New page

This is a place to build consensus on how the world should change, how people can make it happen, and why.

This is a "wiki"-style platform to link together big ideas, small details, and everything in between. Hopefully we can create a clear, coherent, viable picture of the changes that the world needs.

==What to expect==
===Hot takes and nuance===

Most other wikis are '''descriptive'''. For example Wikipedia describes the world ''as it is''.

This wiki is '''prescriptive'''. We boldly state how we think the world ''should'' be.
{{minor|Unlike Wikipedia, we embrace ''opinionated language'' and ''original research''.}}

We aren't an encyclopedia, but we do include scientific info insofar as it's ''relevant'' to making the world a better place. We don't believe in magic.

===Short pages, conclusion first===

Information is usually split into small pages (small compared to most other wikis).

It's common for a page to just say the main point and then link to separate pages for the details.

So if you're reading something that feels "oversimplified", "too dumbed down", or "[[Project:Citations|not citing sources]]", then keep clicking until you reach your level.

===Unwritten pages===

When links are in <span style="color:#D33;font-weight:bold">red</span>, they link to pages that haven't been written yet.

There are ''a lot'' of red links on this wiki, because we want to make room for details to be filled in later.

==Editing & contributing==

I had to disable editing, due to spammers. So for now, it's just a [[User:Elie|one-man show]]. I hope to open it again soon, after I build more of a foundation of content.

Ultimately this will be an open wiki. 


'''For now, if you have something to say, you can still post a comment on any ''talk page:''''' click the "discussion" tab on any wiki page.
{{minor|You might have to "create" that ''talk page'' if there are no discussions yet.}}

==Domain name==

'''olam.wiki''' comes from the word "olam" which just means "world" in hebrew. I tried other domain names but they were too expensive: ''world.wiki'', ''earth.wiki'', ''wiki.earth''. Another good one would have been ''solve.org'', but that's taken. Same with ''change.wiki''.

We are ''not'' affiliated with any organization/corporation that happens to have "olam" in its name.
