Hello! I really like my feed: I learn lots of new things about , , and .

However I'm missing some things--can you help me find them?

I want to talk more about people, working with them, their limitations and potential. I want to talk about , , , and other concrete things that can be tried (and falsified) in .

Let me know if you're interested, or boost if you think you have followers who are interested.

@douginamug If you speak French and you want to talk about #CognitiveBias and #CriticalThinking there's @HygieneMentale

I don't know any expert on voting systems, except #cgpgrey. But I don't think he's on Mastodon.

@douginamug
Concerning #voting, you may be interested by the #MajorityJudgment which is judged by its authors to be “superior to any known method of voting and to any known method of judging competitions, in theory and in practice”.

@julm @nemoudeis @HygieneMentale Thanks! I'll look into Majority judgment again. I'm a big fan of scoring as a way of expressing yourself in voting methods, however I remember being a bit skeptical of the decision rule based on the median and not the average score, but I'm motivated to look again now :)

On score voting methods, read chap17 (at least intro and outro) of the textbook on #MajorityJudgement
libgen.io/book/index.php?md5=B

Using medians is much less manipulable than sums or averages (which become more and more manipulable as the expressing scale grows).
And medians can preserve unchanged the expressing judgments, whereas a sum or an average is not necessarily an input, hence actually meaningless within the #CommonLanguage of the voters
