Listen now | Brief aside: A bunch of shuffling has occurred in the forward-looking topics as we approach two years of The Lindahl Letter.

The open internet and the triumph of the IEEE RFC model of continuous improvement and SHARED OWNERSHIP is the model that Academia needs to migrate toward. Bots and machine-generated content from bad actors like China do not subvert the open internet thanks to an enormous shared oversight. This is b/c oversight is shared and recognized as valuable. I think Academia must create a shared review infrastructure which squeezes out the bad actors and even pursues a registration and banning system that eliminates anonymous unverified content. This model has worked splendidly for the evolution of the internet and can work for academia I think.
