the concept of vouching for someone or for a source enables us to construct a horizontal form of trust, i.e. trust without authority relations.

The problem with saying that "slow is wrong" is that were that true, then it would be wrong to engage in the primary market, but without the primary market, the secondary markets can't exist. So, as a maxim, it is self-defeating.

This should remind us that falling behind is not intrinsically bad. Rather, it is only bad if your success criterion is a competitive one.

Through the mechanism of allegedly 'objective' performance metrics, they are value aligned to a set of values which resembles Ayn Rand's Objectivism. We are creating artificial ayn-randism.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
