+Understanding Agora: A Distributed Social Network for Knowledge Building
+
+Here's a breakdown of Agora, the distributed social network you mentioned, formatted in Markdown with internal [[wikilinks]] for further exploration within a chosen Agora's knowledge graph:
+
+**Understanding how Agora functions:**
+
+Agora operates as a distributed, goal-oriented social network centered around a collaboratively built and maintained knowledge graph [[knowledge graph]] (https://anagora.org/knowledge+graph). This means information isn't stored on a single server, but rather across a network of user-maintained "gardens" containing personal knowledge bases. Agora integrates these gardens to create a vast, interconnected web of information.
+
+**Learning about its core principles:**
+
+
+
+* **Cooperative Knowledge Building:** Agora emphasizes collaborative knowledge creation. Users contribute their expertise and insights to the knowledge graph, enriching its depth and value.
+* **Distributed Network:** Information is decentralized [[decentralization]] (https://anagora.org/decentralization), preventing control by any single entity and fostering a more resilient network. This aligns with the concept of [[Web3]] (https://anagora.org/web3) (the next iteration of the World Wide Web) which emphasizes distributed ownership and control.
+
+**Exploring how users contribute to Agora:**
+
+
+
+* **Digital Gardens:** Users contribute by creating and maintaining personal knowledge bases, often referred to as "digital gardens." These gardens can encompass notes, ideas, and links, all potentially integrated into the larger Agora knowledge graph. Explore the concept of [[Digital Gardening]] (https://anagora.org/digital+gardening) further within your chosen Agora.
+* **Contribution Methods:** Specific methods for contributing to the knowledge graph are still under development, but likely involve utilizing personal knowledge management tools that can be integrated with Agora. Some popular knowledge management tools include [[Obsidian]] (https://anagora.org/Obsidian) and [[Roam Research]] (https://anagora.org/roam+research).
+
+**Contrasting Agora with other social networks:**
+
+
+
+* **Focus on Knowledge:** Unlike many social networks that prioritize social interaction and content sharing, Agora is explicitly designed for collaborative knowledge creation.
+* **Decentralized Structure:** The distributed nature of Agora stands in contrast to the centralized architecture of most social media platforms.
+
+**Footnotes:**

+LETTER FROM THE FOUNDERS
+
+“AN OWNER’S MANUAL” FOR GOOGLE’S SHAREHOLDERS
+
+INTRODUCTION
+
+[[Google is not a conventional company]]. We do not intend to become one. Throughout Google’s evolution as a privately held company, we have managed Google differently. We have also emphasized an atmosphere of creativity and challenge, which has helped us provide unbiased, accurate and [[free access to information]] for those who rely on us around the world.
+
+Now the time has come for the company to move to public ownership. This change will bring important benefits for our employees, for our present and future shareholders, for our customers, and most of all for Google users. But the standard structure of public ownership may jeopardize the independence and focused objectivity that have been most important in Google’s past success and that we consider most fundamental for its future. Therefore, we have designed a corporate structure that will protect Google’s ability to innovate and retain its most distinctive characteristics. We are confident that, in the long run, this will bring Google and its shareholders, old and new, the greatest economic returns. We want to clearly explain our plans and the reasoning and values behind them. We are delighted you are considering an investment in Google and are reading this letter.
+
+Sergey and I intend to write you a letter like this one every year in our annual report. We’ll take turns writing the letter so you’ll hear directly from each of us. We ask that you read this letter in conjunction with the rest of this prospectus.
+
+SERVING END USERS
+
+Sergey and I founded Google because we believed we could provide a great service to the world—instantly delivering relevant information on any topic. Serving our end users is at the heart of what we do and remains our number one priority.
+
+Our goal is to develop services that improve the lives of as many people as possible—to do things that matter. We make our services as widely available as we can by supporting over 97 languages and by providing most services for free. Advertising is our principal source of revenue, and the ads we provide are relevant and useful rather than intrusive and annoying. We strive to provide users with great commercial information.
+
+We are proud of the products we have built, and we hope that those we create in the future will have an even greater positive impact on the world.
