After analyzing Hacker News posts and comments, it became clear that social networks should prioritize the people behind the content rather than the content itself. With the help of Robert (robg), the neural basis of semantic knowledge and social semantic algorithms from 2008 were discussed. The goal is to discover the most knowledgeable individuals on various topics within the community and build relationships based on shared interests. Through an app called hn2.wilsonl.in, users can see their semantic contributions to Hacker News, search for specific topics, and map the community based on knowledge and relationships. This unique approach aims to uncover the people behind the words and connect like-minded individuals.
