The Society Library 📖

We @SocietyLibrary have mapped thousands more arguments to add to the @beffjezos <> @NPCollapse debate using AI! Here's a walkthrough of our maps. Link to the interactive website below, feedback is welcome! 🔽

New Graph: 📉"How can we ensure that parasocial engagement systems (AI personas, AI influencers, synthetic relationship platforms) do not disrupt the attachment formation abilities of minors under the age of 18 in the United States?" ➡️societylibrary.org/ai-debate-blog… (ungrounded small graph, made for a conference)

Grateful to join @foresightinst in Puerto Rico for Vision Weekend! We were invited to hold "office hours" to discuss ontology, data, and optimizing democracy. The Foresight Institute are excellent curators. Learn more about them at: foresight.org

@therealkrantz @JustJamieJoyce Please feel free to DM us and we will get connected!

@JustJamieJoyce @SocietyLibrary If you hired me, I would build something amazing. It's something I've dreamt of building for 15 years. It would accelerate your aims orders of magnitude. Please consider speaking with me. Please.

$10k bounty projects to help the @SocietyLibrary build. Useful tools I wish we had yesterday for the discourse happening today.

Q: If no one owns the Moon, can anyone have a right to profit from its resources - or should commercialization require collective consent from humanity? ➡️societylibrary.org/topics-blog/20… New Map 🗺️in the "Space Ethics" collection. Made by request by a PhD in martian geology. Ungrounded (for now).

We have often been asked about our epistemological framing, and while we have been actively working in the english-speaking, western (specifically U.S.) context for many years simply due to constraints alone, the @SocietyLibrary's mission is dedicated to knowledge collection and access in expansive ways. In 2026, a teammate at the SL will be working on an epistemic taxonomy so our rigorous inquiry processes can be even more intentional about accessing the broad spectrums of POVs.

@0xBGS @donatedotgg Yes absolutely! Most assets of fair market value can be donated to charities, if we are not mistaken.🫶 But on our website we're all set up to take those mentioned earlier! Any contribution is greatly appreciated and helps keep us going and growing!

@SocietyLibrary @donatedotgg Whoa you can donate stock? That’s actually really cool, I’ve never heard of that before

We are here for it! 🚀 Learn more about The Society Library's origins in the works of Franklin here: societylibrary.org/mission-vision

We are still here for it.✊We don't think Franklin's work gets enough attention and we are grateful that the Cosmos Institute is promoting it - even if the article is AI-written!🤷‍♀️ Thank you, though, for the heads up! If you would like to read more about Franklin *directly,* The Society Library has a link to his autobiography on our website: societylibrary.org/mission-vision 😏 Because, of course, we are "primary source" kind-of-people...though the "true" first edition of Franklin's autobiography, is by our understanding - debatable!

@typingloudly @SocietyLibrary @pangramlabs Wow, I missed that. Perhaps my mental AI detector is damaged and in need of repair.

“Every technical framework embeds a moral one…Optimize for ‘utility,’ and you assert that all human goods can be reduced to a single currency. These aren't neutral technical choices—they're normative decisions disguised as data-driven methodology.” h/t @SocietyLibrary

🚀 We've found that sometimes it's difficult for people to keep up with all the tools that the Society Library has built. 🗺️If you would like a tour of the tools, here are some some videos of our biggest hits below (minus our computationally-constructed legislation work; preLLM boom). 🛠️ But you know what's really cool? All of these tools are actually interoperable and work together - with the ultimate goal of being the "legislative branch in a box."

@0xBGS @donatedotgg We do accept crypto donations, yes! On the front page of our website it is possible to give with crypto, stock, a DAF, USD, etc. societylibrary.org

@SocietyLibrary Do you all accept crypto donations? If not, it would be cool to integrate @donatedotgg, super clean ux and trustworthy

@JoshuaBrake @cosmos_inst We have been dedicated to digitizing and scaling Benjamin Franklin's Junto for the past 7 years.

@cosmos_inst What is the best modern example of a philosopher-builder like Franklin?

Our civilization’s new epistemic infrastructure is being built. This demands builders in the spirit of Franklin who fuse deep thinking about human flourishing with the ability to engineer systems that advance it.

@cosmos_inst We are so excited to see others appreciate Franklin and see his enduring relevance! Our legal name is "The Benjamin Franklin Society Library" (DBA The Society Library) since we are literally digitizing and scaling Benjamin Franklin's Junto deliberation techniques with tech + AI.

@SocietyLibrary @Liv_Boeree Really appreciate Jamie Joyce’s thoughts on controversial figures as information sources, I’m more apt to trust the structure of SL knowing someone who values truth over character derangement syndromes is at the helm.

Join us on Wednesday July 2 at 12 PM ET for Metagov Seminar: @JustJamieJoyce will present on her work with @SocietyLibrary Learn more and register here - lu.ma/bsqnutec

@Blue_Rain91 @Liv_Boeree That's why collecting arguments, claims, and evidence is also key!

@Liv_Boeree Constituents' values are also a hot mess

Democracy is a hot mess right now, in part because politicians are an outdated technology. What if we replaced - or at least supplemented them with -databases that tracked their constituents' values? That's one of many juicy topics covered in this Win-Win conversation with @JustJamieJoyce . Jamie is the founder of Society Library and a leading expert on information infrastructure, and this is one of my favourite conversations thus far. Watch right here on X, or your usual pod platform.