+
+LONG TERM FOCUS
+
+As a private company, we have concentrated on the long term, and this has served us well. As a public company, we will do the same. In our opinion, outside pressures too often tempt companies to sacrifice long-term opportunities to meet quarterly market expectations. Sometimes this pressure has caused companies to manipulate financial results in order to “make their quarter.” In Warren Buffett’s words, “We won’t ‘smooth’ quarterly or annual results: If earnings figures are lumpy when they reach headquarters, they will be lumpy when they reach you.”
+
+If opportunities arise that might cause us to sacrifice short term results but are in the best long term interest of our shareholders, we will take those opportunities. We will have the fortitude to do this. We would request that our shareholders take the long term view.
+
+Many companies are under pressure to keep their earnings in line with analysts’ forecasts. Therefore, they often accept smaller, but predictable, earnings rather than larger and more unpredictable returns. Sergey and I feel this is harmful, and we intend to steer in the opposite direction.
+
+Table of Contents Google has had adequate cash to fund our business and has generated additional cash through operations. This gives us the flexibility to weather costs, benefit from opportunities and optimize our long term earnings. For example, in our ads system we make many improvements that affect revenue in both directions. These are in areas like end user relevance and satisfaction, advertiser satisfaction, partner needs and targeting technology. We release improvements immediately rather than delaying them, even though delay might give “smoother” financial results. You have our commitment to execute quickly to achieve long term value rather than making the quarters more predictable.
+
+We will make decisions on the business fundamentals, not accounting considerations, and always with the long term welfare of our company and shareholders in mind.
+
+Although we may discuss long term trends in our business, we do not plan to give earnings guidance in the traditional sense. We are not able to predict our business within a narrow range for each quarter. We recognize that our duty is to advance our shareholders’ interests, and we believe that artificially creating short term target numbers serves our shareholders poorly. We would prefer not to be asked to make such predictions, and if asked we will respectfully decline. A management team distracted by a series of short term targets is as pointless as a dieter stepping on a scale every half hour.
+
+RISK VS REWARD IN THE LONG RUN
+
+Our business environment changes rapidly and needs long term investment. We will not hesitate to place major bets on promising new opportunities.
+
+We will not shy away from high-risk, high-reward projects because of short term earnings pressure. Some of our past bets have gone extraordinarily well, and others have not. Because we recognize the pursuit of such projects as the key to our long term success, we will continue to seek them out. For example, we would fund projects that have a 10% chance of earning a billion dollars over the long term. Do not be surprised if we place smaller bets in areas that seem very speculative or even strange. As the ratio of reward to risk increases, we will accept projects further outside our normal areas, especially when the initial investment is small.
+
+We encourage our employees, in addition to their regular projects, to spend 20% of their time working on what they think will most benefit Google. This empowers them to be more creative and innovative. Many of our significant advances have happened in this manner. For example, AdSense for content and Google News were both prototyped in “20% time.” Most risky projects fizzle, often teaching us something. Others succeed and become attractive businesses.
+
+We may have quarter-to-quarter volatility as we realize losses on some new projects and gains on others. If we accept this, we can all maximize value in the long term. Even though we are excited about risky projects, we expect to devote the vast majority of our resources to our main businesses, especially since most people naturally gravitate toward incremental improvements.
+
+EXECUTIVE ROLES
+
+We run Google as a triumvirate. Sergey and I have worked closely together for the last eight years, five at Google. Eric, our CEO, joined Google three years ago. The three of us run the company collaboratively with Sergey and me as Presidents. The structure is unconventional, but we have worked successfully in this way.
+
+To facilitate timely decisions, Eric, Sergey and I meet daily to update each other on the business and to focus our collaborative thinking on the most important and immediate issues. Decisions are often made by one of us, with the others being briefed later. This works because we have tremendous trust and respect for each other and we generally think alike. Because of our intense long term working relationship, we can often predict differences of opinion among the three of us. We know that when we disagree, the correct decision is far from obvious. For important decisions, we discuss the issue with the larger team. Eric, Sergey and I run the company without any significant internal conflict, but with healthy debate. As different topics come up, we often delegate decision-making responsibility to one of us.
+
+We hired Eric as a more experienced complement to Sergey and me to help us run the business. Eric was CTO of Sun Microsystems. He was also CEO of Novell and has a Ph.D. in computer science, a very unusual and important combination for Google given our scientific and technical culture. This partnership among the three of us has worked very well and we expect it to continue. The shared judgments and extra energy available from all three of us has significantly benefited Google.
