You may be a dreamer, but so am I. Perhaps we should talk. :)
As it happens, I do have in mind a desgin of a distributed, open source approach that should circumvent this problem, at least in the area of social news. I am not sure however if the Less Wrong crowd would find it relevant for me to discuss that in an article.
I think it is relevant because better social-news sites on the web would lead to better conversations about advancing the art of human rationality, which is the core mission of Less Wrong.
