NTARI Generosity Programs | the Digital Citizen Research Workshop & Journal of Citizen Science and Working Memory

The NTARI mission will yield profits in the form of fiat currency because it they target financial algorithms with the intent of improving information flows between users. This will result not only in market shifts from one technology to another, but increased profits over and above its prior competitors.

The founders of NTARI see this as a problem to be solved rather than a benefit to them as shareholders. The first step in solving it was forming NTARI as a nonprofit, then learning and applying as much as they could about collective intelligence. As a result, NTARI has three programs designed to initiate processes that line up with our mission: to develop systems, protocols and programs for online global cooperatives. What follows is a description of the second program: the Journal of Citizen Science and Working Memory

Scientific Consensus

Scientific consensus represents the prevailing judgment, position, and opinion of the majority—or supermajority—of scientists within a given field at any given time. This principle applies across all disciplines of the natural and social sciences, shaping the content and boundaries of the human noosphere—the sum of all usable knowledge known to humankind.

The full breadth of human knowledge is vast, almost beyond comprehension. Yet, it can be envisioned as a murmuration—an intelligent, dynamic assembly capable of collective action.

A Global Renaissance

The Digital Citizen Research Scholarship enhances the ability of both leading scientists and the general public to coordinate collective action—fostering the testing, documentation, interpretation, and application of new knowledge.

Scholarships are awarded to libraries and third places that host digital citizen researchers for a month-long workshop on the scientific method. At the program’s conclusion, each researcher submits a formal study on a subject of their choice. Successful researchers receive a portion of the allocated scholarship funds.

In addition to scholarships and workshops, NTARI’s Forge Lab will develop the Journal of Citizen Science and Working Memory—a peer-to-peer review network dedicated to digital citizen dialog
