I found this website while reading the comments section of a blog post. I am interested in working on a Wikipedia-like website that deals with factual controversies as described in Eric Drexler's blog post. I think this website is similar to what Drexler envisioned and I hope I can make some valuable contributions to this website.

Quotes
