Idea Meritocracy = Radical Truth + Radical Transparency + Believability-Weighted Decision Making.

That's because an idea meritocracy--i.e., a system that brings together smart, independent thinkers and has them productively disagree to come up with the best possible collective thinking and resolve their disagreements in a believability-weighted way--will outperform any other decision-making system.
