Like my polarization work? Vote for me in this essay contest

Update: I won the contest. Thank you for your support.

If you’ve liked what I’ve been doing with my work on reducing toxic polarization, do me a favor and vote for my essay in this contest that ends at midnight tonight (night of October 31). This will only take you a minute!

Voting for my article requires signing up for Aemula, a new paradigm-shifting news/journalism platform. Completely apart from my ask, if you are down for the cause of reducing polarization, I think you should sign for Aemula: reducing toxic polarization is one of their goals (more on Aemula below).

To vote for my article and help me win the contest:

• Go to my article; if you don’t have an Aemula subscription, you’ll be prompted to sign up; it’s free and easy.

• At the bottom of my article, click the ‘Support’ button

That’s it. And thank you if you do!

I think you should sign up for Aemula, regardless of doing me a favor. The founder of Aemula, Don Templeman, has an impressive vision for how decentralized, self-regulating technology can create a news/journalism platform with incentives for healthier, less biased, less team-based, less polarizing approaches baked into it. I am a believer in Don’s vision; I interviewed him for my podcast about his vision for Aemula. Don is just getting started with Aemula; he’s currently seeking funding and such (and I myself wanted to invest in him but I didn’t meet the investor criteria). There’s a chance Aemula is the future of how news is done; you might consider signing up just to be in at the start of something that could truly be revolutionary.
