  1. a lot of human and environmental based problems and solutions are already ‘mapped’ by governments in europe… Voting granularity is provided by the ability to opt in (or sometimes opt out) of particular choices in solution options…. What you seem to be asking for is socilism.

    1. Hi Oliver. Are any of these maps something I can see right now? I want to visualize the whole mass of human problems as a 3D structure. Is work to agree upon what we as a species need and what we will consider “progress” the work of socialism? Is it a threatening thing, this map I propose? I’m very curious why no map of human problems already exists. Perhaps you nailed it: People only care locally. That’s fine, but I still want, for my own educational use, this model to examine, to watch. I may have to build it myself. Hope not.

      1. This is a starting point, subsets are published in various ways periodically, often with maps and charts, in addition there are government sites that provide the ‘solutions’ end to go along with the statistics available at this site.

        Yes it would be nice to have everything combined neatly and in a browsable manner, that is a slightly separate issue that is in the process of being resolved, the issue that data access is limited to certain groups of people, though again this is more or less, if not completely resolved, pending collation of that data in a usable format… one example would be publication of twitter data

  2. Great! Thank you very much, a great start. The statistics UK data-scape there is very similar to what I envision, but it needs another consistent layer before the publications layer; it needs an “issues” layer. Issues/problems give the reasons for the topics which contain them and focus the publications. I’d like all other sites like this I can find, to merge them into a graphical navigable entity. People have done the work, it just needs to be packaged in a visually enjoyable and wildly useful tool.
