yes!! I'd "score it" relatively. Get everyone in your cluster to take it. If everyone answers one way, and you don't, then you're not in the cluster. If it turns out there's actually two clusters, then it wasn't one ideology to begin with. The categories are not known ahead of time, they are revealed by the game
hmm, does this seem accurate? The advantage of "memome" is it's already the name of the thing that people recognize (in the other post I show a blog from 2003 talking about it!)
> "Human Memnome Project" draws from "Mnemosyne," the Greek goddess of memory, making it more classically rooted. The "mn" combination directly references the Greek word for memory (mneme), which appears in terms like "mnemonic" and "amnesia." This version has a more scholarly, classical feel.
> "Human Memome Project" follows the more familiar "-ome" suffix pattern used in modern biology (genome, proteome, connectome, etc.). It's more immediately recognizable as a scientific project name and flows more naturally in contemporary scientific discourse. The "mem-" prefix is simpler and more intuitive for general audiences.
> From a branding and communication perspective, "Memome" would likely be easier for people to understand and remember, since it follows established scientific naming conventions. "Memnome" is more etymologically precise but might require more explanation.
Correct on all counts, except that I am also drawing from genome (gene + nome) with mem from meme and nome from the suffix root. While I see a connection between this and mnemonics, in this word, I'm mostly borrowing the memetic capital of mnemonic to excuse the pronunciation as mee-nome.
Most of my real life disagreements have fit within this framing - despite clarifying the exact meaning of things the ~~vibes~~ around a term play too much into actual discussion. The understanding of common terms certainly fits into which groups you participate in, even if the meaning itself doesn't differ. Otherwise, I feel as if many people broadly agree, certainly so past the 'natural' groupings that develop. Breaking through this would make for a better world.
Incredibly, incredibly relevant and useful. Much gratitude for your continued work in this space.
Going to go play with the polarised word thingy now and figure out how to translate this to the culture shapers to be used for the forces of convergence xoxo
Beautiful.
It's an Ideological Turing Test you can actually take, but the rub is in how you would actually "score" people's answers.

Cute tool. I still think you should call it the Human Memnome project.

Also bad mouth feel

Very well reckoned.
:) It's just my preference.