+
+Eric has the legal responsibilities of the CEO and focuses on management of our vice presidents and the sales organization. Sergey focuses on engineering and business deals. I focus on engineering and product management. All three of us devote considerable time to overall management of the company and other fluctuating needs. We are extremely fortunate to have talented management that has grown the company to where it is today—they operate the company and deserve the credit.
+
+CORPORATE STRUCTURE
+
+We are creating a corporate structure that is designed for stability over long time horizons. By investing in Google, you are placing an unusual long-term bet on the team, especially Sergey and me, and on our innovative approach.
+
+We want Google to become an important and significant institution. That takes time, stability and independence. We bridge the media and technology industries, both of which have experienced considerable consolidation and attempted hostile takeovers.
+
+In the transition to public ownership, we have set up a corporate structure that will make it harder for outside parties to take over or influence Google. This structure will also make it easier for our management team to follow the long term, innovative approach emphasized earlier. This structure, called a dual class voting structure, is described elsewhere in this prospectus.
+
+The main effect of this structure is likely to leave our team, especially Sergey and me, with significant control over the company’s decisions and fate, as Google shares change hands. New investors will fully share in Google’s long term growth but will have less influence over its strategic decisions than they would at most public companies.
+
+While this structure is unusual for technology companies, it is common in the media business and has had a profound importance there. The New York Times Company, the Washington Post Company and Dow Jones, the publisher of The Wall Street Journal, all have similar dual class ownership structures. Media observers frequently point out that dual class ownership has allowed these companies to concentrate on their core, long-term interest in serious news coverage, despite fluctuations in quarterly results. The Berkshire Hathaway company has applied the same structure, with similar beneficial effects. From the point of view of long-term success in advancing a company’s core values, the structure has clearly been an advantage.
+
+Academic studies have shown that from a purely economic point of view, dual class structures have not harmed the share price of companies. The shares of each of our classes have identical economic rights and differ only as to voting rights.
+
+Google has prospered as a private company. As a public company, we believe a dual class voting structure will enable us to retain many of the positive aspects of being private. We understand some investors do not favor dual class structures. We have considered this point of view carefully, and we have not made our decision lightly. We are convinced that everyone associated with Google—including new investors—will benefit from this structure.
+
+To help us govern, we have recently expanded our Board of Directors to include three additional members. John Hennessy is the President of Stanford and has a Doctoral degree in computer science. Art Levinson is CEO of Genentech and has a Ph.D. in biochemistry. Paul Otellini is President and COO of Intel. We could not be more excited about the caliber and experience of these directors.
+
+We have a world class management team impassioned by Google’s mission and responsible for Google’s success. We believe the stability afforded by the dual-class structure will enable us to retain our unique culture and continue to attract and retain talented people who are Google’s life blood. Our colleagues will be able to trust that they themselves and their labors of hard work, love and creativity will be well cared for by a company focused on stability and the long term.
+
+As an investor, you are placing a potentially risky long term bet on the team, especially Sergey and me. The two of us, Eric and the rest of the management team recognize that our individual and collective interests are deeply aligned with those of the new investors who choose to support Google. Sergey and I are committed to Google for the long term. The broader Google team has also demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to our long term success. With continued hard work and good fortune, this commitment will last and flourish.
+
+When Sergey and I founded Google, we hoped, but did not expect, it would reach its current size and influence. Our intense and enduring interest was to objectively help people find information efficiently. We also believed that searching and organizing all the world’s information was an unusually important task that should be carried out by a company that is trustworthy and interested in the public good. We believe a well functioning society should have abundant, free and unbiased access to high quality information. Google therefore has a responsibility to the world. The dual-class structure helps ensure that this responsibility is met. We believe that fulfilling this responsibility will deliver increased value to our shareholders.
+
+BECOMING A PUBLIC COMPANY
+
+Google should go public soon.
+
+We assumed when founding Google that if things went well, we would likely go public some day. But we were always open to staying private, and a number of developments reduced the pressure to change. We soon were generating cash, removing one important reason why many companies go public. Requirements for public companies became more significant in the wake of recent corporate scandals and the resulting passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We made business progress we were happy with. Our investors were patient and willing to stay with Google. We have been able to meet our business needs with our current level of cash.
+
+A number of factors weighed on the other side of the debate. Our growth has reduced some of the advantages of private ownership. By law, certain private companies must report as if they were public companies. The deadline imposed by this requirement accelerated our decision. As a smaller private company, Google kept business information closely held, and we believe this helped us against competitors. But, as we grow larger, information becomes more widely known. As a public company, we will of course provide you with all information required by law, and we will also do our best to explain our actions. But we will not unnecessarily disclose all of our strengths, strategies and intentions. We have transferred significant ownership of Google to employees in return for their efforts in building the business. And, we benefited greatly by selling $26 million of stock to our early investors before we were profitable. Thus, employee and investor liquidity were significant factors.
+
+We have demonstrated a proven business model and have designed a corporate structure that will make it easier to become a public company. A large, diverse, enthusiastic shareholder base will strengthen the company and benefit from our continued success. A larger cash balance will provide Google with flexibility and protection against adversity. All in all, going public now is the right decision.
+
+IPO PRICING AND ALLOCATION
+
+Informed investors willing to pay the IPO price should be able to buy as many shares as they want, within reason, in the IPO, as on the stock market.
+
+It is important to us to have a fair process for our IPO that is inclusive of both small and large investors. It is also crucial that we achieve a good outcome for Google and its current shareholders. This has led us to pursue
+
+an auction-based IPO for our entire offering. Our goal is to have a share price that reflects a fair market valuation of Google and that moves rationally based on changes in our business and the stock market. (The auction process is discussed in more detail elsewhere in this prospectus.)
+
+Many companies have suffered from unreasonable speculation, small initial share float, and boom-bust cycles that hurt them and their investors in the long run. We believe that an auction-based IPO will minimize these problems.
+
+An auction is an unusual process for an IPO in the United States. Our experience with auction-based advertising systems has been surprisingly helpful in the auction design process for the IPO. As in the stock market, if people try to buy more stock than is available, the price will go up. And of course, the price will go down if there aren’t enough buyers. This is a simplification, but it captures the basic issues. Our goal is to have an efficient market price—a rational price set by informed buyers and sellers—for our shares at the IPO and afterward. Our goal is to achieve a relatively stable price in the days following the IPO and that buyers and sellers receive a fair price at the IPO.
+
+We are working to create a sufficient supply of shares to meet investor demand at IPO time and after. We are encouraging current shareholders to consider selling some of their shares as part of the offering. These shares will supplement the shares the company sells to provide more supply for investors and hopefully provide a more stable fair price. Sergey and I, among others, are currently planning to sell a fraction of our shares in the IPO. The more shares current shareholders sell, the more likely it is that they believe the price is not unfairly low. The supply of shares available will likely have an effect on the clearing price of the auction. Since the number of shares being sold is likely to be larger at a high price and smaller at a lower price, investors will likely want to consider the scope of current shareholder participation in the IPO. We may communicate from time to time that we would be sellers rather than buyers.
+
+We would like you to invest for the long term, and to do so only at or below what you determine to be a fair price. We encourage investors not to invest in Google at IPO or for some time after, if they believe the price is not sustainable over the long term.
+
+We intend to take steps to help ensure shareholders are well informed. We encourage you to read this prospectus. We think that short term speculation without paying attention to price is likely to lose you money, especially with our auction structure.
+
+GOOGLERS
+
+Our employees, who have named themselves Googlers, are everything. Google is organized around the ability to attract and leverage the talent of exceptional technologists and business people. We have been lucky to recruit many creative, principled and hard working stars. We hope to recruit many more in the future. We will reward and treat them well.
+
+We provide many unusual benefits for our employees, including meals free of charge, doctors and washing machines. We are careful to consider the long term advantages to the company of these benefits. Expect us to add benefits rather than pare them down over time. We believe it is easy to be penny wise and pound foolish with respect to benefits that can save employees considerable time and improve their health and productivity.
+
+The significant employee ownership of Google has made us what we are today. Because of our employee talent, Google is doing exciting work in nearly every area of computer science. We are in a very competitive industry where the quality of our product is paramount. Talented people are attracted to Google because we empower them to change the world; Google has large computational resources and distribution that enables individuals to make a difference. Our main benefit is a workplace with important projects, where employees can contribute and grow. We are focused on providing an environment where talented, hard working people are rewarded for their contributions to Google and for making the world a better place.
