My philosophy in a thought penned some late evening that probably describes me

Let no direction be your master....No bearing your slave
With every whim and fancy as your guide
Sip away every drop of freedom that comes your way.
Why aren't we drifting more often
Isn't that what the mind yearns
When did routine shackle us down
That feeling we d routinely love to spurn
Keep trudging on that path,surfing that tide,soaring with that draft
For the shackles are imaginary....the yearning real






******Room:The Echo chamber decimation project*******
What follows is a summary of the fantastic discussion :

(
Neutral news can be found at ;
>Substack
>Revue
>www.improvethenews.org ->an MIT project
)

FOR clubhouse being the solution:
> Not ‘hit and run’:
Longer time span to flesh out views(as opposed to 140 chars or sound bytes)

> Not a curated audience:
Random sample of the population as opposed to curated viewpoints

> Showrunner neutrality:
Moderators play an important role in neutrality - essentially the editor.
Also should shut down voices that are abusive!

>Curiosity:
Can drive attention to contrarian debates?

> Acknowledge extremes, cater to the middle:
We only care about the huge middle part of the spectrum that craves for a balanced debate

>Numbers for participation:
A critical mass for participative groups- gets unwieldy after 600-800 people?
Becomes another personality driven ‘talk at you’ channel if the app becomes too big

AGAINST clubhouse being the solution:

> Algorithm inclusive?:
Does the clubhouse algorithm already do what big tech news algos are striving for and not just recommending one side of the spectrum rooms?

> Splintering of audiences:
of rooms into groups after an initial meeting of minds
