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?

I am a bit skeptical on improving democracy by such means, and a lot
more skeptical for defining morality. I have not studied the details
of the paper though (for reason of lack of time).

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.
