Useful and Useless Information
Useful and Useless Information
The Life-Depot Search Engine is your NEW survival guide to the Internet World of Information and Misinformation!
If utility is our principle and we seek to utilize everything favorably for the spiritual good and material welfare of human society, then what information does human society really need to succeed in life as individuals, families and communities?
To answer this question, we started by collecting the website categories featured at similarweb.com and then we labelled them according to 3 broader divisions according to their relevance to a sustainable decentralized society as either:
1. Useful valuable Information (to accept)
2. Questionable Information (to consider) or
3. Useless Information (to reject)
The Lack of Values
The Lack of Values
What became painfully apparent is the lack of values in most of even the potentially useful categories; effectively making them useless. For example, the arts and entertainment category can clearly be utilized favorably to cultivate spirituality and positive values through music, theater, movies and fine arts, but the vast overwhelming majority of arts and entertainment websites on the Internet are everything but that; and are more often the exact opposite of that.
Our Mission - Need for a New Search Engine
Our Mission - Need for a New Search Engine
We concluded the need for: "A search engine that curates content in all the favorable useful categories of human life to facilitate the systematic propagation of positive knowledge to society at large and educate all peoples in the core techniques of a fulfilling human life, in order to check the imbalance of values in life and achieve real unity and peace in the world." Thus was born our mission statement!
Checking the Imbalance of Values in Life
Checking the Imbalance of Values in Life
The imbalance of values in life can all be found on the #1 website in the world, which is currently the search engine at Google.com (through no fault of google's to be fair - they simply mirror what's out there), followed by the #2 search engine (de facto) Youtube.com!
If all those algorithms can effectively divide the world into their respective contentious ideological/political bubbles and echo chambers, then why can't we unite the world in peace by the same method by disseminating information that cultivates positive universal human values? We think we can! So we are doing it! (With a little help from Google who shares in the credit for any good that comes from this project!)
Just as google and youtube are unwitting gateways to all categories of vice and moral corruption, our new search engine seeks to be the premier gateway to spiritually valuable unifying content!

How Life-Depot Search Engine Curates and Categorizes Websites
Life-Depot Search Engine searches for the best categories and websites worldwide that favor, or are at least not antagonistic to, positive human values.
We started at Similarweb.com, which lists over 200 of the top website categories worldwide. To begin our curation we labelled them as follows and began curating websites under the following useful categories:

What's Next?
Our next project is to review and curate categories and websites that meet our editorial policy from the DMOZ (Open Directory Project) at https://www.dmoz-odp.org/ which is the world's largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web with 90K+ editors, 1 million+ categories and nearly 4 million websites in 90+ languages! These are websites curated by people, but not necessarily inline with our editorial policies.
This is how they organize their directory in 15 broad topics:
