Great idea Adam. You think as I do. I also have been kicking around these kinds of ideas IMO this platform basically boiled down to a massive conversation platform whereby users of this platform could, by way user managed meta data ie personal block chain and 'file' in on a conversation. Guilds could form whereby schools of particular thought regarding the issue can way in and persons could vote. Pretty much as you listed the only kicker IMO is the. GUI a real time visualizer that sorts out everything smartly.
