Project: Snowflakes | Private Social network for outliers

• Society carves an individual in its own image
• In a group, individual identity gets lost. A group has its own individuality, the participants conform to this identity
• It’s not easy for a node to break-out of the group
• If a group were to be sliced into smaller groups, it would categorize into three categories of sub-groups
  • extremists or conformists: enforcing the group’s individuality
  • neutrals: have no views on how the groups should enact
  • confused or troubled: though they have nothing against the group, they just can’t seem to fit in; and the group keeps pouncing on such individuals
• Focusing on the confused group, the reason they can’t quite seem to fit in, is not because they can’t be in a group, rather, they have not found their group, yet.
• Question?:
  • How to help such individuals find their network?
  • How to help such individuals to get to a point where they can express their feelings, clearly; and ask their questions, openly?

Solution:

• A private social network. to find and join a group
  • you have to answer a set of questions: about beliefs, or feeling
  • you have to put forward your own set of questions, feelings and beliefs
  • you can’t change your answers, your views
  • your answers would be exposed to the a set groups and individuals, either filtered by the algorithms, or selected by you
  • their answers would be exposed to you
  • now if both sides accept the answers, you become a part of your group.
