certainty: certain
Confidence Rating
The confidence tag expresses how well-supported the content is, or how likely its overall ideas are right. This uses a scale from "impossible" to "certain", based on the Kesselman List of Estimative Words:
1. "certain"
2. "highly likely"
3. "likely"
4. "possible"
5. "unlikely"
6. "highly unlikely"
7. "remote"
8. "impossible"
Even ideas that seem unlikely may be worth exploring if their potential impact is significant enough.
·
importance: 7/10
Importance Rating
The importance rating distinguishes between trivial topics and those which might change your life. Using a scale from 0-10, content is ranked based on its potential impact on:
- the reader
- the intended audience
- the world at large
For example, topics about fundamental research or transformative technologies would rank 9-10, while personal reflections or minor experiments might rank 0-1.
