[P2P-F] Fwd: Ancient Athens didn't have politicians. Is there a lesson for us?

[Apostolis Xekoukoulotakis]

The solution I want to implement for the centralized media problem is this:

Having each person being a transmitter of information. Till now, the
transmission only happens to our friends(facebook) or followers(twitter).

Each person would put a weight on the trustwortiness and abilities of a
friend. Each person would then receive a piece of information and a rating
of its usefullness. That person would compute the weighted average (many
sources) and then transmit automatically that information to those that
trust him.

This way, people could filter and rank information. One could also filter
videos(from youtube or any other source). Then one could very easily watch
the filtered stream of videos he trusts.

One more thing that you could do is search those trusted pieces of
information.

Computing the weighted average is a linear equation and that way we can
reduce database seeks, so that it can be technically possible.
Watching a stream of videos (without stopping) will require some javascript
knowledge.
