Have you read Scott Aaronson's latest blog in which he discusses the application of Google
technology to the problem to defining morality and improving democracy?

Eigenmorality
June 18th, 2014
This post is about an idea I had around 1997, when I was 16 years old and a freshman
computer-science major at Cornell. Back then, I was extremely impressed by a research
project called CLEVER, which one of my professors, Jon Kleinberg, had led while working at
IBM Almaden. The idea was to use the link structure of the web itself to rank which web
pages were most important, and therefore which ones should be returned first in a search
query. Specifically, Kleinberg defined "hubs" as pages that linked to lots of
"authorities," and "authorities" as pages that were linked to by lots of "hubs." At first
glance, this definition seems hopelessly circular, but Kleinberg observed that one can
break the circularity by just treating the World Wide Web as a giant directed graph, and
doing some linear algebra on its adjacency matrix.
