      It should be systematic. Like Amazon ratings for book authors, there should be reviews and reviews of the reviews. Ideally there is also some incentive for the writer to make predictions (eg an Augur bet at the bottom of each article where readers can take either side).https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1247130479041667072 …

      This is why I think digging up over-confident predictions people made 2-5 years ago that turned out horribly wrong and laughing at them is a great custom to have. We need at least social incentive to say things that are sane, and we need to be reminded of everyone's fallibility. https://twitter.com/vlad_zelinschi/status/1247106486586822657 …

      How about people just have more humility and audiences recognize human fallibility? Public ridicule mobs that dredge up old tweets already happen on here all the time. How many think it’s actually a productive way to ensure accountability?

      Agree with Renee, it's a terrible, terrible idea. You need to give people space to be wrong and change their mind. It's the opposite of accountability. NSTB does amazing no-fault post-mortems, that's why planes are so safe. Accountability should be broad, not micro-level.

          One issue is that many writers do not extend that grace to their subjects! Another is that they thump their chest about being the Truth. If there was a culture of admitting error, it’d be more like Github pull requests than status quo. https://store.nytimes.com/collections/new-york-times-truth-campaign …

          I don't disagree, media does this at times, too, and I object to them doing it as well.

          I don't disagree reputations matter, and we should have accountability, but nobody, nobody will survive constant dredging up of everything from years ago, especially in medium like Twitter that's designed engagement and RT/hearts rather than conversation/accountability.

          The Internet would be so much better if changing your mind after digesting new information was considered cool and laudable. Instead, there's a default to "I've always been right, you're an asshole." Pretty weird, since we learn most things by getting better at being wrong.

          Pseudonymity may be a mechanism for doing this. You can learn in public under a search-resistant identity.
