| Posted: 12 Dec 2009 05:14 AM PST You'd need to implement something like that in a hierarchical manner, not unlike slashdot. The number of submissions would dramatically increase due to its free nature while the quality would surely decline, and nobody wants to sit there and read a large percentage of questionable work to determine if it's valid and if so if the results are correct. New submissions could be subject to quick reviews for validity testing (with moderation of course, people who troll by negatively reviewing and voting down new papers without actually reading them or considering their results, or for any bias should be barred from such reviews), and once a paper has been verified it can move on to a stage where people who don't want to sift through garbage to find the gold can really scrutinize them and see if they stand up. Why not make such a website? fivefilters.org featured article: Normalising the crime of the century by John Pilger |

| Book reviews: Should I include them or not? - Examiner Posted: 12 Dec 2009 04:52 AM PST This is a brief piece meant to pique the interest of fellow readers; those who like me are voraciously devouring what is new and what is not in an attempt to become either more knowledgeable or less stupid (like me.) Over the course of my life, I have read over 8500 books (averaging twenty-six years of reading at 28 books a month.) and currently own a library consisting of over 1200 books, including Science Fiction, Religious, Historical, Fantasy, Action, Detective Fiction, Non-Fiction, Text Books and more. Though a bit of a curse I have learned to read faster and retain more, resulting in a unwinnable situation in which I tend to spend more on my books than on any other hobby. So now, I write and use that knowledge gained over the course of my life to reference throughout what I write. I ask you all if I should in fact begin doing book reviews for the discerning Libertarian; you know those books that apply directly or indirectly to the cause of freedom and our pursuit of a better life? A short list of books follows I have found them to be important over time to both my life and growth as an adult but also to my changes politically. 1. Messages and Papers of the Presidents 1789-1897 (James D. Richardson) Pub. 1897 Now please bear in mind this shows just a small cross-section of what I own or have read, please feel free to mention books as well. Some of what is listed may be apart of a series if this is the case I have the series as well. I also tend to purchase Authors, and will read everything they write. I have done this with the above-mentioned list as well. So to have a book review once or twice a month or not and should I keep it strictly to what relates directly to the Idea of Libertarianism or not? fivefilters.org featured article: Normalising the crime of the century by John Pilger |
