The AI education emergency

The Forward Board

Add an idea. Slide every idea from "Hold it back" to "Move it forward". Then move one question forward by lowering another. We push no single answer: the board shows where people land, and how far apart they are.

MyPriority: move one forward by lowering another

You have 100 points across these questions. To move one up, lower another. Your position on every question stays exactly where you set it.

How the board works

  • No sides. The board never asks your party, your name, your email or your address, and it never sorts anyone into a side.
  • Ranges, not yes or no. Every idea gets a slider from "Hold it back" to "Move it forward". One slide per person per idea; your latest slide counts.
  • What publishes. Ideas on this issue, written civilly, with no private person's name, no attack on a party or its voters, no contact details and no ads. Anything else is held with the reason.
  • Report. Every idea has a Report button. Reported ideas come down while they are reviewed.
  • No official voting. The board shows where people land. It is not an election, a petition or a poll of record, and it delivers nothing to any official.
