What do you think of the idea of “P2P Journalism” as a tool to chill everyone out? (slrpnk.net)

Peer to peer journalism is basically the practice of using yer melon to reality test the crap on your phone.

An example: I have a friend in a mid-high legal role in telecom. This person can be “my guy” to chat with about some issue in telecom I have discovered in the news that is giving me heartburn.

I cannot express my recent realization how bizarrely disconnected we are from our own ability to phone a friend and pick their brains. I mean, schedule it by messenger to manage the anxiety as needed. But it seems sort of important to get a clear view from higher ground these days.

I think the most obvious way to do this is just to prioritizes asking people and books answers instead of searching online or news. If there’s an issue that causes you stress ask a friend, someone like your example, or read about the topic.

I don’t get how your p2p system would work. How could one prove the representative on x topic was legit? Guess this is sort of like having a PhD in that field? This reminds me of the founding of the digital dictionary of Buddhism’s critique of Wikipedia being anonymous as it doesn’t encourage writers to be truthful.

Way too complex!

Stop stewing.

Seek comfort in the counsel of friends!