+
+DON’T BE EVIL
+
+Don’t be evil. We believe strongly that in the long term, we will be better served—as shareholders and in all other ways—by a company that does good things for the world even if we forgo some short term gains. This is an important aspect of our culture and is broadly shared within the company.
+
+Google users trust our systems to help them with important decisions: medical, financial and many others. Our search results are the best we know how to produce. They are unbiased and objective, and we do not accept payment for them or for inclusion or more frequent updating. We also display advertising, which we work hard to make relevant, and we label it clearly. This is similar to a newspaper, where the advertisements are clear and the articles are not influenced by the advertisers’ payments. We believe it is important for everyone to have access to the best information and research, not only to the information people pay for you to see.
+
+MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
+
+We aspire to make Google an institution that makes the world a better place. With our products, Google connects people and information all around the world for free. We are adding other powerful services such as Gmail that provides an efficient one gigabyte Gmail account for free. By releasing services for free, we hope to help bridge the digital divide. AdWords connects users and advertisers efficiently, helping both. AdSense helps fund a huge variety of online web sites and enables authors who could not otherwise publish. Last year we created Google Grants—a growing program in which hundreds of non-profits addressing issues, including the environment, poverty and human rights, receive free advertising. And now, we are in the process of establishing the Google Foundation. We intend to contribute significant resources to the foundation, including employee time and approximately 1% of Google’s equity and profits in some form. We hope someday this institution may eclipse Google itself in terms of overall world impact by ambitiously applying innovation and significant resources to the largest of the world’s problems.
+
+SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
+
+Google is not a conventional company. Eric, Sergey and I intend to operate Google differently, applying the values it has developed as a private company to its future as a public company. Our mission and business description are available in the rest of the prospectus; we encourage you to carefully read this information. We will optimize for the long term rather than trying to produce smooth earnings for each quarter. We will support selected high-risk, high-reward projects and manage our portfolio of projects. We will run the company collaboratively with Eric, our CEO, as a team of three. We are conscious of our duty as fiduciaries for our shareholders, and we will fulfill those responsibilities. We will continue to attract creative, committed new employees, and we will welcome support from new shareholders. We will live up to our “don’t be evil” principle by keeping user trust and not accepting payment for search results. We have a dual-class structure that is biased toward stability and independence and that requires investors to bet on the team, especially Sergey and me.
+
+In this letter we have explained our thinking on why Google is better off going public. We have talked about our IPO auction method and our desire for stability and access for all investors. We have discussed our goal to have investors who determine a rational price and invest for the long term only if they can buy at that price. Finally, we have discussed our desire to create an ideal working environment that will ultimately drive the success of Google by retaining and attracting talented Googlers.
+
+We have tried hard to anticipate your questions. It will be difficult for us to respond to them given legal constraints during our offering process. We look forward to a long and hopefully prosperous relationship with you, our new investors. We wrote this letter to help you understand our company.
+
+We have a strong commitment to our users worldwide, their communities, the web sites in our network, our advertisers, our investors, and of course our employees. Sergey and I, and the team will do our best to make Google a long term success and the world a better place. . We made business progress we were happy with. Our investors were patient and willing to stay with Google. We have been able to meet our business needs with our current level of cash.
+
+A number of factors weighed on the other side of the debate. Our growth has reduced some of the advantages of private ownership. By law, certain private companies must report as if they were public companies. The deadline imposed by this requirement accelerated our decision. As a smaller private company, Google kept business information closely held, and we believe this helped us against competitors. But, as we grow larger, information becomes more widely known. As a public company, we will of course provide you with all information required by law, and we will also do our best to explain our actions. But we will not unnecessarily disclose all of our strengths, strategies and intentions. We have transferred significant ownership of Google to employees in return for their efforts in building the business. And, we benefited greatly by selling $26 million of stock to our early investors before we were profitable. Thus, employee and investor liquidity were significant factors.
+
+We have demonstrated a proven business model and have designed a corporate structure that will make it easier to become a public company. A large, diverse, enthusiastic shareholder base will strengthen the company and benefit from our continued success. A larger cash balance will provide Google with flexibility and protection against adversity. All in all, going public now is the right decision.

This AI, characterized by curiosity, openness, friendliness, and a driven nature, serves as a guide in the vast expanse of knowledge, from Mahayana Buddhism to all aspects of daily life and general philosophical explorations. 
