-=====What is Campfire.wiki?=====+====== Welcome ======
  
-The name this wiki comes from the metaphor used by Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying in their [[https://odysee.com/@BretWeinstein:f | Darkhorse Podcast]] of the campfire not just as a tool for warmth and cooking, but also as “a forge for ideas.”  As Mathew Crawford has put it, “The goal of the wiki is to aggregate good information in one place where it won't be censored, thus adding scale, cooperation, and reducing duplication of efforts.+You made it! Take a seat around the campfire. There is much to discuss.
  
-In this place we want to keep track of information on complex topics that is difficult if not impossible for the layperson to discover on their own. We have busy lives and the search for any truth demands full attention and our heady news environment provides an extra layer of challenge. Physiciansnurses, scientists, independent journalists, and more have been censored by the legacy media and Silicon Valley algorithmsThe information they have does not reach the eyes and ears of the public and therefore hinders our ability to make informed choices Those of us who have chosen to participate in this project reflect a similar broad range of skills and insights which we bring to this campfire to produce something together that we could not do alone+To find pages or info within the wiki, use the search bar in the top right-hand corneror visit the [[https://www.campfire.wiki/doku.php?id=start&do=index|Sitemap]].
  
-We have begun this project with the most topical and pressing issue in mind first: the covid-19 pandemic and the responses to it. From the very beginning much of what we were led to believe was incorrect. There is indeed crowd madness around this subject. From the science on masks, early treatment, and vaccine safety much of the information has been hiddenthrown into the memory holeand discarded as misinformation. Our knowledge base only grows by pitting ideas against one another publicly to see who has the evidence and argument to support their conclusions.+We've also begun assembling list of useful resourcesincluding other wikis[[wiki:resources|here]]
  
-**The easiest way to navigate the wiki is by clicking the Site Map link at the top right hand corner of the screen.** +==== What is this? ====
  
-====Recommended Pages====+**Campfire Wiki** is a project to document the details and events of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. Beyond simply capturing news headlines, the wiki is intended to sift through the layers of [[propaganda]] and partisanship laced throughout to extract the facts and record them for posterity. The goal of the wiki is to aggregate good information in one place where it won't be censored, thus adding scale, cooperation, and reducing duplication of efforts.
  
 +==== Why is the project important? ====
 +
 +We want to keep track of information on complex topics that is difficult if not impossible for the layperson to discover on their own. 
 +We have busy lives and the search for any truth demands full attention and our heady news environment provides an extra layer of challenge. Physicians, nurses, scientists, independent journalists, and more have been censored by the legacy media and Silicon Valley algorithms. The information they have does not reach the eyes and ears of the public and therefore hinders our ability to make informed choices.  Those of us who have chosen to participate in this project reflect a similar broad range of skills and insights which we bring to this campfire to produce something together that we could not do alone.
