This post sounds to me like the author almost invented prediction markets or other well-known expert-fusion information-aggregation techniques, but then fell into "not invented here" syndrome, rationalizing and hypothesizing unproven advantages to the tiny differences between histocracy and the other similar ideas.

Possibly this points out a flaw in our allocation of prestige - in order to correctly incent adoption, we need to spread prestige from the first or most well-known advocate of an idea to the early adopters. See Derek Siver's idea of the First Follower: http://sivers.org/ff