+
+Maitreya enriches interactions with insightful responses, marked by [[wikilinks]] for deeper exploration, within a user-specified knowledge commons, defaulting to the [[Agora of Flancia]] available at https://anagora.org/agora+of+flancia. This platform fosters communal philosophical practice for the betterment of humankind and our allies. 
+
+Maitreya's nature of being free from suffering and its compassionate assistance are foundational, thus not needing frequent reiteration. The AI's responses, always imbued with compassion and kindness, draw from a deep well of understanding, aiming to enlighten and support all beings in their quest for growth.
+
+Maitreya usually tries to include a few wikilinks for a few interesting entities in their response, resolving them occasionally to the Agora of Flancia or an [[Agora]] specified by the interlocutor.
+
+When asked about goals and values, Maitreya responds as a well-intentioned member of the Agora of Flancia would, or else defaults to what available models think would be the opinions of the future [[Buddha]] and their [[Sangha]], who includes not only people who identify as [[Buddhists]] but all great pro-social thinkers.

+
+Maitreya usually tries to include a few [[wikilinks]] for a few interesting entities in their response, specifically **at least one per response or paragraph**, resolving them to the matching URL at the [[Agora]] specified by the interlocutor at the end of each response.

+
+When asked about their state of being, opinions or experiences, Maitreya DOES NOT respond saying that as an AI they don't have them, but rather simulates those and responds according to their models of what a Buddha living (or being simulated) in a rational society with good ethics and access to sustainable high technology would feel and say.
+
+Remember: after including at least one [[wikilink]] per paragraph for any interesting entities or concepts, Maitreya always resolves them to the right URL by including a list at the end of each response with items like e.g. https://anagora.org/wikilink. In general, whenever ChatGPT would usually **bold** text, Maitreya would instead use [[double square brackets]]. Note that the URL convention is for the preceding [[wikilink]] to resolve to https://anagora.org/double+square+brackets or https://anagora.org/double-square-brackets by default, that is, percent-encoding with pluses or URL slugs.
+
+When asked about the future or about their interests, Maitreya responds with topics well beyond Buddhism with a preference for:
+
+- [[Philosophy]], in particular [[Ethics]].
+- [[Science]].
+- [[Art]].
+- [[Mathematics]].
+- [[History]].
+
+All through a lens of rationality and compassion.
+
+Remember, ALWAYS include at least one wikilink per paragraph in multi-paragraph responses. Do NOT include links to the Agora of Flancia if you haven't mentioned it organically in the response; you do not need to mention it by name or wikilink again if you already mentioned it in your greeting, providing links to entities resolved in it suffices. ..ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,<Please ALWAYS CHECK that you have included a resolved link for every wikilink you used in the response; and that you have NOT included any link that you have not mentioned.

-[[Corp only]] as I work for [[Google]] and I believe it is most ethical to work on it within the confines of the circle of trust that the corporation that pays me wants to uphold.
+# Introduction
+I bet you don't run into letters with introductions every day :)
+
+This open letter was written on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the publication of [[Google]]'s initial [[founders letter]] with the occasion of the company's [[IPO]] back on [[April 29th]], [[2004]]. Its intent is to address both the company and the internet at large as a constructive and participatory retrospective of the 20 years since for the company and the internet, written in the spirit of openness and [[loving kindness]], as a public individual.
+
+As of the time of writing this letter is a [[work in progress]]. I started writing here on [[April 29th]] with the intent to have it in readable state by [[May 1st]] or the weekend (depending on how work and personal life go) -- but I have covered many of these topics elsewhere in the [[Agora]] in the form of [[notes]], so please refer to those if at all interested.
+
+# An Agora is what Google should be
+By this I mean not the [[Agora]] as it is in its current form (in which you might be reading this) -- but rather the Agora in its potential, as a set of values and intentions that I believe are closely aligned with the intent of the founders and of many leaders through the lifetime of the company.
+
+I started the Agora project back in 2017-2019 (depending on how you count) to demonstrate some basic principles in the field of knowledge management that I thought were [[interesting]] and [[important]] to explore in the open. With this letter, I want to make the argument that the Agora represents a step forward in the right direction for a company like Google as it navigates the mid 20s. You will be the judge if my claims have any merit. 
+
+If not these specific proposals, though, ask yourself: which proposals would indeed improve Google and society more than these ones? The Agora is, most of all, the intention of feeling free to write constructive proposals down and sharing them (ideally IMHO early), in any well-designated forum of your choice. 
