List Explanation

It is my goal that each list will be organized so the best items are at the top of the list.

I will accomplish this with my algorithm that promotes ideas that have lots of reasons to agree with them, and demotes reasons that have few reasons to agree with them. This algorithm will also allow you to post reasons to agree or disagree with reasons. And so if you have a reason to agree with a reason to agree with an idea, it will also add to the score for that idea, and so on.
