Slipping the DISC
In almost any field of human activity, mechanisms emerge to suppress or downregulate low-quality ideas in order to maintain an institution's functions. These mechanisms become pathological when they are used to suppress truth, research, and innovation that may upset or drastically alter the field's structure, ultimately in betrayal of an institution's purpose.
Meta Projects
Tracking the Portal's many ideas can be difficult. These projects organize and reconvey those ideas, or develop technology to convey them.