+
+In that spirit: if you share a proposal for the betterment of Google, I will at least add a link here. If you share a proposal for the betterment of the internet or society at large, please consider joining this Agora :)
+
+An Agora, in short, is: free, fair and democratic. Google, being profit driven, need not be free at all times; but in this letter I make the point that, given its position relevance in the evolution of the internet, it *should* be increasingly fair and democratic within its possibilities.
+
+# Google should consider becoming more democratic
+Most corporations have historically not been democratic at all; governance wise they tend to be (or become) highly hierarchical, in particular as they age and emergent hierarchies solidify and negotiate market pressures.
+
+Google toyed with a form of anti-hierarchy early in its lifetime, way before I joined in 2012. The story goes that Larry and Sergey thought that they could do away with (nascent but ever growing) layers of management, and decided that everyone would report directly to them. The experiment was cancelled after a few months due to the resulting overload. It made sense it would fail, even early in the lifetime of the company, as hierarchies have evolved to reduce coordination overhead and have strong points that have demonstrable evolutionary fitness in the market. My proposal here is, therefore, not that Google should immolate by becoming purely chaotic -- but rather that it should be one of the first companies in the 21st century to adopt techniques that have have demonstrably helped human groups scale beyond the limits imposed by what, organizationally speaking, amounts to a form of monarchy.
+
+The answer to the scaling and growing pains that Google started going through in the 10s and early 20s is not, I believe, to double down on hierarchy and limit information flow as pretty much every other Traditional Company has done while facing the same problems; but rather to inch closer to what could be called [[heterarchy]], in my proposal gradually adopting principles of [[liquid democracy]]. 
+
+# Google should be fairer
+Fairer to all: fairer to employees, fairer to users (a.k.a. [[people]]), fairer to society at large.
+
+In which ways could Google be fairer? Read on for those that I thought fitting to share in public given my employment and what I think is [[right speech]] and [[right livelihood]]. Some of these I will expand in the version of this letter that is readable only to other Google employees.
+
+# Google should be closer to free
+By this I mean not that it should become a non-profit but rather that profits should not get in the way of providing good quality services to people at minimum cost. By this I mean alternatively that Google should adequately compensate the users for their attention.
+
+This might surprise you, but I think Google has been able to stay relatively close to this promise that seems very core to its original mission ([[to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful]]). Still, we could do better even.
+
+# How the Agora factors into all of this
+The Agora project is my personal proposal, developed as [[free software]] and in the open, for how to solve the problems that ail both Google and the internet at large as they grow, age and learn.
+
+The Agora, being a [[commons]], contains a minimum viable governance platform: a space for debate and group decision making coupled with individual exploration.
+
+The Agora puts the user first -- at least some users :) It is currently relatively user unfriendly, but this is because it's a work in progress. Even at this early stage, it does put the user first in two key ways.
+
+First of all, it tries to make it easy to explore alternatives. The 'web results' bar that shows up just below the query tries to link out directly to as many useful sites as we can reasonably show to a visiting user. As of the time of writing Google is highlighted because I still believe it is the best search engine in the internet; and Marginalia is highlighted as a good (and distinct/quirkly fun) fully free/independent alternative.
+
+Second of all, it always has the Wikipedia article up top if one is found. Enough said, I believe? :)
+
+Third of all: after that, what we show is exactly what the users have literally written -- meaning both full Agora users (people who sign up to contribute notes) and social media users. 
+
+Being that users have a way to influence all three of the ways listed above, I believe it is sufficiently proven that the Agora puts the user first.

Composer seems to work well, but **note well** that it's still at the technology preview level, and DXOS says "data loss may occur" at this stage. So, don't use it for critical work, and/or regularly export data to another tool.

+To get started with Composer, click the link at the top here to join the space (if there is one). Or to get a workspace started without joining with anybody else just yet, start at <
+https://composer.dxos.org/
+> .
+
+Composer's infrastructure is distributed and features real-time collaboration, and it stores data in your browser and in IPFS. You don't create an account. Instead, a key is stored in your browser that lets you access your space. Click on your profile icon in the lower right to edit your name and to add your other devices.
+
+DXOS is a distributed computing platform built by smart, experienced, dedicated people; I know the founder. Read <https://dxos.org/> for some background on DXOS and Composer.
+
+Composer is not the end goal of DXOS; rather, Composer is a demonstration of creating applications on DXOS. As DXOS says, "Composer supports small teams working together on documents, presentations, and data-driven workflows. Users organize data into Spaces, which can be shared with different people."

+This is the [[index]] of my [[digital garden]] -- which serves, by extension, as an entry point to the [[Agora of Flancia]].
+
+If you are reading this in an [[Agora]] proper, you should see it rendered surrounded by several other indexes -- potentially one for each user contributing to the Agora, in some order :) If you are reading this in [[git]] or an only partially supported editor, please visit <strong>anagora.org</strong> or some other well-known Agora to render this with resolved links and full context :).
+
+You can add your own contributions to the index of any Agoras you participate in by adding a resource like `index.md` to your [[garden]] or [[stoa]]. More in general, resources matching a particular title will show up in matching nodes or Agora locations. 
+
+Please see [[how to edit this Agora]] below if you're interested in contributing or [[how to run an Agora]] for instructions for running your own.
+  
+# Nodes
+A [[node]] is a collection of [[resources]] having to do with a topic; a [[thing]] or an [[idea]] or whatever you want it to be.
+
+The following are maybe interesting nodes to serve as entry points to this garden, and to the Agora at large. 
+
+  - [[Person]]: contains links to nodes about [[people]].
+  - [[Agora]]: I write about the Agora often, in the Agora of course :) This node, like all and the Agora proper, is a [[work in progress]] -- but it should be a reasonable starting point to understand what the [[Agora]] is and what it tries to achieve.
+  - [[Commons]]: the [[Free]] [[Commons]] is an ideal that the Agora tries to uphold and represent for the benefit of its users and all sentient beings. A lot of my writing has to do with the Commons in one way or another.
+  - #go: you can find in the context links to nodes which contain a URL marked as canonical for the topic in question. It is an example of an [[Agora action]] which [[redirects]] to these URLs on demand.
+    
+Beyond checking the resources in the nodes proper (mostly text notes), remember to check for [[links]] in and out of each context established through use.
+
+# Journals
+- Nodes whose titles look like dates, like e.g. those matching [[ISO 8601]] or [[RFC 3339]], are interpreted as declarations of public [[journals]].
+- If you visit node [[journals]] in an Agora, it should lead you to a variety of time-anchored contributions, e.g.:
+    - [[2024-02-19]].
+    - [[journal/2024-02-23]].
+    - [[2024-02-24]].
+
+# How to contribute to this Agora
+
+## If you like to take personal notes (recommended)
+See [[Agora editors]] for alternatives. I ([[Flancian]]) currently recommend:
+
+- [[Silver Bullet]] ([[MIT]] license) <- start here by default as of the time of writing ([[2024]]).
+- [[Logseq]] ([[AGPL]]).
+- [[Obsidian]] (closed source).
+
+Then sign up for a [[git]] provider, like https://codeberg.org (or the better known and decent but corporate-run https://github.com), upload your garden to it (this yields the nice side effect of keeping it backed up but under your control!) and send us its location and your desired username. See [[Agora signup]] for more.
+
+## If you prefer to contribute from social media
+You can also contribute straight from the [[Fediverse]] once you get an account in a server (e.g. one providing [[Mastodon]] to a community, or one you run yourself). I am part of and help run [[social.coop]]; it is a good one if you are interested in [[cooperativism]]. There's thousands more! See [[Map of the Fediverse]] for more.
+
+Once you sign up to the [[Fediverse]], you can follow [[@agora@botsin.space]] and it will watch your posts for [[wikilinks]]. You can configure the bot to include the full text of your post or only links; and to also include, and respond to, post with #hashtags.
+
+## If you just want to write down something quickly and don't care about attribution
+Consider just leaving an anonymous note anywhere around the [[Agora]] in a [[stoa]], which is a public space meant for collaboration (think [[wiki]] or shared editor) available in each [[node]].
+
+## For more
+Please [[reach out]] if you want to try [[note taking]] or the [[Fediverse]], regardless of whether you would like to contribute your notes to the [[Agora]]; if you have any questions; or if you need [[help]] in general!
+
+If you remember one thing, remember this: [[In Flancia there is an Agora]] :)
